The best Fortnite toys: action figures, nerf guns, and build sets

Looking for the best Fortnite toys? Though the battle-royale shooter certainly isn't as popular as it was back in 2017, there are plenty of people who log on to Fortnite daily, and its live-events and seasons still draw in a huge number of players. For example, Fortnite season 8 'Cubed' has seen us dealing with the fallout of blowing up a massive alien mothership. 

There are still plenty of Fortnite toys on the market, too—whether we're talking action figures, nerf guns, or sets to build yourself. With the holidays rapidly approaching, we thought we'd run through some of the latest and greatest Fortnite toys and officially licensed options, since nobody likes getting duped by cheap knock-offs.

From nerf guns to collectors figures, here are some of the best Fortnite toys around.

Action figures

The best Fortnite toys: action figures

McFarlane Toys action figures - ($17 - $100)

If you're looking for figurines with a little extra quality, McFarlane Toys is a decent option. They sell quality figurines for collectors, and their Fortnite toys are no different, offering a variety of characters and a fairly wide price range, depending on what you're searching for.

Jazwares action figures - ($5 - $76)

If you want something a little on the smaller side, both in terms of price and stature, Jazwares' officially licensed range of 4-inch and 6-inch Fortnite toys is the place to look. They offer a huge range of characters with accessories, but they also have the 'legendary series'. These Fortnite figures really are collectors' items, with an increased height and far more options in terms of their posing potential and articulation.

Funko Pop - ($8 - $24)

Many may think they're dull, but you know what you're getting with a Funko Pop, both from a price and product standpoint. If you're a Funko collector, like the style, or your kid just wants a Fortnite figure to put next to their console, these are among the cheapest Fortnite toys available.

Vehicles and building sets

The best Fortnite toys: vehicles and building sets

The Baller RC Vehicle - ($30)

The Baller is one of Fortnite's most popular vehicles. One part plunger grappling gun, other part that weird thing from Jurassic World, I was genuinely sad to see it go last year with the arrival of Fortnite Chapter 2. Thankfully, you can roll around the living room or driveway with this 360-degree radio-controlled 'car', which also comes with a 4-inch figure to sit inside.

Fortnite Transforming Driftboard - ($20)

Fun fact: I actually got this for the kid in my life, so you know it's worth it. Peely is one of the Fortnite community's favorite characters, and this toy set gives him his own surfboard that also doubles as a skateboard. If nothing else, it's a great chance to get a quality dad joke in by telling your kid to "peel out".

Fortnite Building Sets - ($27 - $80)

If you or your kid are more into the building aspect of Fortnite, look no further than these official building sets. There are a fair few options, including some that comes with action figures, too. The late-game survival kit lets you make a really tall stack fort, while the turbo builder set lets you create angled forts and position your action figures on them for cool poses. 

Nerf guns

Fortnite blasters - ($20 - $55)

Looking for Fortnite Nerf blasters? These come in both a variety of prices and weapon styles, from silenced pistol, to sniper rifle, to full-blown rocket launcher. They also come in both drum and clip-fed variants, so you can choose something a little less fiddly for your kid.

Nerf Fortnite TS-1 Blaster - ($80)

This Nerf cannon is a pretty faithful replica of the tactical shotgun from the game. Not only is it silly-looking enough to not be mistaken for a real gun, but the darts actually do more damage than the tac shotgun in the game itself!
