Hot Toys has made plenty of video game figures over the years–from Batman: Arkham Knight to Marvel’s Spider-Man–but it’s finally venturing into the world of Fortnite. The collectible toys manufacturer has shown off its first-ever sixth-scale figure based on the popular battle royale game, with the dimension-hopping everyman Jonesy in the spotlight.
Limited to 3,000 units, the Hot Toys Jonesy figure is designed to look just like the character’s in-game model. Hot Toys has replicated the art direction of Fortnite for this figure–blending stylized realism with cartoonish proportions–and the collectible features soft silicone arms, a fabric tactical outfit, and various accessories. The clothing details include a scarf, a vest with a harness, belts, camouflage pants with stitched patch details, and intricate extras like a metal material necklace, armband, forearm gauntlet, a communication device, and boots with shin guards.
Inside the box, you’ll find gear like a pickaxe, a rocket launcher with a projectile, a tactical shotgun, and a flare gun, as well as an Orange Flopper for a quick heal, a supply llama, and the victory crown for being the last man standing after a Fortnite match. Preorders aren’t open yet, but expect this figure to retail for around $285–the standard price for a Hot Toys figure, depending on various factors. We’ll update this post as soon as the official links are available.
Update: Preorders are live on Sideshow Collectibles, and this figure costs a whopping $390–around the same price as a deluxe edition diecast metal Iron Man from Hot Toys.
This isn’t the only character from a live-service game that Hot Toys is making a figure of, as last month, the company also revealed its first sixth-scale Marvel Rivals figure. South Korean K-Pop idol turned cryokinetic superhero Luna Snow looks pretty impressive in this format, and if you’re interested in adding her to your collection, you can preorder this figure for $280 ahead of its expected release next year. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach sixth-scale figures will also be released soon–following their reveal last year–and you can still grab the intrepid courier Sam Porter Bridges and his nemesis, Higgs, from stores like Sideshow Collectibles.
