Doodles Tease ‘Collide is Coming’, New Era Arriving Soon?

Popular NFT collection Doodles have posted a cryptic tweet stating “the collide is coming”, generating much speculation on what’s next for the brand.

The tweet includes an image of Hap – in all of his vibrant glory – being grabbed by an astronaut from a darker, more monotone world that has a face that was first introduced with the announcement of the $DOOD token in December 2024.

Further details have yet to be shared – though with Doodles NFTs at a floor price below 1 ETH, and with $DOOD currently sitting at a market cap of just over $17 million USD, holders may hope that this incoming news provides a boost to the ecosystem at large.

What is Doodles?

Doodles is a 10,000-piece NFT avatar collection which debuted on Ethereum in October 2021.

One of the biggest NFT collections of the late 2021 NFT boom, Doodles has grown into one of the most high-profile NFT collections in the world. June 2022 saw Pharrell Williams announced as Chief Brand Officer, enshrining their culture-focused future, whilst the January 2023 acquisition of award-winning animation studio Golden Wolf put the collective talent of an industry powerhouse behind the fast-growing brand.

Brand partnerships following, with the likes of Crocs, Casio G-SHOCK, Adidas, AriZona and many more lining up to partner with Doodles. 2024 saw the launch of Doodles Records, the release of animated film Dullsville and the Doodleverse, and a landmark partnership with McDonalds with branded McCafe coffee cups.

2025 has been a tougher year for Doodles. Founder Burnt Toast became Doodles CEO in January 2025, followed by the reveal of AI-based media protocol DreamNet in March 2025, and the long-awaited launch of the $DOOD token in May 2025. Since December 2024, the Doodles floor price has slid from 4 ETH to below 1 ETH, and since its debut in May 2025, the $DOOD token has fallen from a market cap of $65 million USD to $17 million USD.

What is the Doodles ‘collide’?

The tweet posted from the official Doodles X is the only information we have in our hands, so speculation is rife.

Outside of a recent Telegram Sticker Pack release, which dropped on June 17, Doodles and Burnt Toast have been largely quiet on major news. The image included alongside the teaser tweet would appear to suggest a mix between the new and old, a deeper integration between the Doodles brand and the $DOOD token, or perhaps an update pertaining to DreamNet – but these are just guesses at this stage.

Whatever the outcome, with Doodles on a downswing so far this year, both their team and their holders will be hoping that their next headline can move the brand in the right direction.
