We haven’t seen anything from KAWS in a hot minute and we were starting to get a bit worried we’d run out of unique plastic figures to have a tea party with. I mean, can you blame us?
Luckily, KAWS and Original Fake in Japan have teamed up to offer the public this KAWS Stormtrooper. Want one? Too late. People lined up outside Original Fake for hours in an attempt to score on of these bad boys. The only way you’re getting one is if you use the Force.
Stormtrooper helmets now come in any style imaginable. These paper Imperial helmets can be yours for free; all it takes is a little folding and a solid printer. Every color of the spectrum can be utilized to make an infinite amount of variety. Want a pink stormtrooper helmet? Done. How about one that’s modeled after Maverick’s helmet in Top Gun? Not a problem. The link below is the pattern in Pepakura (PDO) format. Just have fun with it!
Design superstar Kaws got the inspiration for his latest creation from the iconic Star Wars Stormtrooper. This figurine combines Kaws’ signature skeleton with the classic uniform of the evil Imperial clone troops.
Details about the Kaws stormtrooper are in short supply, but Hypebeast says it’s rumored to be a limited release for the OriginalFake store in Tokyo. This isn’t the first time Kaws has made a piece influenced by Star Wars. Last year, he made a Darth Vader figurine that was also an exclusive for his Tokyo store.
Ever wondered what would happen if a Stormtrooper were to land in downtown Shibuya? Well, apparently it leads to an all-out Stormtrooper dance party. Danny Choo and his band of video recording nerds set off to host the dance party of the century.
Sadly, some camera malfuncions led to the crew not getting as much footage as they wanted. But they got just enough to make us take notice. So, when’s the Star Trek prom? — Andrew Dobrow
