Charizard-Shaped Cheeto Is Up For Auction, And Already At An Astounding Price

Enthusiasts of Pokémon are notorious for their fervor, particularly as Pokémania approaches its 30-year milestone in 2026. At times, these fans will shell out surprisingly large sums of money for unauthorized Pokémon merchandise, such as a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto that seems to resemble Charizard quite closely. The item, affectionately dubbed “Cheetozard,” was recently put up for auction, and the highest bid has already surpassed four figures.

Through Polygon, you can find a Charizard-shaped Cheeto up for grabs on Goldin auctions, but it’ll cost quite a pretty penny – only those with substantial disposable income need apply! As of now, the highest bid stands at $2,100, and there are yet eight more days left before the auction ends.

As stated in the auction details, Cheetozard was unearthed and kept safe by 1st & Goal Collectibles some time between 2018 and 2022. It includes an exclusive Cheetozard card, securely stored within a transparent display case. This quirky collectible might appeal to many, but it may not suit everyone’s taste.

Upcoming events: Next week, The Pokemon Company will stream a Pokemon Presents broadcast, where it’s anticipated they might reveal details about the upcoming Switch title, Pokemon Legends Z-A. Simultaneously, reports suggest that Niantic, creators of Pokemon Go, are in talks to sell their gaming division to Scopely, owned by Saudi Arabia. In Pasadena, California this weekend, the Pokemon Go Unova Tour – Los Angeles event is taking place. Before the start of this event, The Pokemon Company and Niantic made a joint commitment of $1 million for wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles.
