Here's an odd team-up. KAWS has partnered with famous handbag designer Nancy Gonzalez, who is known for using luxurious materials and rich dyes. KAWS' Xs aren't embroidered onto these accessories; they're applied with acrylic paint, and they're likely hand-painted, since the crocodile suede's texture would make it difficult to screen any graphics on. You've got to wonder how broad the cross-over is between the two artists' demographics and whether simply slapping a few Xs on something will make if fly off the shelves. Who are we kidding? Of course it will.

    Last year, Takara made an amazing Transformer out of a pun, mashing up the big bad guy, Megatron, with Sega's 16-bit Mega Drive. And while it was nowhere near as punny, they followed it up with a Playstation-based Optimus Prime. But they stopped there.

    It seemed like KAWS was done with vinyl toys, and I don't think this really changes that, personally. But either way, you can snag six "new" Companions from Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth's online shop.
