Pokémon Releases $10,000 Solid-Gold Gholdengo for 30th Anniversary
SGC Corporation and The Pokémon Company have unveiled a 24-karat yellow gold Gholdengo figurine to mark the franchise's 30th anniversary. The collectible, which stands approximately six centimeters tall and weighs roughly 15 grams, is priced at 1.54 million yen, or about US$9,775. This exclusive item is being showcased at the Yokohama Great Gold Exhibition, held at Yokohama Takashimaya from September 30 through October 5.
The expo also features life-sized statues of Gholdengo and Pikachu constructed from gold leaf. The larger Gholdengo figure utilizes approximately 730 sheets of gold leaf, while the smaller Pikachu statue incorporates around 200 sheets. These displays highlight the intersection of traditional artisanal craftsmanship and modern pop culture iconography during the anniversary celebrations.
Siliconera reported on October 1 that a Pokemon Wordle fan game would be removed on October 3.
