Travis Scott Fortnite action figure is the latest trend among fans
The initial Astronomical-themed Fortnite collection included hoodies, action figures, t-shirts, hats, caps, and even a Nerf Gun. The action figures, in particular, have proved to be quite a hit among Fortnite fans.
The Travis Scott Cactus Jack 12-inch action figure set includes two action figures, one of Scott himself, and the other of his Astronaut-based mascot, Astro Jack. The action figure set was retailed on the website at 75 USD.
However, since April, it has become more of a collectible and sold for more than 400 pounds on some websites.
Currently, the action figure set is available on eBay for around $125, as Fortnite merchandise is no longer available on the official Travis Scott website. However, Scott regularly releases new brand-themed items that his fans can look at.
The overall success that he got due to the collaboration with Fortnite has effectively made the action figures a rare, collectible item. Quite a few Fortnite fans have proved willing to invest more money than the figures are worth!
