NBCUniversal, Ready Player Me Launch Classic Monsters NFTs

The firms partnered with OpenSea and VARIANT3D to boost limited-edition virtual clothing

On Monday, NBCUniversal collaborated with Ready Player Me to bring the movie studio’s Classic Monsters lineup ‘back from the dead’ as NFTs.
The digital collection features world-famous monsters such as Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein, Creature from Black Lagoon, The Mummy and Frankenstein.
NBCU is teaming with VARIANT3D to sell phygital garments based on classic IPs. VARIANT3D creates digital twins of its real-world items based on digital twin technology, stitching near field communication (NFC) chips with each limited edition clothing item.
The new feature allows users to share a copy of their NFTs as a Proof of Attendance (POAP) with others to award points to physical product owners for monitoring on a leaderboard.
All transactions are conducted on the Polygon blockchain, one of the world’s most energy-efficient blockchains to date, with just 0.037 grammes of CO2 production for each transaction, or less than a single email.
Additionally, NBCU and VARIENT3D’s limited-edition clothes come with a minted NFT of a chosen character, collectable patches, an augmented reality (AR) try-on lens for Snapchat, and a wearable digital twin of their item for Metaverse platforms powered by Ready Player Me.
