Passing Through - Open Edition - 2018
PASSING THROUGH is an 8-inch vinyl figure released in 2018, revisiting the original 2013 piece depicting Companion seated and covering its face, offered in grey, brown, and black open editions priced at $200.
Retail Price: $200
Edition Size: Open
Released on September 5, 2018, Passing Through Open Edition revisits the emotional Companion pose from 2013 but in a smaller, more accessible format. Produced by Medicom Toy, the figure stands about 8 inches tall and shows Companion sitting with its head in its hands—an expression of anxiety or introspection, originally introduced in a large-scale public sculpture in Hong Kong in 2010.
Available in grey, brown, and black, this version was sold through KAWSONE and select partners and retailed for $200. Though labeled as an open edition, production ceased soon after the initial drop, making it scarce and highly desirable among collectors. The figure continues to perform strongly on the secondary market, reflecting its emotional narrative and iconic sculptural origin.
