These remind me of webkinz. They were stuffed animals that led to a (bad) browser game platform full of micro transactions in the 2000s. My sister and I were into them around your kids age, much to my parent’s dislike. I remember them being placed strategically at the grocery store to attract child height eyes.

Oh, man. That sounds so mean (to the parents).

So... what does the QR code actually do? All the rugpull projects (which is to say all the projects) mentioned in Folding Ideas' Line Goes Up had *extremely* half-baked, barebones, or nonexistent digital components where, at best, you'd look at your NFT jpg on a web browser. This one made it to the point where they manufactured a physical product, so it's got that going for it, but I have a hard time believing there's anything meaningful to do in their online experience.

You get "traits" for a penguin. It seems mostly a setup for the future.
