Closer look at LEGO Fortnite minifigure debuted early at Gamescom

One LEGO Fortnite minifigure debuted early at Gamescom, with some attendees getting to take home one of their own ahead of its October release.

Gamescom attendees could pick up a flyer from the LEGO Store in Cologne that can then be exchanged for a LEGO Fortnite Cuddle Team Leader minifigure at the gaming convention. Promobricks did just that and has offered us our first hands-on look at the Cuddle Team Leader minifigure.

The photos reveal that, instead of a single moulded headpiece like the LEGO Animal Crossing minifigures, Cuddle Team Leader’s head is made up of a plain white minifigure head with a pink teddy bear accessory on top. Promobricks does specifically note that other LEGO Fortnite minifigures do have face printing, even if Cuddle Team Leader is left blank under the bear head.

There doesn’t seem to be any Gamescom exclusive element to the minifigure, appearing to be simply an early release of one of the nine minifigures set to release in LEGO Fortnite 77073 Battle Bus.

I write about all the very best fandoms – and that means LEGO, of course. Spending so much time looking at and talking about LEGO sets is dangerous for my bank balance, but the LEGO shelves are thriving. You win some, you lose some.
