The Aliens came with advanced tech.
But that wasn't what they feared losing.
When they crashed, something escaped.
They've been hunting for it ever since.
Memeland Captainz just showed their new art. I sat through the full townhall so you don't have to.
Short version: they're turning 9,999 pirate PFPs into a 60,000-card TCG collection. Every single card is hand-drawn, anime quality. And they're launching on Memeday, June 9.
1/ Six races. Each race gets its own characters.
- Humans have 6 base characters, 3 male and 3 female.
- Kraken, Shark, Kaiju, Alien get 2 each.
- Kong gets 1 male (Sun Wukong inspired, staff and all).
- Every character has 7 variants.
- The total pool is 60,000 unique cards.
2/ Now the mechanism.
Your NFT is now a pack. Today the metadata swapped. If you already revealed your race, you see a race-specific pack. Humans get human cards, Kongs get Kong cards. If you never revealed, you get a mystery pack (black, question mark).
Ripping is free. You pull 1 card from the 60,000 pool. 9 rarity tiers from base (white border, no effects) up to SSR.
3/ SSR is where potions come in.
300 SSRs exist in the entire 60,000 pool. 3 of those are absolute one-of-ones. SSRs are only accessible through potions. No potion, no chance at SSR.
There are 3,700 potions spread across about 120 wallets. You can mix up to 3 potions per draw. Different combos (red+blue, red+blue+clear) give different boost profiles. And starting now, potions become transferable.
A secondary potion market is about to form. If you hold potions, you're holding the only key to the rarest 0.5% of the collection.
4/ Card design
Border-based rarity like sports TCGs. Base cards have white borders with glare effects. Higher tiers get foils, special borders, character art that pops out of the card frame. Pokémon holographics meets anime illustration.
The 1/1s are poster-style pieces. Every character in the Captainz universe on one card. Pokémon-inspired layout. 3 exist in 60,000.
5/ Launch date is almost certainly June 9. Memeday. The team said "we like the number 9" and "busy June." They've updated the website, added a new Story tab with full lore, and the metadata is already live.
I've been holding through the ugly art era. This is the pivot. The art is the best I've seen from any NFT project in 2026. And the TCG layer gives collectors something to actually do with their NFTs beyond hold and hope.
The product is ready. Now it needs the market to pay attention.
