Veefriends Set to Hit the High Street With Physical Collectibles

Veefriends, a collection of hastily created cartoon digital collectibles, have entered the physical realm through a line of ‘Toys ‘Us’ branded goods.

The Veefriends initiative by Gary Vaynerchuk earlier this year changed from a kid-like scribbling to an adolescent doodle. The famous NFT collection has since given rise to a number of physical toys, all of which will be released through Macy’s department store under the freshly revived “Toys ‘Us” brand.

Starting on October 17, fans of the series can purchase a soft plushie or hard vinyl figure, each of which features one of the six characters from the Veefriends collection of bizarre animals, people, and other creatures.

These figures cost $24.99 each. Or, for a reasonable $9.99, they can choose from one of the four smaller blind box characters. All can be purchased in-person or online at Macey’s or Veefriends, and pre-order registration is currently open.
