Blue-chip NFT Project Pudgy Penguins has announced the release of Pudgy Toys and the launch of Pudgy World.

Earlier this month, Pudgy Penguins raised $9 million in a seed round led by 1kx. Known as an NFT project, the brand aims to become a global franchise by expanding its IP. The newly-introduced initiatives a just the beginning of the company’s strategy. 

On May 18, Pudgy Penguins announced the launch of community-licensed, first-edition physical Pudgy Toys. It includes huggable plushes, figures, clip-on plushes, and igloo collectibles. Individuals can pre-order the items on Amazon. 

According to the official announcement, Pudgy Toys is the first mass-market product licensed directly from the community.

“Pudgy World” makes part of the toy experience. When entering the virtual space, players can mint their penguins and choose traits, moves, and accessories. Notably, owners of physical toys can unlock unique traits by scanning the code on their toys’ “birth certificates.” Like with other gamified NFT projects, traits can be bought and sold; users can do so on the traits marketplace powered by Origin Protocol. 

The interactive “world” currently features an arcade, which includes a chess battle and two other now-locked games. At the moment of writing, the rest of the map is also locked.

In September 2022, Pudgy Penguins partnered with the 25-year-old toy company PMI Toys to develop the first extensive toy line of Pudgy Penguins collectibles. Notably, the brand’s fans will soon be able to find the plushes at Retail Monster and PMI Toy. The company will share more details in the coming months.
