A new exhibition from toys collector Strangecat Toys is set to see a host of artists put their take on a reproduction of the iconic 16-inch tall KAWS dissected figure. The show — titled “Misappropriated Icon” — will feature work from 13 different customizers and artists, with each one using a bootleg KAWS figure as their canvas.

Only some work from the exhibition has been previewed, including a “Darth Kaul” figurine from FER MG and a new statue from Mexican artist Shiffa. “Misappropriated Icon” is set to open at Redefine Gallery in Orlando on March 15, and will be open until March 22.
