BABY MILO® Launches First 12 Zodiac Blind Box Series, Fall/Winter Apparel Drops October 22
A BATHING APE®'s BABY MILO® unveils its first 12 zodiac blind box series, pairing character traits with zodiac imagery, alongside Aquarius-themed apparel and zodiac accessories, set to launch October 22.
A BATHING APE®'s lifestyle brand BABY MILO® has launched its first-ever "12 Zodiac Blind Box Series," positioned as part of its 2026 fall/winter seasonal project, combining the brand's classic character with the imagery of the twelve zodiac signs into collectible toys—a creative direction the brand has never attempted before.
What's Inside the Blind Box?
The series includes 12 regular editions corresponding to each of the twelve zodiac signs, with the character dressed in themed designs for Libra, Leo, Sagittarius, and others, plus one mystery hidden edition that adds extra excitement to the unboxing experience. The regular and hidden editions are counted separately, and a released character poster displays all twelve zodiac designs together at once, making it easy for collectors to distinguish between the different versions.

What's the Theme of the Apparel and Accessories?
The accompanying 2026 fall/winter apparel and accessories collection is centered around a starry-sky aesthetic. With the character's birthday set as February 5th, making it an Aquarius, the brand has released Aquarius-pattern sweatshirts and fleece-lined hoodies in white, pink, and other tones, with an overall softer color palette.
Accessories include a crossbody phone bag made of textured plush material, as well as medium and large backpacks covered in zodiac motifs. These items feature zodiac patterns or plush design details, and some accessories—such as hats—also incorporate zodiac elements, showing how the theme extends across styling options.

How to Choose Between the Blind Box and the Apparel?
The blind box toys and the apparel/accessories cater to two different kinds of shopping needs—the former leans toward collectible toys, while the latter can be worn directly as everyday fashion items. Consumers can choose based on whether they're interested in collecting or styling, as both release on the same date but serve different purposes. Shoppers are advised to clarify their own needs before purchasing.
When and Where to Buy?
BABY MILO®'s 12 Zodiac blind box series and the fall/winter collection will officially launch on October 22, available at BABY MILO® specialty stores, AAPE STORE, select BAPE STORE® locations, and the official online shop AAPE.COM. Pricing for individual items, availability in Taiwan, the blind box drawing mechanism, whether a full set is guaranteed, and whether a complete set purchase option will be offered have not yet been announced. Interested readers should keep an eye on official channel updates.
