KAWS launches one of its figures in collaboration with ‘Squid Game’

Now, with season two on the way, famed artist KAWS brings his unique stamp to one of the series’ most iconic characters: Young-Hee, the doll who became a chilling symbol.

This release captures the essence of the KAWS universe, fusing his iconic character theCOMPANION with the haunting figure of Young-Hee. The result is a piece that features the doll with two locks of hair, dressed in an orange dress, combining KAWS’ X-crossed eyes aesthetic with the dynamic poses that have made his artistic universe famous. In addition, a monochrome version will be released for the 15-inch figure, maintaining the artist’s signature elegance and simplicity.

The KAWS YOUNG-HEE collectible will be available from 20 December at 10:30 a.m. HKT (Hong Kong time), exclusively online, on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last. In addition, fans will be able to purchase it physically at a temporary pop-up in Seoul, located at SHINSEGAE Gangnam Department Store, at the same time, but in local time (KST).
