Fortnite is the biggest game around right now, and with its first anniversary approaching, what better way to immortalize its success than with a set of collectible figurines? Epic Games and Funko are partnering up to release ten different product lines this holiday, including Pop figures, Pint Size Heroes, Vynl, keychains, 5 Star Figures, and Pop apparel. All of it will be rolling out this holiday season. [Update: The Pops were originally announced without any images of the figures, but we`ve now gotten a look at the first one. It features the Rex skin, which has one of the game`s characters dressing up like a dinosaur. Check it out below.]Which characters would be immortalized in plastic and vinyl have yet to be seen. Fortnite is known for a constantly shifting story with large-scale events that dramatically change the world roughly every two months. By the time the holiday season rolls around, it will switch over at least a couple more times. So either Funko is getting a very advanced look at Epic`s long-term plans, or it`s relying on iconic figures like the Fortnite llama.Most recently, Season 5 kicked off with some massive map changes and a distinct historical flavor, including a rad new skin inspired by Scandinavian mythology. You can check out all the Battle Pass rewards and read up on some tips for how to get them.`We are thrilled to collaborate and partner with Epic Games to create the inaugural Fortnite product collection and to bring these characters to life for the first time,` said Funko CEO Brian Mariotti, in a statement. `This collection will be a true celebration of Fortnite`s incredible popularity and cultural significance, and we believe our Funko Fortnite collectibles will strongly resonate with fans of the game.`
