While NFTs are still looked down upon by many, including those in the cryptocurrency community, developers, artists, and celebrities are still moving forward with forays into the NFT arena. Some recent projects include NFT releases from Todd McFarlane and an official partnership between Azuki and Patrick Mahomes, NFL quarterback!
Who says NFTs are dead? While the world of NFTs is evolving and changing, it is by no means dead. And two NFT ventures from well-known, real-life celebrities help prove that fact!
And it’s not just these two projects. Other recent or upcoming NFT projects include releases from well-known entities such as The Weeknd, Mercedes (the automaker), and Mattel. And those are just a few! And while some of these collections may not be doing very well, the fact that we’re seeing more mainstream entries in the world of NFTs is a good sign for the overall scene.
McFarlane Toys NFTs
McFarlane Toys, founded by Todd McFarlane, was first announced late last year and partnered with Rarible to create a specialized marketplace for official McFarlane NFTs. McFarlane already has over a dozen NFT collections available. Among these are Superman, Blue Beetle, Spawn Gunslinger, Dragons and more. The most recent release, a sale of DC-licensed Batman NFTs designed by Todd McFarlane, sold out in three minutes!

Azuki and Mahomes
For those who don’t know, Patrick Mahomes is an NFL star quarterback who has won two Superbowls and been named MVP both times! His name is instantly recognizable to just about any NFL fan. And Patrick Mahomes has decided to dive right into NFTs. He even set up a ‘Museum of Mahomes’ for his NFTs.
As a prelude to his museum launch, Patrick Mahomes teamed up with Azuki for a special limited edition NFT with artwork designed by the Azuki team. Anyone who owned an Azuki NFT could claim one of these cards. And one lucky winner received a special one-to-one edition, which also gives them a physical version of the card!
The first NFTs from the Museum of Mahomes should appear soon. Follow them on Twitter and sign up for them website to keep up to date with the release.
This is an interesting partnership for both parties. Joining Azuki immediately gains Mahomes a degree of prestige and notoriety among NFT collectors who may not be interested in American Football. And on the other hand, Azuki gains potential fame among millions of football fans who probably don’t know anything about NFTs at all!
