Funko is Giving Transformers Themed NFT Trading Cards Another Go

These were successful enough last time to warrant a second go? That's unfortunate.

Hm? NFT non-existent Funkos? Oh - yeah, yeah I'll.... get right on that.

Uhm, I thought this was Funko, not the Powerball.

They will keep pushing that NFT garbage as long as people are willing to buy them.
Meh, business as usual.

Business people are simply people who have identified a niche and provided a service for it. In this case, they've identified the super-hipster niche who like digital things and don't have any brain power and believe that something with no physical form will not appreciate in value.

If the Eskimo is willing to buy ice, sell it to them.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gross stuff, come on guys.

This.

I found two more at a F.Y.E. store in the local mall. That would be Arcee and Scourge. As you can see from the photos Arcee does include a stand. I wasn't sure if it was connected like the stand for Rhinox. Again, for their sizes, they have a lot of detail.

So, I found the Big 3 at Gamestop, as well as an exclusive I somehow completely missed.

Wild title, I know. But did you know that the only Funko Pop from Beast Wars so far was Cheetor and that the only way to get him was by redeeming a token that could only be purchased with crypto currency? This is not a joke, Cheetor was part of Funko's NFT release where buying Funko NFTs would give you a chance to get a token that could be redeemed for a physical item. And these tokens could be purchased (and sold) through the droppp.io marketplace where it could only be purchased with crypto currency. And some hardcore fans did all that.

But you (probably) won't need to since the Funko line is now expanding to Beast Wars in 2025. The news comes from Skittlerampage who pulled from various Twitter account. The rumours are that next year we will get BW Megatron, Optimus Primal, Rhinox and Blackarachnia. That does mean that Cheetor remains a crypto exclusive for now.

In other funko Transformers news, we did get an image of an upcoming Soundwave Funko Pop which has a helmet which you can open up to reveal one of his cassette bots controlling him, men in black style.
