Infinite Connections offers an incredible array of NFTs with the Cosmic Explorer collection. This collection provides a grand total of 2,500 non-fungible tokens that are each paired with artwork based on scientific topics like quantum physics and sonic vibrations. These also come equipped with physical action figures of Captain James T. Kirk, which is surely one of Shatner’s most famed characters.
Timeless Voyager is a grand series of 1,000 NFTs, each containing stunning 2D artworks of future tech and various elements of space. While there are no action figures to accompany these digital works, those with ‘select’ holders will gain access to intriguing real-life opportunities.
Backstage at the conference, Shatner commented on the innovative NFTs created by Orange Comet. “These are some of the most artistic ones I’ve ever seen,” he said in admiration.
William Shatner, known for his iconic role in “Star Trek,” has released a new collection with the help of Orange Comet. This Web3 entertainment company recently attracted $7 million in its funding round and also boasts a collaboration with Scottie Pippen, Sir Anthony Hopkins as well as The Walking Dead.
At the conference, it was revealed how Dave Broome – CEO of the popular chain restaurant, ‘The Orage Comet’ -managed to secure a deal with William Shatner.
“This is a man at 92 who is still inquiring, and still has an ability to learn and embrace technology and understanding what it could do,” Broome said. “What we’re interested in doing is taking someone like iconic legendary William Shatner and all of the millions and millions of fans that he has, and bring them over into web3.”
In this unusual collection, William Shatner is placed in a world of science and technology. His distinct features appear filled with illuminated strings that wrap around each other; in another image, he dons a cutting-edge helmet reminiscent of Halo. Through this fascinating collection, Shatner is immortalized amongst high-tech imagery.
“What we’re trying to do with these images is show the connection — the mathematic, romantic, stars, quantum physics — the connection between it all, and we think buried in those images are those philosophies.”
At a time of flux for NFTs, Shatner has entered the fold with his own release. With previous celebrity drops of NFTs proving to be surprisingly resilient, Donald Trump saw tremendous success with his collection offering up just two versions and selling out within one day. Even more remarkable was the fact that demand remained strong in April when he released a follow-up set, despite prices from his initial drop having significantly decreased.
William Shatner’s immense fan base makes the potential of his latest endeavor clear. Should this venture be successful, it could beget additional crypto-inclined projects from other stars, including those from the Star Trek franchise. Such a result might leave cryptocurrency users jumping for joy.
At 3 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday, the opportunity to own part of William Shatner’s collection was up for grabs at his website: WilliamShatnerNFTs.com. Buyers had the choice to purchase these NFTs with either cryptocurrency or traditional credit-card payments providing the option for all types of collectors.
