Wondering how this is possible? The purchase of these new cuddly friends is complemented by a digital experience in Pudgy World, enjoyed by every toy owner in the form of games, socializing, exploration, and, of course, pure delight!
It's straightforward: scan the tag on the physical toy and embark on a journey into the Pudgy universe. In online games, each character plays its own unique role. The physical prototype comes with a fully-fledged document - a birth certificate, which is far from being a mere promotional leaflet. This paper birth certificate is the key to unlock a box of traits for the character in Pudgy's virtual world.
“Today is the beginning of a new era for Web3.
We’re happy to announce that Pudgy Toys and Pudgy World are now available.
Included in each toy is a birth certificate that unlocks a unique trait box from season 1 of Pudgy World.
Each trait box holds common to epic traits. You can equip those traits onto your Forever Pudgy Penguin, buy and sell those traits, and play mini games with your friends!” – the creators of Pudgy Penguins explain.

The "Combi"-NFTs created a stir with their emergence in the physical world. Pudgy Penguin sales reigned on Amazon for several hours – approximately 20,000 units of this collection were sold. The penguins outpaced sales of such well-established brands as Pokemon or Barbie.
The success of the Pudgy Penguins collection proves that the bleak predictions for the future NFT market may not be entirely accurate. By developing a groundbreaking ecosystem for gaming and creativity, bridging the online and offline worlds, the brains behind this venture were able to reap substantial rewards.
