The Superhero Webtoon Original, created by Robert Feldman, Cyko KO will now be an animated pilot released using NFTs from Theta Labs’ ThetaDrop. And the main cast of the cult classic film Napoleon Dynamite is reuniting to voice the characters in the comic book.
Jon Heder, Tina Majorino, Efren Ramirez, and Jon Gries have all agreed to voice characters in Cyko KO, a 12-minute pilot that will premiere on Web3 streaming service Replay’s Rewarded.tv. Heder, who played Napoleon Dynamite in the film, will play the main character.
Theta Labs’ ThetaDrop will fund, produce, and distribute the project. This new venture expands the capabilities of Replay’s decentralized video platform by using NFTs to unlock the show as well as other film titles and series.
Viewers of Rewarded.tv titles will earn replay’s native RPLAY tokens through a proprietary watch-to-earn ecosystem. So, the Cyko KO NFTs will allow users to receive Rewards Multipliers, increasing their RPLAY rewards earnings. The Cyko KO Star Cards NFT will be released on September 30th at 12 pm PT.

Feldman’s Earworm Media will run the show. “The dream has always been to bring Cyko KO to the world of animation, and to do so through bleeding edge technology” he said.
Rocketship Entertainment is co-producing with Replay and Verified Labs, a Web3 production studio founded by Heder.
“With our first NFT drop, we’re defining the production cycle for web3 projects, decentralizing every aspect of the creative process from funding to distribution” said Krish Arvapally, Founder & CEO at Replay.
The two Cyko Goes Hollywood! packs, the Producer Pack and the Saturday Morning Pack, each contain three Cyko KO TV Star Cards. These are exclusive tickets for accessing, watching, and earning through Replay’s Rewarded.tv.
The holders will have access to all Cyko KO Season 1 episodes. The Producer Pack will include a separate PINK Bubble Gum NFT, airdrops, and other perks such as a future meet and greet with the cast, signed cards, and even a lottery to be cast in the show. Physical redeemable NFT is also included.
