In a bold move that bridges the digital and physical realms, NECA has announced a partnership with Epic Games to produce a new line of action figures inspired by the popular game, Fortnite. This revelation came during the annual Toy Fair in New York on February 14, where NECA showcased figures that not only capture the essence of Fortnite’s characters but also come with a digital code for in-game use.
Bringing Fortnite to Life
While Fortnite already boasts a variety of merchandise, including Lego sets and Nerf guns, NECA is taking it a step further by creating action figures that reflect the game’s unique character designs. The initial lineup includes figures from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, featuring all four turtles and their nemesis, Shredder. These figures are based on Fortnite-exclusive skins that have appeared in the game as recently as December.
Character Designs and Collectibility
The figures are designed to appeal not just to Fortnite players but also to TMNT fans, promising to fit seamlessly into any NECA collection. As excitement builds, collectors are left wondering about the practicality of owning physical representations of their digital avatars. While some may view this as a cash grab, the allure of owning figures of beloved characters is undeniable.
Expanding the Horror Universe
NECA is not stopping with just the turtles. The company has also unveiled a trio of horror-themed figures, including Michael Myers from Halloween 2, Billy the Puppet from Saw, and Leatherface from Texas Chain Saw Massacre. These figures, while retaining a cartoonish style that aligns with Fortnite’s aesthetic, offer a fresh take on classic horror icons.
The Future of Fortnite Collectibles
With NECA’s extensive catalog, fans can expect a steady stream of new figures in the coming months. The potential for more crossovers is vast, and collectors may find themselves faced with tough decisions about which figures to add to their collections. As NECA continues to explore the depths of Fortnite’s character roster, the line between gaming and collectibles blurs even further, leaving fans eager for what’s next.
