The first Funko Pop! figure for Fortnite: Battle Royale has been revealed—and it’s inspired by the popular in-game Rex skin.
This inaugural figurine was introduced on Twitter just a few days after Funko announced the partnership with Epic Games for Fortnite-themed toys and collectibles.
“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. “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.”
It makes perfect sense that the most popular video game in the world right now would partner with one of the biggest pop-culture toy makers to create collectibles and figurines for fans to enjoy.

“We’re all big fans of Funko’s collectibles, so we were thrilled when we had the chance to partner with them on the Fortnite collection,” said Epic Games vice president Mark Rein. “We hope our players are as excited as we are about all of the cool stuff that’s on its way.”
Rex is likely the first of many Fortnite Funko Pop! figures on the way—the Fortnite collection is set to feature 10 product lines, including Pop! figures, five Star Figures, Pint Size Heroes, Vynl, keychains, POP! apparel, and more.
The price of the Rex Funko Pop! and information on how to preorder or purchase it isn’t available at this time.
