Peanuts X Original Fake Kaws Snoopy Joe Kaws Vinyl Figure Release
Oct 22nd
One of the most anticipated Original Fake Kaws Vinyl figures photo has been finally released. Over the years we have seen t-shirts with the Peanuts Character “Snoopy” leaning up against a red dog house or a tree wearing shades and a t-shirt that said “Joe Cool”. Artist Brian Donnelly AKA Kaws was very inspired by this shirt because Kaws and his brand Original fake produced the same style T shirt but reworked Snoopy’s Glasses and T shirt to say “Joe Kaws” and Kaws X eyes. Very minimal reworkings but still classic with the signature X eyes. After seeing the T shirt Kaws fans and collectors knew this day would come when they will see Peanuts Snoopy Joe Kaws Vinyl Figure. It will be available at the Original Fake store and on Kawsone.com. Release date is set for next week.
