Haters will say this is not a net positive for the space. I have a different take. We greeted hundreds of thousands of Pudgy Penguins fans at Comic Con all in love with the IP. The line for purchasing was long the entire con. Meaning we were making revenue while also not extracting from holders… all while introducing a ton of new people to penguins directly held by our community. The joy people got when getting toys featuring holder IP was a full circle moment for me. Kids wanted to collect them all. In 2021 as a holder if you would’ve told me one day we’d see penguins have one of the longest lines at SDCC with a fandom that is worldwide, I would’ve loaded the truck up with more. The market is going to do what the market does, and the haters are always going to hate. We’ve proven them wrong multiple times in the past, and we’ll do it again. Pudgy Penguins is the face of something very special. We are creating lifelong fans of an IP that will stand the test of time. Our bubble is small. The haters brains are smaller. Think bigger. Much much bigger. 🐧❤️

Almost everyone we’ve talked to is familiar with the brand and loves the penguins. For the ones who don’t know about us, they’re all leaving our booth with the biggest smile ever and a bag of Pudgy loot. Building the worlds most loved penguin right in front of your eyes. Do you feel it? 🐧

Another cool feature to the Wall of Penguins? This is a must follow list for new members coming into the community. Every penguin is clickable. You can read a short bio and go to their X and hit follow.
