In an exciting milestone, Pudgy Penguins, a top-performing NFT collection, has announced the sale of over one million plush toys through various retailers. This achievement was shared in a video on X, where CEO Luca Netz, a 10th-grade dropout, revealed the impressive sales figures, highlighting the project's rapid growth.

Netz expressed his pride in the success, stating, "From a unit basis, that's my biggest consumer product success ever." He also teased upcoming partnerships with prominent retailers like Walmart, Target, Hot Topic, and specialty stores in Asia and worldwide. This expansion is a testament to the project's popularity and its ability to resonate with a broader audience.

In comparison to other NFT projects, Netz emphasized the significance of Pudgy Penguins' tangible success, saying, "This is happening now, in real time; the little guy was able to put this stuff in some of the world's biggest retailers." The enthusiasm surrounding the plush line and the upcoming metaverse launch has driven the project's growth, even briefly surpassing the Bored Ape Yacht Club in floor price earlier this year.

As Pudgy Penguins continues to soar, the team is set to launch the PudgyWorld alpha on the zkSync Era blockchain, further expanding its reach and solidifying its position in the NFT space.
