2016 is the year BAPE will be celebrating its 23rd anniversary and the iconic streetwear label has teamed up with Medicom to honor its milestone with a gilded Bearbrick Medicom Toy.
Since its 1993 debut, BAPE has gained quite the following and celebrity recognition from such stars as Pharrell, Tyler The Creator and Rihanna. For the brand's 23rd anniversary, the label has begun rolling out a number of limited-edition items from selfie sticks to apparel. Its latest celebratory creation is a Bearbrick Medicom Toy rendered in a metallic gold colorway and branded with the omnipresent APE HEAD logo on its chest while an underscored “23″ decorates the back.
BAPE fans wanting to get their hands on this exclusive Bearbrick figurine can expect the toy to be released on April 2nd, 2016.
