But then their NFTs revealed...
And they looked nothing like what the team marketed 💀
It was horrible 😂
One person minted a Pixelmon NFT and got literally nothing 🤦
2. Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones is a popular TV show watched by millions of people.
So it was no surprise their NFTs sold out within the first day.

But there was a problem...
It turns out she stole the art 🤦♂️😂
She even copied the Minecraft slime ball 💀
Her response was that she copied the art because she liked the way it looked 🤦
4. Hape Prime
Hape was one of the most hyped NFT mints of all time.
Their floor price hit ~$30k pre-reveal 🤯

6. Elementals
Elementals was created by Azuki.
And it's some of the best art in web3.
So what's the problem?

So what's the problem?
Well they look exactly like Azuki's original collection 😂
This decreases the demand for Azuki.
Why spend $15k on an Azuki when you can spend $2k on an Elemental and get basically the same art.
