  • The company is releasing 10 million packs of cards in 20,000 retail outlets worldwide, including Walmart, Target and Walgreens in the U.S., according to a press release.
  • Each pack of cards has its own QR code that comes with “digital trading cards, tokens, NFTs or a digital version of their physical collectible” that can be instantly redeemed.
  • L.O.L. Surprise! has done over $25 billion in retail sales for privately held MGA, according to a press release.
  • MGA is tapping Polygon’s layer 2 blockchain to host the NFT collection.
  • “Polygon is delighted to be supporting the fastest-growing global toy doll brand, L.O.L. Surprise!, as they move these beloved toys on-chain with the help of Ioconic,” Polygon said in a press release. “L.O.L. Surprise!
