TORONTO, ON and NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 24, 2021 / KABN Systems NA Holdings Corp. / Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CSE:KABN)(OTC Pink:TRWRF)(FRA:4T51) (the "Company") (www.kabnsystemsna.com), a North American fintech solutions company specializing in empowering individuals to manage, control and generate value from their biometrically-verified Self Sovereign Identity ("SSI") through its Liquid Avatar (www.liquidavatar.com) platform, is pleased to announce that the Company has partnered with the iconic toy brand, The Outer Space Men (www.theouterspacemen.com). The Outer Space Men is a toy and collector brand that spans over half a century of celebration as both a vintage and modern collectible assembly of action figures. The OSM were first created when man's greatest achievement was to land on the moon during the infamous Space Race of the 1960's. The Outer Space Men characters will be used for a series of integrated media programs for Liquid Avatar.
The integrated campaign, expected to launch in early spring 2021 will feature a series of limited edition 2D and 3D Liquid Avatar digital icons available in the Liquid Avatar Marketplace (www.liquidavatarmarketplace.com), a full immersive 3D global Augmented Reality scavenger hunt, powered by the Company's partnership with Imagine AR (CSE:IP) and based on approvals, a 3D animated and AR powered, exclusive Non-Fungible ("NFT") Token program for collectors.
The Outer Space Men features beloved and infamous, vintage bendable toy action figure characters that were first created by the world renown toy inventor Mel Birnkrant. With tens of thousands of clamoring fans demanding the return of these archetypal heroic icons, the wildly successful line of toys was brought back to the market in 2008 with the support of childhood fan and Wall Street executive Gary Schaeffer who reintroduced the line of toys in a new affordable format. Since 2010 these new action figures have been played with by millions of children globally. The 21 OSM characters span our solar system, The Milky Way Galaxy and beyond and delight both collectors and children with their incredible back stories and legendary beginnings as extoled by their creator Mr. Birnkrant. These action figures and the rest of the collection of up to 21 different bendable toys, will be transformed into computer graphic (CG) 2D and 3D models ready for a host of digital production programs.
To power these new experiences, the Company has engaged Los Angeles based DreamView, Inc. (www.dreamview.com). DreamView's founders and staff have worked with major brands, studios, and ad agencies around the globe on some of the world's most successful and beloved products, films, and television series, including Apple, Disney, Bleacher Report, Harry Potter, Terminator, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Transformers and Hot Wheels, as well as commercials and other industrial CG, AR, VR and animation projects.
At the direction of Liquid Avatar's Creative Director, Mariano Nicieza and the team, DreamView will be taking The Outer Space Men's 21 core roster and converting them to CG designs ready and compatible for Augmented Reality, Rigging and Animation.
The Company is also working with Apex Comics Group (www.apexcomicsgroup.com) to bring world leading comic book writers, editors and artists together to create multi-media and Augmented Reality Comics powered by a user's Liquid Avatar. A sneak preview will be made virtually on March 26th and 27th at Comic Con International's WonderCon (www.comic-con.org/wca).
"Liquid Avatar is working to make the process of creating, sharing and powering digital identity fun and engaging and the Outer Space Men are a perfect partner for our future-proofing solutions," said David Lucatch, CEO. "With Augmented Reality, CG and 3D Avatars on the roadmap for Liquid Avatar, it makes great sense to start with this iconic brand and adding NFT's which are raging digital collectibles with over $100 Million in sales in the past month, makes starting now even more important to the growth of the Company."
The Liquid Avatar beta app officially launched globally in the Google Play and Apple App Store on February 18, 2021. With the foundation 1st phase already available, the Liquid Avatar app will launch updates in phases, with new features expected monthly. The Company believes that as it plans to provide future features, regular releases will provide users with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with existing features before moving on to more comprehensive services and the opportunity to manage their digital identity and verifiable credentials.
