They were then transformed into the legendary \u2018Pikabug\u2019 by Pro Body Works, which repainted them Thundershock Yellow\u201d, complete with stripes, eyes, and cheeks, just like its real-life Pokemon counterpart.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-178468\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"1998 Volkswagen Beetle Pikabug Walk-around Video\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mfE9h5bDGIE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"1998 Volkswagen Beetle Pikabug Walk-around Video\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mfE9h5bDGIE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>Each one of these ten vehicles had unique stripes to differentiate them from each other, with this particular example having them painted on the roof down into the door \/ side panels. Mouth, feet and logo decals were also added, along with painted wood tails \/ ears. Apparently, another ten vehicles were made by FAO Schwarz later on for promotional purposes. However, this first-generation model with 170,00 miles on the odometer could be yours for a cool $125,000 USD. Interested?
