The collection ranges from $7.90 phone cases to men's and women's shiny purple, orange and black Taco Bell branded anoraks for $29.90 and $24.90 respectively -- both of which are already sold out.

Also sold out? The women's bright orange bodysuit complete with a pattern of flames that says "hot, born saucy" on the front for $17.90, the equivalent of what you could spend on roughly 13 crunchy tacos, the brand's mostpopularmenu item in 2016.

In a press releaseannouncingthe team up, Taco Bell said that the collaboration was a perfect fit because the "the two [are] like-minded brands, together at the intersection of culture and innovation."
