Kaws (1974) - KAWS BFF Black Edition Vinyl Figure Blue 2017

In 2016, KAWS debuted a new character at Central Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand — a 26-foot-tall, bright blue creature called BFF. Featuring KAWS’s signature style elements such as the crossed-out eyes, gloved hands, and oversized ears. Unprecedented for the artist is BFF’s furry exterior—reminiscent of the woolly texture of Sesame Street’s Elmo.

To celebrate this public installation, KAWS released 1,000 plush versions of the character, which sold out in just two and a half hours. One year later, KAWS designed a vinyl blue BFF in collaboration with MoMA: The Museum of Modern Art. The release of the KAWS BFF figure was met with viral success - even leading to a site crash due to the immense traffic.
