Original Fake and Peanuts are getting together to give Snoopy a slight makeover with the new JOE KAWS Snoopy Figurine.
For those who are familiar with KAWS' work, you'll notice that he's added his trademark 'XX' as a substitute for actual eyes in the JOE KAWS Snoopy Figurine. Other details include a yellow shirt with 'JOE KAWS' written in black and sunglasses with the same 'XX' markings on either side of the shades. For the most part, the brand stays loyal to the iconic beagle with the same face and features aside from the obvious branding from Original Fake. So aside from these tiny differences, most fans of Snoopy should be happy with the subtle makeover that KAWS and his crew has given it.
