After giving you a first look at the upcoming collaborative vinyl toy between Undercover and Original Fake, we can show you some more images of the two colorways of the toy today. Jun Takahashi’s Undercover Bear and Kaws’ Companion come together in this one. They present the toy in a black and an off-white colorway, with the bear holding the smaller Companion. The toy will be released on August 29th at Undercover stores and at Original Fake Tokyo.

After an early leak a couple of days ago, the Original Fake 4 Feet Grey Dissected Companion has now been officially announced, which means that a release cannot be far away anymore. We expect a drop in early September.

A more detailed image of the toy follows after the jump.

TK of Silly Thing has worked on a series of very impressive projects in recent years. We reported about the recent Iron Man figure, The Beatles 1000% Kubricks and many more. Today we get a look at his personal art collection, which is nothing short of impressive. You will find numerous pieces from Kaws and Futura, along with other great contemporary artists. The symetry that is injected in the collection is also very nice – have a look at his toy line-up, where he placed multiple pieces of the same toy in the same colorway together, forming an overall eye-catching collection.

Word on the internet is Kaws will release a second 4FT Dissected Companion in a tonal grey colorway. “Not for the faint of heart or the spatially deprived, these monsters will be set loose at the end of the month to those lucky few OriginalFake account holders. Much like the original Brown version, this monochromatic colorway will most likely be in an edition of 100 and retail for approximately $6000US. No word yet on an official kawsone.com online release, so for those interested keep an eye out at your local OF retailer.” (Arrested Motion)
