The NFT markets are filled with opportunities. If you pay close attention, you can get your hands on some of the best collections at a lower price. Last week, we saw many new collections pop up that are already gaining an insane amount of traction on the secondary markets. The 888 inner circle, Sneaky Vampires Syndicate, and Gambling Apes are few notable ones that built an active community and have strong backing from famous artists.
It is okay if you didn’t get a chance to mint any of them, and you’re probably not alone. To help you get ahead in this space and find a gem collection in the early stages, we bring you this week’s top 5 NFT collections. Three of them are Ethereum-based, and the other two will be launched on Solana.
Panda Fighter Club
For me personally, Panda Fighter Club looks like one of the best collections to drop tomorrow, and it is not even close. The collection comes with 8,888 randomly crafted NFTs. Each Panda owner gets access to a fight club. This is where it gets more interesting.
The Panda Fighter club is aiming to create a 1v1 battle game where all Pandas can participate. Each panda will have a weapon equipped to get ready for battle. It can be a super rare item like a ray gun or something more common like a battle staff. Few other notable traits of the Pandas are Body skins, eyes, feet, headpieces, and aesthetic clothing.
This collection is not only providing great artworks but also a community-first experience to all holders. According to their roadmap, they have an ETH airdrop planned for all the first supporters. Not so long after, there will be a special edition giveaway of 75 rare spec Op Pandas.
The community decides even the features of the fight club. By this, we can understand Panda Fighter Club is definitely going to give its holders one hell of an experience with their NFTs.

Frogs In Disguise
You have to save these Frogs in Disguise, or else they will die from extinction. That is basically the story behind this new NFT collection. Frogs use various items such as hats, mustaches, crowns, extra eyeballs, rainbow-colored gems to hide from storks.
This is a collection of 10,000 uniquely created frogs with different disguises, and they come with many rare traits. The best part about the Frogs in Disguise NFT collection is that the team plans to buy back a total of 1500 Frogs after a few weeks of release. This is not only going to keep the floor price high but also attract more people to join the community.
The survival of Frogs doesn’t end with the launch. The main architect of this collection, King Ribbit, plans to create an animated Youtube series, where Frog holders get a percentage of the Ad revenue, given their saved Frog is used in an episode. (The first episode will be released after all frogs have been saved)
In the later stages of the project, we can expect to see a new merchandise section for all holders and exclusive Frogs in the Disguise game. The game is where owners will get a chance to see the final form of their Frog.

Dark Zodiac
This NFT collection is going to launch at the end of this week. Dark Zodiac is a special NFT collection that showcases Chinese Mythology in a modern, digital way. The project kicks off with a limited supply of 3,888 non-generative NFTs that have been crafted in-house by Marc Yap, a Singapore-based 2D and 3D artist.
The first phase of the project will be selling Series one Zodiacs, and with a complete sell-out, the team will start planning Series 2, where NFT owners can interact with their Zodiacs.
In terms of rarity and traits, the Dark Zodiacs are categorized into six different rarity tiers: Patron, Arcane, Mystic, Epic, Emperor’s Chosen, and Dark Celestial. Unlike most collections, the Dark Zodiacs plan to sell NFTs through packs. Each pack will consist of three random NFTs. As a result, you can buy three Zodiacs by making one transaction, and you won’t need to pay any extra gas fees.

Angry Bunny Club
Angry Bunny Club is an upcoming NFT collection that will drop 9,999 cute but angry bunnies on the Solana blockchain. This project is quite different from others on the Solana marketplace for the simple fact that it rewards holders with royalties from secondary sales and mobile games.
The first goal for this club is to build a strong community and brand in this NFT space. They plan to achieve that by offering some great perks. With an official bunny story, they are going to give away merchandise to 100 randomly picked holders. To help with community engagement and growth, the team also plans to give away 1000 dollars every week for one year.
Coming to the royalties part- a 4% commission is set on all secondary sales, and half the amount will be given to holders. According to the roadmap, they also have a year-end surprise. And the final stage of the roadmap is building a mobile game and incentivizing all holders with 50% profits earned from the game.

Cyber Samurai
Cyber Samurai is being launched on DropZone via Raydium Protocol, and it is happening three from now. The collection brings 5,000 algorithmically generated samurai warriors with so many special traits and accessories. These are inspired by 8-bit Cyberpunks, so that we can expect a lot of similarities.
The launch is going to be quite different from other NFT collections, as DropZone operates with pools. When users want to mint NFTs, they need to buy tickets, and if their ticket is selected in the lottery, they can redeem it on the official Cyber Samurai website. The project set a maximum limit of 3 tickets, so users need to deposit 9 SOL to enter the pool.
An important reminder- if you got a winning ticket, you must redeem it within 48 hours from the official website. Otherwise, the Drop Boxes will no longer be active.

That’s it for today. I hope you found something you like. If you want to know more about each project, it is highly recommended to join discord servers and talk to more community members. I have got my eyes on Panda Fighter Club and Cyber Samurai. Let us see how this week goes, and we shall revisit them in the next week’s NFT drop List. Stay Tuned!
