About the original
Bounty Hunter was founded in Tokyo's Harajuku district in 1995 by Hikaru Iwanaga, who named the brand after his childhood attachment to Boba Fett. SKULL-KUN is Bounty Hunter's signature sofubi vinyl figure, introduced shortly after the brand's first toy release in 1997, and helped kick off the Japanese designer toy boom of the late '90s. The figure is cast in soft vinyl with jagged teeth, circular eyes, and a slumped posture. The Supreme version is a transparent 6.7 inch PVC variant with white ribs and a red box logo visible inside the torso.
About Bounty Hunter
Bounty Hunter is a Japanese streetwear and toy label founded in 1995 by Hikaru Iwanaga in the Harajuku district of Tokyo. The brand started as a designer toy shop oriented around Star Wars memorabilia (the name itself is a Boba Fett reference) before expanding into apparel, vinyl figures, and graphics rooted in punk and skate culture. Iwanaga met Jun Takahashi at Tokyo Bunka Fashion College and the two played in the cover band Tokyo Sex Pistols, putting Bounty Hunter at the center of the Ura-Hara scene alongside UNDERCOVER, NEIGHBORHOOD, and A Bathing Ape. Supreme has collaborated with Bounty Hunter across multiple seasons on graphic tees, hoodies, and co-branded toy figures.
