Cryptoys, a non-fungible token (NFT)-focused digital toy company backed by Andreessen Horowitz, has exciting news for collectors and fans alike. The company has officially confirmed the upcoming release of a captivating NFT collection showcasing some of the world’s most beloved animated characters from Disney’s universe, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Pluto.
In a recent announcement, Cryptoys expressed their enthusiasm for the forthcoming drop of their latest digital toys, created in collaboration with Disney. The highly anticipated collection, titled ‘Mickey and Friends,’ is set to debut in September and will feature 15 limited-edition digital toys, each accompanied by unique accessories.
Rarity Structure and Rewards
The collection’s rarity structure will follow a pattern similar to previous releases by Cryptoys, encompassing Common, Rare, Legendary, Grail, and Ultra Grail levels. Notably, collectors who manage to complete their sets will be eligible for exclusive rewards, including the coveted Grail or Ultra Grail Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey toy.
While these special items won’t be available for purchase on the initial drop day, Cryptoys is actively exploring ideas to introduce more rarities to cater to a broader collector base. CEO Will Weinraub emphasized the groundbreaking nature of this collaboration, stating that it offers a fresh perspective on the iconic Mickey Mouse. Priced at $39.99 per piece, these digital toys offer a unique way to engage with beloved characters through the world of NFTs.
From Star Wars to Disney: Cryptoys’ Expanding Universe
This isn’t the first time Cryptoys has delved into beloved franchises. Earlier this year, the company unveiled a collection of NFT-based crypto collectibles featuring popular Star Wars characters. The lineup included limited-edition digital toys of Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia, each accompanied by distinctive gear and set in an immersive galactic environment.
Cryptoys’ commitment to innovation is evident in its dedication to offering new and exciting experiences to collectors. Notably, the company recently expanded its Star Wars collection by introducing Yoda and plans to make additional rarities of Yoda digital toys more widely accessible.
Past Success and Future Ventures
Previously, Cryptoys garnered significant attention and support, raising $23 million in a Series A funding round led by a16z Crypto. Key investors include industry giants like Mattel, Dapper Labs, Draper & Associates, Acrew Capital, CoinFund, Animoca Brands, and Sound Ventures.
As September approaches, anticipation builds for the enchanting ‘Mickey and Friends’ NFT collection. Cryptoys’ partnership with Disney marks yet another milestone in the company’s journey to revolutionize play and collecting through the digital realm.
