Fans of Epic Games' Fortnite get their best look yet at the upcoming line of Funko POP! figures, and yes, they will come with Back Bling. With Fortnite everywhere right now, it was only a matter of time before the battle royale brawler joins the likes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Adventure Time, and The Walking Dead to be immortalized in Funko form.

Funko Pops and battle royale games are nothing new, but with Fortnite still ruling the roost of the popular genre and recently breaking the $1 billion mark, a series of vinyls is a clever way to continue cashing in on the trend. Concept art of Fortnite's Funko POP! figures has already appeared online, but players can get a closer look at the finished product.

The images were shared by Jessica Blevins - the wife of Fortnite legend Tyler "Ninja" Blevins - during a trip to Epic Games in North Carolina.

Not only did Blevins confirm that two of the Funkos will be Rex and Tricera Ops, but when one fan quizzed whether the vinyls will have Back Bling, she posted a rear view of Tricera Ops. Adding something like Back Bling may seem like a minor detail, but at least it shows that Funko is committed to remaining authentic.

While Blevins didn't reveal any of the other figures, a recent leak from Instagram account SerlentPops already suggested that the first wave would include Rex and Tricera Ops alongside other skins like Omega, Black Knight, and Brite Bomber. Fortnite is continuously adding new skins with every update, so it's only a matter of time before new additions like the Ace or Galaxy skin are transformed into Funko Pops.

Promised to be available in major retailers and online, there is still no official word on how many Fortnite Funkos there will be or what they will be priced at. Thankfully, the Fortnite Funkos are just as colorful as the in-game skins and sure to grab the attention of fans everywhere.

Considering that battle royale games are set to make over $20 billion in 2019, expect to see a boom in game merchandise on a par with the genre itself. With some parents paying for their kids to get Fortnite training, a line of Funko Pops in the final quarter of 2018 is sure to be a hit for the festive season. Although there is no official release date for the Fortnite Funko POP! figures, expect more news in the near future.
