The NFT fever is further entrenched in pop culture...
If you have seen the recent news you will notice that the word NFT is everywhere, and that even big names in the industry have decided to join this great crypto trend as well as renowned artists such as Gorillaz, Kings of Leon, Ozuna and DJ 3LAU, you will also hear that NfT are making good money as they are breaking records in sales as for example, the digital art of beeple Everydays: the first 5000 days which sold for almost $70 million. All this sudden and thunderous success has led to more and more people deciding to tokenize their work and join the digital movement.
A new member of this crypto-movement is the new integration of Funko Pop Dolls, as Funko's CEO mentioned: "Our incredible licensing partners are excited about our entry into this new digital space and we believe the diversity of our licensing portfolio sets us up for long-term success. With this move, the company intends to open a gateway to the NFT market for its partners. The company intends to capitalize on the wave of interest in NFTs for its diverse range of products based on characters from TV, movies, sports, music and more.
And the platform designed to bring this great project to life has been Worldwide Asset eXchange (WAX). And the plan to offer NfT Funko will begin in just 2 months more specifically in the month of June, but so far the exact date is unknown. Now the release and price has been revealed and they have said that it will be weekly through WAX, at a price of $9.99. And with this decision we can see the step that hundreds of companies are taking for a massive adoption, because just as Funko expands its product platform to include NFT to its offerings, it may be that companies like Matel that also have a large part of the market decide to launch NFT collection.
Personally I think that this integration of the funko company to the cryptomundo will give an even greater boost than they already have, because if you look at the sales charts of this company you will see that year after year they have a huge success, and the reason behind it all is that they do what people like, as they create dolls that represent a famous character of television, film, music, politics or other idol, in short for every aspect of life there is a funko pop that you can buy.
in fact something curious about this announcement is that the funko pop market is already handling the NFT concept, since they have super rare funko that are worth a lot, for example:
Funko Jaime Lannister (Bloody) $9,310
Dumbo (Clown) $7,430
Stranger Things: Golden Hopper $.3,000
Among others that are worth more than $10K, so this decision will only give a bigger boost to the funko pop collectors market, but you, what do you think of the NfT funko?
I think this NFT is now the talk of the town. Let's hope to see how far it goes and how sustainance it has
