For those unaware, Dr. Slump Arale is a manga and anime series following the adventures of the world’s first perfect Android, Arale Norimaki.

The popular series helped propel manga and game artist Akira Toriyama’s mainstream recognition, leading him to create his best-known work, the Dragon Ball series (Wikipedia).

According to the brand, the collaboration is scheduled to drop Saturday, June 17. No word on when the collection will hit Singapore’s Bape store yet but keep a look out for more details.
