In 48 hours, it surpassed some of the biggest names in the Toy industry including Disney, Transformers, Pokemon, Barbie and Lego.
Pudgy Penguins getting launched on Amazon is a step towards reaching their main goal. Their main aim is to get the top companies or A-listers from the world of music and sports to dwell with them.

The craze of NFT is at another level. Recently, Balmain, a luxury fashion house released unicorn sneakers with an NFT version. In 2021, Pudgy Penguins tweeted, “We aren’t waiting for mass adoption… we’re creating it.”
