Japanese streetwear label [BAPE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-transformers-1) works in collaboration with [Medicom Toy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legacy-camo-shark) on a series of special Be@rbricks toys referencing its own label. There are two bear-shaped figurines that boast familiar pattern designs -- it shows off the visuals of BAPE's Shark hoodie and its signature 1st camo print. The two are also available in two colorway options of either green camo or a darker desert camo option. The third and final figurine recalls the label's signature little mascot, baby milo.

Notably, the brand-referencing toys also come with flexible screws, which enables the figures to rest in a variety of different positions. The set of Be@rbricks toys by BAPE and Medicom are set to launch online and in-store beginning February 3rd.
