    And I will buy that testicle sir just so I can laugh when you beg for it back after realizing that you just wasted a body part for a toy. LOL!!!

    That said, the green prime looks pretty weird, yet I do like it.

    But the t-shirt designs just suck! Absolutely nothing entertaining at all about those.

    FYI...for people not familar with BAPE clothing...word to the wise...it's not cheap. Not your typical $20-25 t-shirts.

    Am I the only one thinking Optimus Primal would have been much more appropriate?

    For 7,140 yen, I expect these t-shirts to last many years, be bullet proof, and give +30 Dex, Courage, and Strength.

    Oh dear. It's been at least a decade since a decent BAPE t-shirt design... and these aren't fixing it.

    They've never really topped the navy "Ape Shall Never Kill Ape" tee imo - or the one that had the Cornelius face and "VERY" in a block print, I forget what the actual design was called.

    The G1 Prime redeco, by comparison, is interesting.

    Trailer covered in the trademark BAPE camo with the hidden ape head logo is cool. I also love the faded green on Prime, it's a nice designer toy look. I'd like a good look at what seem to be original stickers inside of the trailer.

    But, BAPE is crazy expensive to the tune of $50-$100 T-Shirts, so it's safe to assume this toy is out of my price range for what it is. I've found Takara and Hasbro's constant high end pricing on an old mold with simple engineering to be a bit much as it is. If this thing goes for $100-$150, I still won't get it but I'd find it reasonable considering the designer label and what is likely a limited run.

    The only shirt I kind of like is the one featuring both regular and Bape Prime, even though it seems silly to buy a T-Shirt that will essentially be an overpriced souvenir from that time when you bought that overpriced toy.

    Still...I think he looks really awesome.
