KAWS Companion Figures, Prints and Skate Decks
KAWS is the professional name of Brian Donnelly, an American artist who started out with graffiti in New York and later moved into painting, sculpture and collectible objects. He is best known for his Companion figure, a cartoon-like character with crossed-out eyes that appears in toys, paintings and large sculptures. This page shows current eBay listings for KAWS figures, prints, skate decks and related items.
What you find on eBay
- KAWS Companion: vinyl figures in many poses and colors, often sold in their original box.
- KAWS prints: screenprints and other editioned works, as well as posters and books.
- KAWS decks: skateboard decks with KAWS artwork, usually meant for display rather than skating.
Understanding KAWS figures as art toys
KAWS Companions are a classic example of an art toy: a collectible figure designed by an artist and produced in editions. Many were sold through official releases and then resold on the secondary market. Because they are so popular, KAWS figures are also widely copied. Counterfeit Companions can look close to the real thing in small photos, so it pays to look carefully.
How to check authenticity and condition
- Box and packaging: check printing quality, fonts, labels and any stickers against trusted reference images. Original packaging in good condition is generally preferred by collectors.
- Figure details: paint lines, proportions, seams and markings on the feet or base should be clean and consistent.
- Proof of purchase: receipts or order confirmations from an official release help establish provenance.
- Price check: a KAWS listing far below comparable offers is a warning sign of a fake.
Prints and decks
For KAWS prints, the same rules apply as for other editioned artworks: look for a signature, an edition number and information about the release. Ask whether the print is a hand-pulled screenprint or a poster, because the two are valued very differently. For skate decks, check that the deck is unused, that the graphic has no scratches and that any original shrink wrap or packaging is included.
Whether you collect KAWS Companion figures or prints, always compare several listings before you buy and ask the seller questions when details are unclear.
