Phygitals proudly celebrates the incredible success of our first digital collectible - the Goons: Launch Edition. This groundbreaking release not only marked our entry into the world of phygital collectibles but also set a new standard for digital and physical collectible integration.
The Goons collection, a collaboration between Phygitals and the renowned Goons Club, consisted of 5,000 units, blending physical figurines with unique digital NFTs. However, it was the Launch Edition, limited to just 500 units, that truly captured the imagination of collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The Launch Edition distinguished itself with its striking black and white color scheme and an array of both original and new traits. Each 8-inch premium figurine came with a second claimable golden figurine, claimed via an NFC chip embedded in the figurine's hat.
Retailing at $90, the Launch Edition sold out instantly, a testament to its desirability and the strength of our community. Interestingly, 80% of our members chose to keep their collectible on-chain, leveraging the digital aspect for trading and selling, while only 1 in 5 opted to claim the physical version. This trend underscores the growing preference for digital assets in the collectible space.
The Launch Edition saw tens of thousands in trading volume on secondary marketplaces like OpenSea, further validating the demand and value of phygital collectibles. This phenomenal response has not only solidified our presence in the market but also set the stage for future releases.
As we pause our drops to focus on launching our comprehensive phygital marketplace, the success of the Goons: Launch Edition serves as a guiding beacon. Our upcoming platform promises to offer an even more seamless and immersive experience for collectors globally.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our community for making the Goons: Launch Edition a landmark success. Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of phygital collectibles.
