Animoca Brands Japan's
digital acrylic stand "MetaChara" unveiled
Animoca Brands Japan will begin selling new digital merchandise "MetaChara," based on the theme of anime characters, from February 2024. "MetaChara" is a "virtual acrylic stand" that uses anime characters as mini characters and makes use of the unique functions of digital . This new character merchandise will give fans a whole new experience.
Features of "MetaChara"

1. Create your own character with the dress-up function
Unlike traditional acrylic stands, "MetaChara" allows characters to be divided into layers and can be dressed up freely. After purchasing the Base Character Pack, you can freely change the costume, pose, facial expression, etc. by purchasing additional items, and create your own original character. This is a new product experience that makes use of the flexibility unique to digital.
2. Real interaction with characters through the AR function

Like the real acrylic stand, MetaChara uses the AR (Augmented Reality) function to allow users to call up their characters anywhere and take photos that can be shared on social media. You can also enjoy leveling up your characters and unlocking new facial layers.
3. Digital data can be exchanged with an actual acrylic stand

As an innovative point, MetaChara uses the "burn function" to exchange digital data about your characters with an actual acrylic stand. This "burn function" is based on NFT technology and provides a special experience for obtaining a real stand.
