(1/11)

With $9 million raised and more than $10 million in their treasury, it seems like Pudgy is looking to make a big splash in Hollywood.

Perhaps a movie deal is on the horizon?


(2/11)

Maybe we'll see a Pudgy character make an appearance in a major film franchise, like in the Wreck-It Ralph movies or some Toy Story-like movie.

Before i said product placement, but with this amount of influence and funding, could happen! 🎬

It's speculation for now

Pudgy OGs know that something big is coming in just one day and 17 hours. @pudgypenguins

The anticipation is palpable. just crazy within the community

Luca said it many times in spaces, that this summer will be bigger than last year summer.

What could Pudgy do with their $10 million treasury?

make more toys? retail needs a lot of inventory and cash, shelf space...

Some possibilities include hiring more staff for more outreach? sweep the floor? pump FP? ✨

What do you think?
(5/11)

As I mentioned before, with new toys, major retailers will start selling Pudgy merchandise. (1000 locations?)

Similar to, Gary Vee's friends at Toys R Us and Cool Cats with Macy's. I believe that it will take Pudgy Penguins to even greater heights! 🐧🚀

The thing that gets me most excited is this here.

The roller coaster.

Could Pudgy be planning a big exhibition featuring their toys and penguins? with a major theme park?

like Ocean Park Hong Kong Penguins? Pudgys are expanding rapidly in Asia! 🇭🇰

(7/11)

With some of their merchandise already soft-launched in Australia, it makes me wonder if Pudgy Penguins has something in store for the penguins on Phillip Island as well. 🤔🐧

Whether it's a collaboration or a charitable initiative, I'm excited!

It's worth noting that many of the VCs who participated in Pudgy's seed round have also invested in other successful NFT, such as OFR, which recently acquired 0n1force.

Is this a strategic move to share resources and help grow the overall NFT market? Time to beat Yuga?

(9/11)

Just as Adidas invested in Yuga and can go into the 'Otherside', I believe that Pudgy Penguins now be able to leverage the shared resources of its VC investors.

Who knows, perhaps a future memecoin offering? to rival Apecoin? 🤝🐧
