Retail Price: $980
Edition Size: 500 per color

This striking figure debuted in 2008 as a collaboration between KAWS, Japanese illustrator Hajime Sorayama, and Medicom Toy’s OriginalFake imprint. Standing roughly 12½ inches tall, the Companion is fully articulated and coated in high-gloss chrome—available in both silver and black finishes. The chrome plating accentuates both KAWS’s signature X-eyes and Sorayama’s hyper-realistic, metallic sheen, transforming the Companion into a futuristic, robotic performance piece, with each one individually numbered on the base.

Each colorway was released in a limited edition of 500 and retailed at approximately $980 at launch. Since then, the figure has become a standout for its technical execution and cross-cultural significance. Auction records from Phillips, Christie’s, and Sotheby’s confirm it as a marquee collaboration, rarely seen in original packaging and often fetching multiples of its retail price on the resale market. Its blend of KAWS’s pop sculpture with Sorayama’s technical chrome creates one of the most visually stunning and collectible editions in both of their catalogs
