Japan's renowned toy brand MEDICOM TOY, known for its iconic "BE@RBRICK" series, has joined forces with streetwear brand A BATHING APE (BAPE) and toy manufacturer TAKARA TOMY. Together, they are releasing a special transforming 200% scale figure: the BE@RBRICK × TRANSFORMERS OPTIMUS PRIME BAPE(R) GREEN. This unique collectible will retail for 7,480 JPY (tax included) and is slated for release on August 14, 2021, available at official A BATHING APE stores and MEDICOM TOY direct retail locations.
This three-way collaboration, the BE@RBRICK × TRANSFORMERS OPTIMUS PRIME BAPE(R) GREEN, stands approximately 145 mm tall. It masterfully blends the adorable BE@RBRICK bear aesthetic with the powerful mecha design of Optimus Prime, the supreme commander of the Autobots. The figure also faithfully recreates the distinctive BAPE® Green camouflage, previously seen on the TRANSFORMERS MP CONVOY BAPE® VERSION. What's more, its signature transformation mechanism is fully intact, allowing collectors to enjoy both the classic bear form and the heroic Optimus Prime mode thanks to its articulated joints! BE@RBRICK fans and Transformers enthusiasts alike won't want to miss out on this limited-edition, highly distinctive piece!
The arms feature BAPE®'s original ABC CAMO and the brand's iconic APE HEAD.
When transforming into Optimus Prime mode, the cute bear head cleverly becomes the feet!
