Toys created by Gary Vaynerchuk's VeeFriends will be sold for the first time at Macy's and Toys"R"Us. The first day of pre-sale for the exclusive line of collector figures is now.
Before beginning this task, you should read up on the most recent web3 news, such as y00ts's push for the blue chip position and Jim Carrey's excursion into the domain of NFT art.
This marks the transition of VeeFriends' intellectual property from the digital realm into the actual world, making it available to anybody who wishes to own a tangible representation of one of the VeeFriends cast. Part of VeeFriends' strategy to move outside the NFT ecosystem and its current holders is to do so. The toys also have a QR code that, when scanned, opens up a world of 3D animated, feel-good short flicks and character tunes.
Characters in VeeFriends are based on ideas and concepts Vaynerchuk came up with; he designed and animated them himself, giving them qualities he values and thinks will bring them success and pleasure.
These developments follow VeeFriends' $50 million initial fundraising round, which was headed by a16z and closed a few months ago. During the announcement, VeeFriends said that the cash will be used to sustain its intellectual property ecosystem, which now includes 283 VeeFriends characters, and to finance the development of its creative, technological, and experiential activities.
These toys may be purchased for between $9.99 and $29.99. With exclusive availability on macys.com/toysrus.com, the Macy's mobile app, all Toy"R"Us in Macy's stores throughout the country, and on shop.veefriends.com for foreign customers, the collection comprises plush and/or vinyl character sets developed by London-based entertainment firm, Toikido.
Out of the 283 characters available in VeeFriends, Vaynerchuk hand-picked these 10 to represent the initial collection. Practical Peacock, Willful Wizard, Genuine Giraffe, Adventurous Astronaut, Gratitude Gorilla, Patient Panda, Empathy Elephant, Common Sense Cow, Heart Trooper, and Be the Bigger Person each have their own unique backstory for their own traits.
More to me than you could ever know is what it means to have this relationship. Gary Vaynerchuk, VeeFriends' CEO and creator, thinks it's "amazing" that the toys will be sold at both Macy's and Toys"R"Us at the same time. "As a youngster in Edison, New Jersey, I had many happy memories of exploring these businesses' aisles. Like some of the toys I picked up for the first time from the shelves of Toys"R"Us, we chose figures we believe symbolize interesting aspects for first-time collectors. It's a complete circle for me, and a huge step forward for the firm, and I can't wait to see them on shop shelves.
In the period between October 4th and the 18th, NFT holders who own certain characters will be eligible to get a free figurine. In order to provide value to our NFT community, VeeFriends is giving them early access to claiming the collection and guaranteed seating at the in-store events. Andy Kraniak, President of VeeFriends, says this is another method the company hopes to foster relationships with its NFT holders while also revealing its plans for the characters' underlying intellectual property. VeeFriends Series 1 and Series 2 token holders may now redeem their collectibles here.
