The Sandbox has announced the launch of Care Bears Avatars that can be used to play games and earn SAND tokens. The sale of Care Bears NFTs will start on November 15, 2022, for normal users and 24 hours prior for whitelisted users. The collaboration between The Sandbox and Care Bears started in 2020. Since then, The Sandbox players and experience makers can explore and use themed in-game assets in their game worlds.

What is Care Bears?

Care Bears was a popular franchise of the 90s that included video games, books, toys, and classic animated TV series. Cloudco Entertainment, the global distributor of Care Bears, partnered with The Sandbox in 2020 to bring the favorite animated characters to The Sandbox metaverse. Cloudco also received large digital LANDS on The Sandbox for Care-a-Lot kingdom exclusively for Care Bears fans. 

The Sandbox also has the right to produce and distribute Care Bears-inspired digital in-game assets created by game developers. This year, a game jam was held for the same in which players created assets related to Care Bears and won $SAND tokens as rewards. In addition, players can explore the Care-a lot world inside The Sandbox and use their Avatars to meet, chat and interact with other players, visit attractions and buildings and play mini-games.
