Spanish contemporary artist Edgar Plans recently announced the release of three new collectibles crossing the over from the digital NFT space to the real world. Dubbed Lil' Heroes Art Toys, the gold, silver and white editions of the collectible became available on April 4, 2023 for a limited time only.

Daniel Eilemberg, CEO of Lil’ Heroes, noted:

With this drop, we're giving fans the opportunity to own a unique, limited-edition art toy by Edgar that is not only stunning, but also fun, customizable and accessible.

Inspired by the Lil' Heroes and Lil' Villains NFT collections, the new toys give fans the chance to own a limited-edition collectible from a well-known Spanish artist. 

Limited availability

Each Lil' Heroes collectible arrives in its own paint pot and comes complete with a brush marker for owners to design their own character. The figure is also 100% washable.

The different editions of the collectible figures are distributed as follows:

1. The gold edition is limited to 500 units and is only available to Lil’ Heroes and Lil’ Villains NFT holders who are enrolled in the project’s ‘Training Camp.’
2. The silver edition is limited to 1,500 units and available to Lil' Heroes and Lil' Villains NFT holders.
3. The white edition is available to everyone. 

"As we build Lil’ Heroes by Edgar Plans into a global media, entertainment and consumer products brand, we’re always looking for ways to delight our fans and reward our early supporters,” added Eilemberg.
