Bathing Ape Optimus Prime

What has Bathing Ape, basically an Japanese apparel store got to do with Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots?

They collaborated (yet again) and gave birth to Bathing Ape (BAPE) Optimus Prime (grey camo version)...this follows the earlier release of the green camo version which unfortunately, would be costing an arm and leg nowadays...wonder what will they come out next?? Maybe a purple version since it's the Shattered Glass version...

Nevertheless, as a fan of G1 Optimus Prime, how could I miss this for the collection? Buying from ebay saves me time and effort queuing in front of a BAPE store and the nearest one is down south..sigh...



Since I'm not going to unwrap this anytime soon, I'll just copy an image from the web just to illustrate the BAPE Prime being displayed...Now, to start the search for the green camo one...was on the trail of one earlier on ebay but lost to a fellow collector...*grumble*
