Bearbrick x BAPE x Hajime Sorayama Baby Milo 100% & 400% 4x Set Gold/Silver

The Bearbrick x BAPE x Hajime Sorayama Baby Milo 100% 400% 4x Set Gold Silver is a January 2022 three-way collaboration between Medicom Toy's BE@RBRICK program, A Bathing Ape, and Hajime Sorayama, released January 29, 2022 as part of a collection that BAPE's official UK and Japan product pages confirmed combines all three brands' design identities to produce a Baby Milo BE@RBRICK colored with Sorayama's futuristic world concept, with the signatures of each brand placed across the figure's body. Hajime Sorayama, the Japanese artist and illustrator internationally recognized for his hyper-realistic robotic and android paintings that merge eroticism, futurism, and chrome metallic aesthetics, lends his signature metallic quality to the Baby Milo figure through the gold and silver colorways, the chrome-adjacent metallic finishes referencing Sorayama's long career of chromed robot and android illustration that made him one of the most influential commercial artists of the late twentieth century. The 4x Set in Gold/Silver designation indicates the lot contains four total figures: a 100% and 400% pairing in Gold, and a 100% and 400% pairing in Silver, providing both standard Bearbrick presentation sizes in both metallic colorways in a single package. The 100% BE@RBRICK stands at 7 centimeters and the 400% at 28 centimeters. The Baby Milo character, BAPE's iconic chimpanzee mascot whose distinctive expression and rounded features have appeared across BAPE products in countless configurations, serves as the figure form that receives Sorayama's metallic treatment, creating the specific fusion of BAPE streetwear character heritage and Sorayama's futurist chrome aesthetic. Released January 1, 2022 at a retail price of $500.
