If you thought the Bearbrick Transformers were niche, wait till you get a load of this one. It is a redeco of Bearbrick Optimus Prime but in the BAPE camo look. We have seen this deco come up quite a bit in the past with Optimus Prime, like the MP release. For those unaware, BAPE is a clothing store in Japan specializing in a more urban style and they collaborate with Takara Tomy quite often. This toy was released in August of this year and is only found in Japan in their stores as well as some online stores, as described in their blurb below:

From A BATHING APE®? comes a special 200% sized (approx. 145mm tall) Transformers figure, created in collaboration with MEDICOM TOY, Japan's world-renowned toy manufacturer, and Takara TOMY, a toy manufacturer with a huge following for its various contents!!

The A BATHING APE® x BE@RBRICK x TRANSFORMERS figure is equipped with a mechanism to transform into Optimus Prime, the commander-in-chief of the Autobots, and each of its joints has a wide range of motion, making it possible to smoothly transform from a conventional bear-shaped toy into the realistic Optimus Prime. The bright green color that adorns the entire figure is a reprint of the TRANSFORMERS MP CONVOY BAPE® VERSION that was released in the past. The arms feature BAPE®'s original camouflage, ABC CAMO, and the brand's iconic APE HEAD.

This is a special item that can be used not only as an interior decoration, but can also be held and played with, with the brand's attention to detail incorporated throughout.

This collection is sold exclusively at Japan A BATHING APE® authorized stores and web stores. It will also be available at all Medicom Toy stores and online stores.

Looks pretty cool! …Anyone have an idea on how much this will run? …I’m guessing $95 to $125

For those unaware of the brand, the chap behind it, "Nigo", has collaborated with British, Japanese and American urban, hip-hop, big-beat, etc artists.

For example, this was from ones of his collaboration albums, and, just like the brand, and its logo, it features various sound and music samples from the original "Planet of the Apes", including "Ape Shall Not Kill Ape!" :
