Who are the Soldiers?

Soldiers are a limited edition battalion of 9999 NFT characters that collectively make up the Solarmy.

Solarmy website: https://solarmy.io/

They come in two different styles: 2D (4999 unique) 3D (4999 unique) 1 ultra unique…

Why 2D annd 3D?

We’ve decided to release both 2D and 3D Soldiers simultaneously because of how it will help develop the Solarmy further after the drop. Our 2D Soldiers will move towards future comic books and card games, while 3D Soldiers will eventually be animated (emote drops coming in the future) and metaverse compatible.

How are Soldiers made?

Each soldier is made of many parts, including:

A head — All heads will have different rarities and features

Arms — With different gestures or weapons

Legs — Different feet, different kicks

Accessories — Weapons, hats, helmets, chains…

A background — These will vary by gradient, with rare exclusive environments Parts are assembled together, just like a toy soldier (GIJONE style).

Rarity of Soldiers

There are 4 levels of rarity to all parts of a soldier: Universal = most common (30% of all soldiers) Rare = 20% 1st Class = 5% Transcendental = 1%

Why Full Scale?

We have decided to use full scale soldiers (And not the standard portrait style NFT’s) for various reasons:

We are following an action figure style build on our soldiers, this means we want to have interchangeable parts for all the body parts (Think barbie).

We want to do something different to what has already been done many times over. And of course, we understand the PFP importance so a PFP will be included in the drop package.

Our soldiers need to exist in the metaverse, this requires both a full body and a 3D body. Accessories and weapons are important, you need hands to hold weapons and you need killer kicks to march into war.

Charity

We agree to donate 5% of proceeds from the drop towards appropriate charities, specifically those that help veterans.

We have already identified two charities that support veterans

The Drop

Everyone who participates in the drop will received a randomised 2D or 3D soldier. The package will include either a full scale image of your 3D soldier or a full scale image of your 2D soldier. You will not be able to choose 3D or 2D, for example: You may receive a 2D Mickey Nullrank or a 3D Space Mantis. We love the mystery in this and we believe it will be a catalyst for the secondary market.

We will be dropping 9999 soldiers, 4999 2D, 4999 3D and 1 ultra unique soldier. Mint Price: 2–3 SOL (TBC closer to drop)
