Surely, We've Gone Bananas.

RFOX Games is deliriously happy about a new collaboration with the undisputed brand champion of the global banana industry, Big Tricky Banana Bing Bang Boing. We’re showcasing our love of yellow fruit by taking generous sponsorship funds from an organization willing to pay us for branded KOGs. 

You can call us “sellouts” if you want to. Sure, the new artwork is tacky. But you know what they say, “It’s all about the Benjamins and Ho Chi Minhs, baby!” 

Manny Bunch, Degen CEO of the potassium-fueled banana and plantain powerhouse, commented: 

“We’re expanding bananas beyond their physical limitations by hitching our brand to 2021’s NFT Rocketship and making digital bananas for the world to enjoy. When asking ourselves how to best milk our globally infamous name, we carefully examined the NFT space to find the highest ratio of fruit applications. And KOGs was the clear-cut winner! 

"Sure, “Banano” is a thing, but we must own the name ourselves. Overpriced and dubious scientific research indicates that when 171% of the world’s population wants a banana, ours is the first brand that comes to mind. 

"Interoperability isn’t just for video games running on blockchain networks! We want to spread our banana love all over everything. Every day we think, “Hey, um, you know, uh, who truly needs more bananas in their life?” Whether that’s auto manufacturers (banana-mobile, anyone?) or the telecom industry (banana-phone, hello?), it’s bananas over here, it’s bananas over there, Big Tricky Banana Bing Bang Boing’s bananas are everywhere! 

"And today, we’re so excited to put our brand behind the finest NFT the world has ever seen: The Excited Banana!” 

These one-of-a-kind KOGs are the brainchild of Manny himself, who’s  invested wasted almost 10 US dollars of his firm’s   R&D funds in the pursuit of perfection.

The Excited Banana is an Ultra-Rare Slammer that perfectly complements KOGs 2nd Edition. Consisting of 15 NFTs, other Rare, Uncommon, and Common pieces are now simmering on the design stovetop. Work-in-progress artworks include: 

• Banana CHOOB Stake 
• El Banana Borracho 
• Resting B Face Banana 
• Floppy Sloppy Banana 
• Green Grimy Banana 
• Jungle Safari Banana 
• Khoo Khoo Banana 
• Mesh Banana Hammock 
• Old Stanky Banana 
• One Squillion Bananas 
• Party Animal Banana 
• Perfect Yellow Banana 
• Pickled Banana Fish 
• Striped Liger Banana 

Talking about the fresh-picked partnership is Fadzly Yusof, General Manager of RFOX Games had this to say: 

“Partnering with Manny was a natural choice given how both of our industries are practically in the same space. When we first saw the exclusive KOG that was going to be put up for auction, our jaws dropped as we marveled at the technological breakthrough we have accomplished. This exclusive animated Slammer will be up for auction at exactly 12:00 UTC on the 1st of April and will be received by the highest bidder after it closes at 12:00 UTC the next day. The Slammer will be a fully transferable, 1/1 pre-minted NFT that can be used in our games to flex on your opponents with the power of potassium. 

"All proceeds from the auction will go towards our PLAY TO EARN, PLAY TO CARE initiative that allows the community to take part in activities that help those in need around the world. We were inspired by the generosity of some of our community members that reached out to those in need during these hard times. Some have lost more than we can ever know and reaching out to help others is increasingly important to our company culture as our global community grows larger and more diverse. While the rest of the details regarding this campaign are fictitious and made in good fun for April Fool’s Day, we will be releasing the Slammer for auction as stated above. The owner of this esteemed NFT will be given the same access levels as some of the most exclusive KOGs in the upcoming Metaverse."
