So I have been keeping an eye on this project for a while and since there big launch day is today I reached out a few before to try get the low down on the project and its team happily one of the team was happy to chat to me this is what he had to say .
Hey lee how's things ?
Hey, good. You ?

Yes, you are correct. Trying to cross all T's and dot all I's .
Of course its the first officially drop so I am guessing your excited ?
Excited and anxious def just trying to get to the finish line .
Well lets start at the start how did you discover NFTs ?
Sounds great! I discovered NFTs when I saw Elon Musk's wife's work back in March. My twin-brother, Mike and I live in Los Angeles, CA and have a background in TV production and had an idea for an animated tv show about the Stoney Baloney premise, but after learning about NFTs, I thought Stoney Baloney could be a great NFT opportunity.
Why did you choose WAX blockchain for the project ?
I was introduced one of our advisors is Joel Comm, who's behind Blockchain Heroes. He suggested wax as he knew we wanted to build a brand and thought wax is the best platform for trying to drop a card collection
So this is not going to be a small project you want to create a brand ?
Oh yes. We wants this to be the roots of the brand .
How long have you been working on creating this ?
For some time now. Prob 6 month !
Oh wow so what's the project about ?
Stoney Baloney, where Marvel meets marijuana, is a parody NFT collection of superheroes inspired by cannabis strains. Join Master Kush, Purple Haze, and the rest of the Stoney Crew as they battle the evil Dr. Herb, in his quest to conquer the world's supply of cannabis.
Ah so its a super hero vs Evil villain ?
Yo got it!
So tomorrow how many NFTs will be coming out ?
5000 packs. 65000 cards .
How many different NFTs ? As different characters rarities ?
12 different characters, 7 different variants and a bunch of added cards, puzzles, etc Yeah, it kinda snowballed!
Wow that is some collection to launch . What is your favorite one ?
I think the "Alive" variant. It's the variant with each character animated
