ToyLand: McFarlane Toys Snags the Fortnite License
Fans will be able to show their fandom with new figs, statues, and collectables from the well known toy company.
Fortnite (or Fork Knife) is an extremely popular (they raked in $1 billion from in game purchases in the game’s first year. video game that’s made by Epic Games. It’s a battle royale format that supports massive PVP matches, and smaller co-ops where players can team up with their friends to save the world from hordes of monsters. It can also get pretty goofy with characters in bunny suits and giant pinatas. For those unfamiliar…
Owner Todd McFarlane is a fan of the game, and wants to bring other fans the best his company can offer.
“The Fortnite brand has taken on global status and continues to grow each day. The game, with its sense of skill and irreverent fun, now has hundreds of character options to choose from, which is a tremendous blueprint for making any successful toy and action figure line.
The developer’s art team at Epic Games wants to bring that same attitude into the creation of their toys, and everyone here at McFarlane Toys will be doing all we can to bring Fortnite fans the very best products. With such a deep and visually interesting library to choose from, I have no doubt that we will be able to showcase both current and ‘classic’ looks from the Fortnite franchise. After talking with some of the top creators at Epic Games, I’m delighted they are as stoked about our partnership to make cool toys as we are!”
The first run of figs will launch this fall, and will be available anywhere McFarlane Toys are sold.
