McFarlane Unveils First ‘Fork-Knife’ Collectibles!
First, yes I know its actually ‘Fortnite’, but I couldn’t help myself. Either way, it’s exciting to see the first ‘Fortnite’ offerings from McFarlane Toys just a few weeks after they made the initial announcement of acquiring the license! The first offerings include four fully articulated 7″ scale figures, which are expected to hit the market before years end. Figures in the first wave include Raptor, Skull Trooper, Black Knight, and Cuddle Team Leader, with each figure including game specific accessories. It’s worth noting that these are going to be some of the most articulated figures that McFarlane Toys have ever produced, with each figure sporting at least a whopping 18 points of articulation (which hasn’t been seen from McFarlane since their old ‘Halo’ toyline)!
Beyond the main figure line, McFarlane Toys is also producing a life sized replica of the Rainbow Smash Harvesting Tool! This replica is approximately 39″ tall with a design directly sculpted and painted from in-game assets!
As we mentioned above, McFarlane Toys first ‘Fortnite’ offerings are expected to hit stores this fall, just in time for the upcoming holiday season!
