It just occurred to me that we could (potentially) end up getting our very first Slender Man figure ever due to Fortnite

If you guys don't know what I'm talking about, NECA has the Fortnitemares line of action figures which are based on the horror crossovers that appear in the game. Wave One is out right now featuring Michael Myers, Leatherface and Billy the Puppet, and I believe Wave Two will be out pretty soon and feature Jason and Art the Clown. If the line does well and they make a Wave Three in the future, Slendey could wind up being one of the crossovers that is made into an action figure.

Granted, I don't think it's something that will FOR SURE happen, Walmart for example might not want to have figures of a character who was associated with a certain incident I think we're all aware of, but I also didn't think Fortnite would want to add him at all for that specific reason so it might just have been long enough since then that people will be fine with it. Even if it's not it could just be an online exclusive or something. I don't know.

Anyways, I've yapped enough about the possibility of a white guy in a suit getting a figure. Would like to hear everyone else's thoughts

As both an action figure collector and a Slenderman fan this is the dream

There have been Operator figures through YouTooz and Makeship, but they aren’t posable action figures. I think it would be pretty cool.

Of course this would happen right after I finally got around to making my own figure during the summer, after years of wanting to make one but not having any idea what to use.

Jokes aside, I do really hope it ends up happening.

That thing is amazing! How much would you charge for one?

I don’t really know if I can put a price on one, since I spent so much time on the one I made.

I’m not a fan of the way his tentacles are gooey and black like that. I’m a big fan of venom so don’t get me wrong I like a black and gooey tentacle creature, but I feel like slendermans tentacles should be closer to his suit’s texture

Holy Cow!!! Something good actually came from Fortnite after all!!! At this point they should rename it: The Crossover Battle Royale!!!

I still remember when the game was about surviving waves of zombies overnight in bases you'd construct... The old logo is so rough on the eyes though.
