Check it OUT! A Bathing Ape in London will be having a huge "Pirate Store" sale starting January 26th and ending on February 3rd. You can save up to 50% on all sorts of treasures for men & women, items from the archives & much more. This sale is happening in BAPE's London store only. Aren't you glad I skipped most of the obvious pirate jokes? See, Clutter does love you! 

A Bathing Ape and Revoltech Yamaguchi have got together to produce this iconic Baby Milo figure. This time the precocious lil fella is accompanied with some awesome accessories with a BAPE camo guitar, bananas, a fedora?!? and has an alternative head and that also might be a removable tongue. Nice! The figure is 90mm tall and will be available soon through BAPE outlets for ¥2,980 JPY (approximately $38 USD)

Whilst i still havent figured out whether Nigo is still involved at all with Bape or not (guess thats the idea) the 20 year old japanese streetwear brand is continuing to produce some really nice on form collections. This time it's the ultimate collaboration for the brand with this set of Star Wars branded tees.

The Beastie Boys yesterday made the remaining sets of their Bape/Nowhere Ltd action figures available. They're more than a bit pricy but the proceeds are all split between 2 childhood cancer foundations, so it's all for an excellend cause. These are some outstanding figures and can be yours for $750! Even with the relatively high price i doubt these will be around for long so get buying here! The Action Figures are packaged in a 16x12" metal box. The box contains:

Just in case you've been awol from the toy world (in your post SDCC haze!) but Medicom are currently celebrating their 15th Anniversary (Check out our recent Medicom related posts here). Anyway here's another few additions to the 15th Anniversary collection which features collaborations with A Bathing Ape, Hysteric Glamour, Stussy, Oakley and New Era. Products available from the Medicom Toy 15th Anniversary Exhibition at Parco Factory in Shibuya, Tokyo

Another day, another Be@rbrick release! This time it's a capsule collection with A Bathing Ape (is Nigo still involved? or did the sale happen instantly and he's no longer involved? i dunno). Anyways the once hyper popular brand has collaborated with Medicom Toy to produce this collection of t-shirts and A Bathing Ape 100% Be@rbrick. No doubt all done to coincide with Medicom Toy's 15th year anniversary.

A Bathing Ape will launch only their second ever Pop Up Pirate store in the UK this July. Whatever you think of the brand these days, there's no doubt it is a massive cultural icon for so many, but has definitely gone past its glory days, and that's something Nigo knew when he sold the company earlier this year. saying that, the pirate store will draw a ton of people for BAPE at some knock down prices, even I as someone who has never owned an item of Bape Clothing (just sneakers) would be tempted to pick up a tee for old times sake.

Love this random collaboration, all for the sake of getting some Bape Camo on an Optimus Prime toy, that must be the reason surely. And to be honest it's genius, instantly creating what must be a real collectors item. Despite BAPE's sale and takeover and general winding down in popularity over other brands Nigo has been working with, along with the change in Japanese street fashion this collaboration is pretty cool and shows that people still want to collaborate with the brand. It's not dead... yet.

When two of your favourite brands get together again the result can only be amazing, and KAWS X BAPE baby Milo Dissected figure kicks some serious ass. Spotted over on KAW's facebook page he is up for preorder on ToyQube in three colour ways. Standing at approx 8" tall, i want want want!! Time to run over and put my preorder in!

Bape have collaborated with Aeon Scooters to produce these camo-encrusted, his and hers, scooters. Only 500 of each have been made of each and they're due to drop in January sometime! Expect the addition of a Bape paint job to seriously affect the price of these 125cc Scooters tho! Not that i'd say no to one!
