Pudgy Penguins’ toy line has expanded its market presence. Its cute penguin plushies are now available at Target, alongside Walmart, and international retailers like Smyths, Hot Topic, Toys R Us, Macy’s, and various amusement parks.
These popular digitized characters captivate crypto-enthusiasts by seamlessly integrating NFT-linked merchandise into mainstream retail.
Today, Luca Schnetzler, Pudgy Penguins’ CEO, announced on X that over one million toys have been sold over the past year. “Who would’ve thought that the Consumer Crypto revolution was going to be led by fat, flightless birds?” he remarked.
Connecting Digital and Real-Life Experiences
What sets Pudgy Toys apart is featuring community-favorite penguin designs that are fully licensed through OverpassIP, the project’s NFT licensing platform.
Each toy comes with a unique birth certificate, complete with a QR code that introduces buyers to Pudgy World, enhancing the bridge from physical purchase to digital engagement.
The brand’s inventive business model directly rewards NFT holders, bestowing upon them a 5% royalty from the net revenues generated by the toy sales, offering a pioneering incentive structure.
Following challenges with its original founder, Pudgy Penguins has thrived under Schnetzler’s leadership after a significant $2.5 million acquisition last year, bolstered by strong community support and resilience.

According to CoinGecko, the base price for a Pudgy Penguin NFT has risen to $36,900 (12.40 ETH), marking a 9.5% increase over the past 24 hours following its expansion into Target stores.
Pudgy Penguins merges NFT excitement with real-world products, highlighting web3’s potential for broad adoption. As it continues to broaden its influence, it’s becoming a leading example of the growing ‘Consumer Crypto’ buzz.
