<p>Man, is it us or does KAWS have the golden touch?&nbsp; People go nutty over each release and collectors range from street-wise fans to high-end gallery goers.&nbsp; We love the mix of whimsey and artsy fartsy.&nbsp; Either way, this "statue" is really great when you get to see it up close.&nbsp; Oh, and for Fans of Disney, this is a wink and a nod (or riff) on the classic statue of Walt and Mickey that you pass by in the parks!</p>
