An original Mr Blobby costume is currently on sale for tens of thousands of pounds on eBay.
The spotty pink nightmare tormented an entire generation of children but it appears his look is now a coveted aesthetic adults are dying to get their hands on.
An original costume of the BBC mascot has found its way onto the bidding platform eBay with almost 200 offers already placed. The seller claims the item is the same piece dating back to the mid-1990s and is "made of foam rubber covered with a rubber type material."

The costume's age means it has suffered damage including a cracked eye and a repair necessary to reattach the arms. Despite the handful of flaws, bidders have thrown an eye-watering amount at the get-up with the current price tag, at the time of writing, sitting at £61,600.
Explaining how it came into their possession, the seller said: "This was made by the BBC's costume supplier for an overseas version of Noel's House Party. Unfortunately, before it could be delivered the overseas show was cancelled and neither the broadcaster or the BBC's production team wanted it - so it sat in my office until a move meant it came home with me some years ago."
Mr Blobby made his on-screen debut alongside presenter Noel Edmonds on Noel's House Party in 1992, becoming the show's runaway star. Fanatics have until Thursday afternoon to make a competitive offer otherwise the current top bidder will find themselves one Mr Blobby costume richer.
