Baby Milo BE@RBRICK is not new but if you are a collector or a huge fan of the Japanese streetwear brand, you want to check out this latest edition, the Baby Milo BE@RBRICK “Ear Clear Ver.” Figure. Released to commemorate the 30th anniversary of 30 years of A Bathing Ape.
The Baby Milo BE@RBRICK “Ear Clear Ver.” Figure features the familiar BE@RBRICK silhouette with Baby Milo design but with transparent ears, hence the namesake.
For those who are not familiar, Baby Milo is a baby monkey character created as a collab between BAPE and Sanrio, owner of popular IPs like Hello Kitty, in celebration of Sanrio’s 50th anniversary. It is named after one of the characters from the Planet of the Apes.
Since its introduction in 1993, Baby Milo has grown to become the de facto mascot for the Japanese streetwear brand – in addition to the iconic ape head logo.
The Baby Milo BE@RBRICK “Ear Clear Ver.” Figure was released on July 22, in 400% and 1000% sizes, for 13,200 yen and 55,000 yen (about US$92 and US$384), respectively.
Oh, wait. Looks like both 400% and 1000% have been sold out. Sorry. Don’t blame us. Blame it on the limited run (which we never knew it was anyways) and the scalpers. You probably can find them listed on eBay for many times more than their original prices. Or maybe not. We never check.
