The Bears

We’ve created enough distinct features to ensure that each bear is unique with varying levels of rarity.

There will be male and female bears, grizzly bears, black bears, polar bears, and different skin tones. Some have baseball caps, some have gray hair, and some have ponytails.

There are bears with baggy eyes, shooting glasses, laser eyes, and eyeliner. There are bears sporting tank tops, flannels, and tattoos. The list goes on.

Then we arm the bears. There are bears carrying AR-15s, AK-47s, Glock 9mms, hunting rifles, revolvers, shotguns, flintlocks, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Armed Bears?

Most of today’s animal-themed NFT project just don’t make sense. Why a random panda or penguin collection?

Armed bears make sense! They signify support for the right to arm bears.

Who is this project for?

Unlike many other NFT projects that just throw up 10,000 digital images as art, Armed Bears' audience is very targeted. They are a reflection of an existing community - firearm enthusiasts.

There are millions of gun owners and countless gun collectors. These people look for ways that reflect their passion. Armed Bears fill that purpose in the burgeoning NFT and Web 3.0 space. NFT collectors and shooters alike can benefit from joining the project early.

How much will the bears cost?

Armed Bears will launch with an initial mint of 0.0223 ETH. This is “caliber pricing,” meaning the bears will be priced in one of the most popular shooting calibers of all - the .223 round.

All Armed Bears will be minted and sold on our website and then loaded to OpenSea for the secondary market.
