Starting from Friday 9am PST Series 2 of Avastars Generation 1 will be available on Avastars.io. Collectors and enthusiasts will be able to scroll through the randomly generated characters and mint the ones they want to have. As soon as users have minted five thousand Avastars, the series will come to an end.
The first series had 5000 Avastars, and sold out within 23 days. Considering the amount of interest Avastars has gotten since then, it's likely that Series 2 will sell out faster.
Five thousand characters is the maximum one series can offer. In total there can be only five series in one generation. In addition there will only be five generations. After that Avastars will introduce a system that allows users to generate a new Avastar based on traits from two so-called Primes. There will only be 25.200 Primes ever.

Beyond Avastars as collectibles
Recently Jim McNelis told me in an interview for DappReview that this is not the end of Avastars. Ideally he wants his creation to become a system for online identities. For example, he wants to use the characters to login into third party systems.
At the moment Avastars are quite limited in their usage. However, owners do have the commercial right to use the Avastars they own. So these characters can become an online persona. Opensea, Cryptomotors and Blockcities are among the projects looking to offer an avatar selection tool using Avastars.
