The Star Wars characters featured in the Cryptoys NFT toy collection are Grogu, Din Djarin, Bo-Katan Kryze and Boba Fett.
The Star Wars NFTs will offer the Cryptoys distinct unboxing and unwrapping feature and will be fully-interactable to allow owners to play with the 3D toys across a variety of digital experiences.

Vaulted Cryptoys may be offered for primary sale to collectors in the future.
