4 Fortnite items that need real-life merchandise

There are a lot of iconic and recognizable things from Fortnite. So much so that players would recognize them in any context, and the game has a distinct art style and items, so there would be no issues.

Some of these items would make excellent merchandise. There is already some merch from the game, such as the NERF SCAR or licensed clothing. However, there's potential for so much more.

Most items from the game, provided they stuck around long enough to be recognizable, would make excellent merchandise. Epic Games could do well from some of these items being made into the real world.

Here are a few examples of items that would work.

Kevin the Cube, Shields, and other Fortnite items that have excellent merch potential

4. Loot Llama

Loot Llamas are probably the most recognizable thing in all of Fortnite. They have been in both Save the World and Battle Royale since the beginning, and it's always good when players find them. These animals could easily be made into merchandise and sold like hotcakes.

Loot Llamas could be made into statue collectibles, real-life piñatas (which is sort of a thing already), or more. The possibilities are endless, so Epic Games needs to go ahead and get on that.

3. Kevin the Cube

Kevin the Cube might be the most interesting part of the entire Fortnite storyline. He's popped up a few times across the seasons and has been monumentally important. Kevin probably deserves to be immortalized as merchandise, and this Twitter user has an excellent idea.

Kevin the Cube is not really a wearable item, but it certainly could be a collectible. Epic could also take their advice and make it into a glow-in-the-dark lamp. It would be an instant fan favorite.

2. Shields

Whether mini or big shields, this is one of the most recognizable items in the game. Anyone who has ever played or seen someone play Fortnite knows what the shields are. They would make perfect merchandise as a result.

To take it a step further, all drinkable items in the game would work. Slap juice, Guzzle juice, Shields, Slurp juice, and so much more would be perfect.

These could easily be made into merchandisable drinks. They'd have to be flavor tested and go through all that, but if someone saw a mini shield for sale at their local grocery store, they'd want to buy it.

The same goes for almost any of the drinks. This idea would be a huge success; quite frankly, it's a surprise this hasn't been done already.

1. The Seven masks

The Seven played a huge role in the storyline at the end of Chapter 2 and most of Chapter 3. A case is to be made that these characters are the most important in the storyline. They have saved the island time and again.

Consequently, they deserve some sort of merch, and they happen to have the best item that could be made into merchandise: their masks! The Seven masks are instantly recognizable and pretty awesome.

Fortnite could make it easy by just producing the Foundation's mask since he's by far the most popular, but each has the iconic style that would translate to merchandise. Much like Darth Vader and other Star Wars characters have mask merchandise, the Seven could, too.
