Funko x Paramount collaboration hypes fans
A NFT collection based on two renowned anime series will be made available thanks to a collaboration between Funko Pop and Paramount Studios.
Moreover, this collaboration stands out since these NFTs are digital photos of Funko Pop figurines rather than 2D anime characters.
The Collaboration
The Last Airbender is one of the most well-known animes even though it was first released 17 years ago. Both adults and kids love this television series. Avatar, for instance, shot to the top of the charts in the US once it was made available on Netflix.
By capitalizing on the success of the anime, the two media conglomerates aimed to rekindle nostalgia among all age groups. This partnership enables retro animation to enter the web3 industry through the NFT cards.
Funko and Paramount Studios made the announcement on June 29th, 2021, about their collaboration for the introduction of non-fungible tokens based on The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.
Important Details
Avatar Legend NFTs, which will debut on August 9 at 11 AM Pacific Time, feature figures from both animated series, including Zuko, Azula, Katara, and Sokka. The Avatar Legends x Funko Series 1 Digital Pop! is the official name for this collaboration.
The said digital cards would be sold on the Droppp website.
This NFT market is only for collectibles related to pop culture and is safe and easy to use. Since the web3 store runs on it, the Series 1 Digital Pop NFTs will function on the carbon-free WAX blockchain.
Total NFTs produced by the collaboration will total 625000. The virtual cards will include the Avatar characters’ Funko bobbleheads, as was already mentioned. Two main packs — a standard pack and a premium pack — will be available when the series debuts.
The possibility of obtaining the actual bobblehead figure makes this announcement even more exciting, based on the news.
“Each pack of Digital Pops provides the chance for you to reveal one of the unique Funko Digital Pops! Upon opening, which may then be exchanged for a no-cost, limited-edition physical vinyl collectible.
The cost of the latter will be $29.99 compared to the standard pack’s approximately $9.99 per package.
For ardent Avatar merchandise collectors who are also interested in breaking into the NFT market, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire both physical and digital collectibles with the purchase of just one Digital Pop NFT.
It should be noted that these physical bobbleheads of Avatar characters won’t be sold in Funko Pop shops. Instead, the NFT packs are the only way to obtain this wave.
