Cryptoys, a startup that creates NFT collectibles, has announced a new collection of digital toys inspired by the Star Wars franchise. The collection features 15 cartoonish characters from the series, including Darth Vader, Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker. The NFTs will be sold on the Flow blockchain and packaged in Star Wars-themed digital “holocrons” in five different rarity levels. The Star Wars NFT collection is set to be released on May 24th, priced at $39.99, which coincides perfectly with the yearly festivity of May the Fourth.
Cryptoys’ parent company, OnChain Studios’ CEO and co-founder, Will Weinraub, expressed excitement about the Star Wars NFT collection launch, revealing that the team of creators had been fans of the franchise since their childhood. Weinraub added that it was a dream come true to add the Star Wars-inspired digital toys to the Cryptoys platform, which offers a rare chance to offer collectible digital toys to Cryptoys’ audience.
VeVe, a platform for digital collectibles that features NFTs from Disney and Marvel properties, has already released several collections of Star Wars-themed digital models, posters, and comic book covers, making the Star Wars NFT collection by Cryptoys not the first of its kind.
Cryptoys’ latest NFT collection offers 15 caricatured renditions of iconic Star Wars characters. These digital toys have been stylized in five different skin designs and come in a range of rarity levels, including Common, Rare, Legendary, Grail, and Ultra Grail. Each pack is a “blind box,” which means buyers will not know which character they will receive until they open it.
Given the growing popularity of NFTs and the established fan base of the Star Wars franchise, it’s likely that the Star Wars NFT collection by Cryptoys will be successful among enthusiasts. This is particularly true for those who have already been collecting Star Wars-themed NFTs on platforms such as VeVe. With the market for NFTs expanding rapidly, it’s likely that more pop culture franchises will jump on the bandwagon and explore the potential of this emerging trend.
