The official Medicom Toy website have updated a listing with information about a new Bearbrick x Transformers Optimus Prime BAPE (R) Green.
These figures start out like cute, dumpy, cartoon bear versions of their classic selves, but like many a piece of Transformers merchandise – they transform into more traditionally proportioned robot modes. We had seen several other Bearbrick Transformers figures in the past, including G1 and Live Action movie inspired designs. It had been a while since we heard about any of these curious figures, but we finally have a new variant of the Bearbrick G1 Optimus Prime inspired by the green BAPE G1 and Masterpiece Optimus Prime we had seen before.
This figure will be out in August in Japan for ¥7480 ($67.70) and it will be a limited edition available via Medicom Toy website and A Bathing Ape shops in Japan.
See all the images attached to this news post and then sound off on the 2005 Board!

I accidentally overlooked that this converts to robotmode. Looking second time, I actually missed nothing.

I don't smoke, but I would legit buy this.
Let's be honest, Disney would be a decepticon.

Bear bricks always weird n neat but they are always really expensive. Be nice to own one though.

To be fair, a large number of fans from both niches (Bearbrick and BAPE) actually overlap.

I already have the rest of the line, so I might as well hunt this down too.

So… this is one niche designer brand figure homaging the deco of another niche designer brand figure? What kind of dark licensing rabbit hole have they fallen down over there…?
