This figure is 100% authentic and was purchased from the kawsone.com website. KAWS announced that his ultra-popular MONSTERS figures will be released as vinyl toys tomorrow. The news comes after several Instagram posts the Brooklyn-based artist teased last week showing the cereal-inspired cartoons he first drew for a collaboration with General Mills in 2022. Each box in that initial release came with a small plastic toy of the figure depicted, but tomorrow’s drop will see each fully realized in three-dimensional form. Collaborations have been a core pillar to KAWS’ practice over the past decade, from his ongoing partnerships with AllRightsReserved and UNIQLO to Fortnite. The link up with General Mills was a special moment, however, as a group of the cereal brand’s most beloved characters, Count Chocula, Boo Berry, Franken Berry and Frute Brute, seamlessly took on KAWS’ signature artistic elements.
