Based on the most popular My Little Pony characters, Funko and Hasbro are dropping My Little Pony NFTs in the from of 360,000 Digital Pop!s. These non-fungible tokens provide a new way for kids to collect their favorite characters, including Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Princess Luna.
The collection is set to be released soon on Funko’s NFT platform Droppp.io and these beloved characters are stylized like Funko characters. These collectibles can be purchased by the pack and each one contains a random assortment of My Little Pony x Funko Digital Pop!s.
