It appears the disturbance that veiled Eruption 22 has finally cleared. The cause remains unknown, but our comms are back online and they're picking up molten pressure bubbles building beneath Burn Island. A seismic shift is stirring - and this time, it's not just lava erupting. It's style. Inspired by the high-energy Manga Speckle Set in Topps VeeFriends Chrome 2025, Burn Island Eruption 23 invites Series 2 holders to make their next move loud, bold, and full of action: introducing the Manga Pose Swap.

Burn to Swap: Manga Pose

During this Eruption, which lasts one full month, VeeFriends Series 2 holders can upgrade their resting pose tokens into a manga-inspired pose through a limited-time Pose Swap. Featuring the same 100 characters from the Topps VeeFriends Chrome 2025 set, this Eruption lets holders of eligible Series 2 tokens swap their "Resting Pose" token's pose for the "Manga Pose". Inspired by the Topps VeeFriends Chrome 2025 release, the updated artwork will feature some characters in the familiar Manga Speckle insert style, while others will debut a fresh new look, all within the same manga-inspired style. Although not every character will be eligible, there may be opportunities for future Manga Pose swaps as more VeeFriends characters are introduced in future Topps Chrome releases.

By burning one (1) BOOK GAMES token, eligible holders will update both the visual art and the "Pose" metadata of their resting Series 2 NFT to a brand-new "Manga" pose. It's a crossover moment that celebrates the physical cards launching on May 7th - but this time, it's immortalized in your digital wallet.
