He-Man, Skeletor, and She-Ra are playable in Fortnite. Epic Games released the Masters of the Universe collaboration to the item shop on June 6 at 8 PM ET, one day after the live-action film opened in theatres, and the in-game shop timer shows the cosmetics leaving on June 20 at 8 PM ET. All three characters use their classic 1980s animated-series looks rather than the movie designs.
The collaboration is the first official partnership between Fortnite and Mattel, per esports.gg, and the first crossover of Fortnite’s Chapter 7 Season 3. The full bundle runs 3,600 V-Bucks. Separately, the He-Man and Skeletor skins cost 1,800 V-Bucks each (with back bling and pickaxe included) and She-Ra costs 1,600, with individual pickaxes, capes, emotes, and a Grayskull drum kit priced from 300 to 800 V-Bucks.
The detail fans noticed most: the collab includes an emote built on He-Man’s mid-2000s “HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA” internet meme, the viral Flash animation that set the character to 4 Non Blondes’ “What’s Going On.” Skeletor also gets a throne-sitting emote, a nod to his own meme catalogue.
For a 44-year-old toy brand chasing younger audiences, a Fortnite shop slot in the movie’s release week is the most direct line Mattel has to the demographic that skipped the theatrical opening. The skins stay in the shop through the film’s third weekend.
