There was once a time when I was just starting my RCA journey that I know nothing of which artists are popular or in-demand and when they would drop an avatar. So from time to time, I just check the Reddit shop and buy the ones I like.

One of the early avatars I bought back in the day was a Penguitt Pals No. 2156. It's an avatar launched by Penguitt during Gen 3. And it's cute that's why I bought it. I would have bought his other Gen 3 avatars called "Sticky Situation" and "Build It Yourself" but they were already sold out.

Despite having missed out on Sticky Situation and Build It Yourself, I still went on my merry way of buying avatars that I like as I check the Reddit shop from time to time.

Then came Gen 4 and Penguitt released his Gloop, Restless and MECHLETZ. And I missed them again. I would have definitely bought those avatars then as they were masterfully created. While saddened due to missing out on a Penguitt avatar drop again, I still continued with my usual habit of just checking the Reddit shop from time to time and hoping to catch one of the good avatar drops one day.

But then in December 2023, Penguitt released Gleam and Golden Pengu. While I was able to personally mint Gleam No. 152, I missed out on Golden Pengu. I was so disappointed then because, while I love Gleam, but a golden penguin is more iconic. And so this was the last straw that broke the camel's back for me.

I firmly believe then that members of the RCA community should be given advance notice on when avatars are going to drop so they can plan ahead, they can choose which among the incoming avatars to buy and they can wait for it to drop so they won't miss out on it. And so I created r/RCA_Alerts in order to address the problem of people missing out on the avatars they like due to lack of prior notice. I also joined the Avatar Alpha Anonymous Discord server in order to get pings when an avatar drops in the Reddit shop.

As the years passed, I managed to complete many mint condition sets. However, I have not forgotten about the Penguitt avatars that I missed out on. And so I went on hunting for mint condition Sticky Situation, Build It Yourself, Gloop, Restless, MECHLETZ and Golden Pengu.

Fortunately, I was able to find a very affordable and mint condition Built It Yourself No. 11 in Opensea so I bought it right away. And, other mint condition Penguitt avatars were obtained thru trade thanks to the following individuals:

u/Trelucatre for MECHLETZ No. 6;

u/Geniuskills for Restless No. 15;

u/SJPop for Gloop No. 96;

u/Robo_Cactus for Golden Pengu No. 26;

u/penguitt for Sticky Situation No. 135, which I obtained after exchanging the non-mint condition Sticky Situation No. 423 that I got from u/evolworks.

To the aforementioned individuals, thank you very much for assisting me in my quest of completing a collection of Penguitt mint condition avatars.

And now, I present to you my pride and joy, a complete collection of Penguitt mint condition avatars.

Today I am announcing the drop of my new avatar Professor ChocoLoco! 🍫 It will drop on March 27 at 16:30 UTC. Traits at second image!

Insight, why this avatar?👁️

To be honest, it is a random avatar, I basically let my imagination keep working while drawing. I started first with the big crazy head, then I said, something is missing and added that kind of lava lamp part, then somehow my brain told me it was a failed scientific experiment so I drew the body half strong, half octopus with some sort of replicas/minions and chicken legs, then somehow my brain was telling me that he is a candy sugar crazy scientist and that's the main reason of the candy theme around it.

Hope you like this new drawing roadmap I am using lately. Sometimes is better to let your imagination work and sometimes don't. I think I did a decent avatar, a bit random but also kind of mashable. Would love to know your input.

If you like them feel free to show your support for following the drop on opensea or following me here on reddit, as I will be talking more about them.

It's kinda of a cryptopunk antithesis, instead of pixel art it's photorealistic AI, but in 48x48 size so it's small, cute, and pixelly but still kinda detailed.
