A truly bizarre Pokemon collectible has recently hit a popular auction house website, with a Cheeto chip in the shape of a Pikachu being listed for hundreds of dollars. Collectibles and merchandise for the massively popular monster-catching franchise have come in all shapes and forms since the series made its landmark debut in the mid-1990s. Beyond the video games and trading cards, the beloved series has graced everything from clothing and toys to cereal boxes and fruit snacks, including several life-sized Pokemon plushes.
