Hot Topic Is Apparently Still Around, and They Want to Help Web3 Animations
You remember Mila Kunis, right? She voiced Meg on Family Guy and had a starring role in Black Swan. She’s married to Ashton Kutcher. Oh yeah, well what’s she up to now? Apparently its got something to do with crypto, and Kunis is dragging a real fossil from the late 90s and early 2000s to help her out. Toonstar, a “Web3 animation studio” announced in March they were working with Kunis’ company Sixth Wall to launch an NFT series called The Gimmicks. Not interested? Damn. What if I told you they were bringing in Hot Topic to help them out?
CoinDesk reported the studio was working with Hot Topic to create NFTs and Web3 experiences for both companies products. Apparently, the plan is to get together with brand ambassadors called “HT Fanatics” as a new kind of bridge between retail and entertainment. Did any of that make any sense to you? Well, all you need to know is Toonstar’s going to help Hot Topic make in-store NFT sales as well as create NFT merch. Hot Topic will also start carrying Gimmicks merch in store. Does any of this make you want to step into another Hot Topic ever again?
