At last, my Kaws JPP has arrived from kawsone! I have been waiting for this toy for the longest time!
If anyone read my previous mail, they might noticed the tee I was wearing when I took the photo with Touma.
Yup, I was wearing my favourite Originalfake tee, the JPP. It was my first ever Kaws tee and it is still my favourite OF tee even though I have bought a couple since then.
I have loved the Kaws JPP design ever I realised that Kaws was putting his XX design on the Tokyo police mascot that I always saw whenever I was in Japan. So when I knew that the JPPs were launching, I was on kawsone.com waiting for them to drop.
I read as well from Kaws blog that he will appear in an article in ANPQuarterly magazine. Check out the photo of the 4 feet Kaws Companion. I saw one in the OriginalFake shop when I was there and I wish I had the dough to bring one back (It's not for sale anyway and my wife will kill me if I did bring one back).
It's a good time to be a Kaws toy collector. :-)

Umm..the tee you're wearing, where did you get it from? cause the black/black JPP tee that came out after the toy looks different. (It looks like this http://vtss--vincetoys.blogspot.com/2008/07/kaws-jpp-tee.html)
I got the tee one year plus ago from OriginaFake shop. This is the first time the figure was used by kaws, I believe. I read somewhere that he was trying not to offend the Japanese as this figure is the mascot of the Tokyo Traffic Police so only the outline was used then.
