Though not as rare as this custom N64 portable, the leopard print Foxdata Nintendo 64 controller isn’t something you come across very often. Plumber Liam Clousdale discovered this accessory that he received as a birthday gift 25 years ago while doing some cleaning, and it could fetch up to $1,224+ at auction.
This controller, believed to be one of 200 in the world, was first released some time during the late 1990s by Foxdata as part of a range of four different designs: Desert Storm, Chrome Leopard, Red Rain and Purple Forest. Interested? You’ll have to bid on it as part of Hansons Auctioneers’ October 17 Specialist Toys and Video Games Auction. More information here.

The ads for it appeared in the official Nintendo magazine, the N64 Magazine as it was known back then. At that time you picked stuff out of the adverts in the back pages instead of via the internet. The Foxdata N64 was the only console to come with four ports for pads. All my friends used to go to each other’s houses to play and, to avoid confusion, everyone liked to have their own unique pad. The Foxdata ones were amazing to me at the time as they were official pads but with custom paint jobs,” said Liam Clousdale, Owner of Foxdata Nintendo 64 Controller.
