Bathing Ape is still around? Geez, I haven't worn their brand of plastic KO Air Force 1s since 2006. Talk about played out!

Great photos, looks like a soldier type Optimus or Jungle.
Now Hasbro, simplify the mold, scale it to Voyager and then
shotgun it all over the world please.

Wow! Excellent photos, however, I am still not a fan of the colors.
I do like this mold though... Pose-ability is amazing.

Meanwhile, this one will have to do.

Prime looks okay, but it would be better if they at least tried to make it a different character. I wonder how that deco would look with an Alternators/Classics Hound head...

...Huh.

Try switching out the B for other, similarly-shaped letters.

Nope, still don't see it.

I keep reading it as Babe, so I'm imagining in a string bikini posing on car hoods and such ....

holy sweet monkey jeezus. MP bape is apparently out, and have you seen what the asking price for this thing is?

behold the monstrosity

this bugger is probably going to cost over $400 wherever you find it. call me naive, but i really wasnt expecting it to be that bad.

I, too, witnessed the monstrosity. There's really no reason why this guy should have skyrocketed to this level...

Hopefully BBTS or TFsource or CapturedPrey or SOMEONE will get this thing in for a quasi-normal retail.

i emailed TFsource, but they dont have anything positive to tell us...

I am not aware of any plan to offer the Bathing Ape/Bape figures. But please tune in every now and again to check for your self.

well... trying to acquire an MP10A bape just became terrifying, and not because of the price. seems he's in the process of being KO'd, and ive seen some preorders listed on ebay.

bape, ultra magnus, and shattered glass seem to be on the KO menu. i cant wait for these to be released, so we can find out what the differences are in packaging to find out whats the real deal if we need to. cause i aint buyin no KO.

Yea... I've seen that TF Direct site. Makes me sad. :-(

Though, perhaps BAPE Prime will go down in price with the availability of KOs...

i thought that too. or maybe people will try and snatch up the few real ones out there because these are about to be released. i know i would if i could. :-(
