On April 11th, 2024, in Boston, United States, Chainwire announced an exciting collaboration between Planet Mojo, a leading web3 gaming ecosystem, and WowWee, a globally recognized toy company. This partnership will bring together the virtual and physical worlds by creating toys and products based on Planet Mojo’s IP, characters, and lore.
Planet Mojo is a story-driven game that explores the clash between nature and technology on a mysterious planet. The game’s evolving narrative is told through visually stunning clan “Champions” and “Mojos,” plant-based creatures that protect the planet. The game also includes Digital Collectibles (NFTs) that players can collect and connect with real-world toys through a QR code.
Mystic Moose, led by founder Mike Levine, has been at the forefront of the physical-digital revolution for over two decades, creating award-winning products for top toy companies. This collaboration builds on their previous success with UNTAMED/Battle ARena, which won the prestigious KAPI Award for Best Mixed Reality Toy in 2019.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Mike and Mystic Moose again,” said Andrew Yanofsky, Head of Marketing and Operations at WowWee. “Planet Mojo is an exciting IP with endless possibilities for toys and beyond. WowWee and Mike’s team are known for innovation, and we can’t wait to bring our early concepts to life.”
This partnership marks a significant step forward for web3 gaming by blurring the lines between the digital, blockchain, and physical worlds. Toys will come with a QR code that allows owners to mint them into Digital Collectibles, creating even deeper connections with the Planet Mojo universe.
“We’re incredibly excited to partner with one of the industry’s top toy makers, WowWee,” said Mike Levine, CEO & Founder of Planet Mojo. “This collaboration showcases our commitment to innovation, community engagement, and expanding the reach of the Planet Mojo universe. We can’t wait for our players and fans to experience all that we have in store.”
Players are encouraged to follow Planet Mojo’s Twitter and Discord for future updates.
