$5,000.00 Gonzo Cheeto

i remember a few years back the Popcorn Kermit was up on ebay..i always wonder how people come to think others want this and that they would pay that much

Thank goodness the seller 'lacquered and preserved' the cheeto or else who knows what could have happened to such a collector's item.

I wonder what Gonzo that is in the background? At first I thought it was a MR replica, but then I noticed the eyelids and nose is different and that it looks like a prototype that Terry Angus made.

Crazy! Inedible because it's lacquered? Gonzo should buy it and eat it.

I thought people were buying the replica until I realized it's the cheeto right next to it. Who would pay for that?

thats exactly what it is...i dont think Terry ever clothed his prototype

i love this line in the description..

found this little gem after snagging a snack out of a vending machine. Being the avid fan of everything "Henson", I noticed that this cheesy nugget bore a striking resemblance to everyone's favourite...umm...whatever he is, GONZO!

The Muppets collector in you can NOT resist this.

..trust me if i had 5000 bucks to burn a oddly shaped cheeto would not be on my list
