What are Lost Toys❓
Lost Toys is an NFT umbrella brand that encompasses a diverse array of digital collections, such as the Crankies. Born out of a deep appreciation for the fond memories and treasured toys of our childhoods, they were created to breathe new life into these forgotten relics of time. Each collectible is meticulously crafted, representing the nostalgic and whimsical nature of the past.
The team embarked on their journey in May 2022, unveiling their inaugural NFT collection, the Looneycorns. Building on this success, they quickly expanded to their second collection, the Meanies, in September 2022. Now, they are preparing to launch their highly anticipated upcoming collection, the Crankies, on OnePlanet!

Moreover, they have stated that their mission extends beyond the digital world. The team firmly believes that every child deserves to create cherished memories with their toys. Thus, alongside reimagining their own childhoods in the world of NFTs, part of their mission includes supporting underprivileged children by donating toys, embodying the heart and soul of the brand.
History of Lost Toys 📖
As mentioned, Looneycorns were their first ever NFT release. Consisting of 2,200 unique NFTs minted on the Cronos chain, each Looneycorn was carefully auto-generated with its own distinct rarity. These one-of-a-kind NFTs rapidly found their place in the secondary market on Ebisu’s Bay, with the entire collection selling out in record time.
The torch was then passed to their second collection, the Meanies, launched in September 2022 on Ebisu’s Bay. They were completely conceptualized by the dedicated community through their DAO, with the NFTs reflecting the collective imagination of their members, from character selection to naming and defining traits.
Lost Toys also offers their premier collection known as Lost Toy VIPs. Owning a Lost Toy VIP NFT provides exclusive access to the Lost Toys DAO, enabling you to participate in voting for future characters within the collection and influencing the upcoming features of our SnipeHub platform. Additional benefits include exclusive raffles, and whitelist access to other projects.
The upcoming launch of Crankies on OnePlanet will mark their first collection on the Polygon chain. Similar to the creation of Meanies, their community played a crucial role in shaping the Crankies through their DAO, determining the character, name, and traits. This collection will consist of 3,750 NFTs.
As we can see above, Lost Toys has consistently remained committed to nurturing a collaborative and imaginative space where there is a high level of community involvement. This approach helps individuals reminisce about the past while incorporating their favorite traits.
What can you do with the upcoming Lost Toys NFTs? 🎨
As holders of Lost Toys NFTs, you can gain access to a diverse range of exciting benefits organized into six key elements as shown below, with the promise of more utilities being added in the future.
In addition to having their own dedicated alpha community group, the perks include the ability to stake NFTs and earn ‘Buttons’ through Lost Toys’ carnival marketplace. These Buttons can be exchanged for NFTs on Ethereum, Polygon, Cronos, or utilized to enter raffles for high-value NFTs. The staking rewards program presents NFT holders with the opportunity to expand their collections and participate in exclusive events.
Another notable utility is that holders can gain access to SnipeHub.io, a premier utility service designed to assist in managing and optimising NFT portfolios. Lost Toys’ holders can leverage SnipeHub’s analytics to navigate the market, identify lucrative opportunities, and stay informed with smart charts and alerts.
Additionally, VIP NFT holders of Lost Toys can receive royalties from various sources, including future mints and secondary sales. They also possess voting rights within the DAO, enabling them to participate in crucial project decisions, such as the selection of future toy characters.
Furthermore, Lost Toys is committed to continuously expanding its range of utilities and enhancing user experiences. The team is currently developing plans for a SaaS subscription model, advertising initiatives, and API integrations. These efforts aim to drive project revenue and further elevate the value of Lost Toys NFTs.
