How can you tell if a KAWS doll is real?

How can you tell if a KAWS doll is real?
To tell if a KAWS doll is real, familiarize yourself with the details of the particular KAWS figure you are interested in purchasing. Learn what has been released. For example, was a certain model ever produced in a particular colorway? Or with certain dimensions? Look up images from reliable sources. The XX logo on a KAWS figure is one of the most recognizable features and can be a helpful indicator of authenticity if you know where to look for it. In many toys, it is incorporated into the anatomy or costume, like the six Xs on the Companion model. On the KAWS Separated and Passing Through Companion, it is on the hands and feet. Be wary of KAWS toys with Xs that are misaligned, smudged or show bleeding. Look closely to make sure the X eyes are symmetrical. If you need assistance with authentication, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of KAWS figures.
