BAPE Drops New Star Wars Capsule to Celebrate 'The Mandalorian' (UPDATE)
Releasing this weekend.
UPDATE (November 25, 2019): Only a few hours after sharing a teaser, BAPE has unveiled its full collaborative capsule with Star Wars which celebrates Disney+’s live-action series, The Mandalorian.
Although the teaser featured a Mandalorian symbol, which led many to believe the graphics would be taken directly from The Mandalorian, the visuals used in the collection are from iconic scenes from the original Star Wars trilogy. BAPE’s lovable Baby Milo sidekick can be seen frozen in carbonite next to Boba Fett and two stormtroopers, as well as dressed as an Imperial officer of the Galactic Empire situated next to Darth Vader and once again Boba Fett. The graphics are very similar to the ones featured in BAPE’s Star Wars lineup from 2011, however an added update sees the iconic Mandalorian symbol (the skull of the mythosaur) printed on the back of each shirt. Check out the looks above.
BAPE’s latest Star Wars capsule launches this Saturday, November 30 at all BAPE retailers and bapeonline.com.
Original Story (November 25, 2019): Following up on their storied history, BAPE and Star Wars are once again joining forces on a collection that will put every fan of the sci-fi fantasy saga over the moon.
Teased earlier today via BAPE’s various social media accounts, the image shared spotlights Star Wars iconography placed alongside BAPE’s ubiquitous Ape Head insignia. The second image features a Mandalorian emblem, teasing the collection could be solely focused on Disney+’s new The Mandalorian series. The post is then simply captioned, “BABY MILO® x STAR WARS™ COMING SOON.”
Going by past BAPE collaborations, fans can expect a range of co-branded apparel and accessory items such as T-shirts, crewnecks, and Shark Hoodies, and perhaps even a range of vinyl toys, stickers and much more. Keep it locked here fore when more details surface.
In case you’ve missed it, Jon Favreau shared the original concept art for Baby Yoda. Additionally The Mandalorian Baby Yoda merch is coming this holiday season.
