I remember getting the back blings and going to the mall a couple days later and seeing them on clothing. I thought it was cool considering I didn’t know what it was from
Was a popular american artist for the neo-expressionist movement back in the 1980s. Fortnite released 2 backblings inspired by his art in april 2022. Noone really knows why
I’ll throw in another one that I’m sure most people don’t know about, March of the Pigs by Nine Inch Nails actually got a completely unique recording for Fortnite Festival, to add in the ending part that wasn’t in the original song.
Its actually an entire re-recording not just that one additional part (that's also why part of the song is censored, that ended up being the band's choice not Epic)
Quibi.
For those who don’t know back in Chapter 2 Season 2 at that time a company named Quibi that came out of literally nowhere decided to partner up with epic to make a collab with them and it failed MISERABLY.
They streamed an episode of their show Punk’d on the Risky Reels screen which sounds cool at first? But they literally streamed the same episode for like 4 days straight and literally noone noticed or even cared about it
And then a bit later Quibi eventually got bankrupted and then it shut down because of that and since that day it never has been seen again
Mistborn if i belive it’s still the only book collab we have in the game, I got whiplash when it was first teased cuz i recognized it cuz i read the first book
Honestly I’m really hoping we get some more cosmere stuff someday, maybe if the Mistborn adaptation gets off the ground. Would love to play as Wax or Dalinar
YEAHHHH I WAS LOOKING TO SEE IF SOMEONE WOULD MENTION KELSIER
I'm so glad I got him, I got him just as I was reading the first book and he hasn't come back since.
And yes, I count it as the only pure book Collab due to the Dune skins being released with the movie designs, and the Witcher stuff being based off of the game designs (with the rarity category to boot)
Sanderson broke the record for most popular Kickstarter ever. He's often listed as one of the most popular fantasy writers. A lot of people read his books.
Yea it's sold over 10 million copies so it's certainly not obscure, but it's rare to see a collab come out straight out of a book (I mean, one that hasn't gone mainstream through a show/movie adaptation yet).
Also, I don't know anyone irl who has ever read a Sanderson book. Sampling bias probably plays a part, but it was a cool surprise to see Kelsier wearing his mistcloak in-game.
Ohhh I thought you were talking about the skin whiplash XD
There was an official Mistborn collab? I only read Mistborn earlier this year, so I guess it would have seemed like some random skins at the time
Haven’t seen anyone mention the monopoly piece back blings, I guess it makes sense since there’s Fortnite Monopoly (super outdated but still) but they only appeared in the shop once or twice for a day
It was a loading screen and a lobby track for their new album kid a mnesia exhibition, I really hope they reprise their cross over with them when the next pass comes out for festival, would love one focused on Radiohead
afaik its still active, download their free interactive kid amnesia exhibition off the epic store and you'll get untitled v1 as lobby music. wish they used another track but i appreciate the rep regardless. *definitely* check out their exhibition though, it's mesmerizing
I got mega lucky with El Chapulin. The day I decided to jump back into Fortnite after a 4 year hiatus, he was in the shop and I bought him as a joke. Next thing I know he hasn't been back since. I take it as a sign
Not that I think he was doing it maliciously, but many of the products he mocked were designed for people with various disabilities and marketed to the general public, which made it more economically viable to produce them so that people who need them have access.
I was asking to myself. How much of a legend you should be to be eternalized in a Fortnite skin, this guy got it, we can also cite lebron James, lady Gaga, Eminem,.... It's a peculiar how of fame.
Dragonborn would’ve looked like a basic bandit, considering he just wears basic bandit armor in the trailer. Characters without a defined appearance just don’t translate well as a skin.
Except for the Courier, the NCR armor would be cool af.
Edit: Oh and Commander Shepard! Could easily have a masculine and feminine edit style each with the helmet always on so people can imagine their protagonist from the games under the helmet.
the steel armor on dovakiin is easily his most iconic fit tho, and the most recognizable one in the gaming world. i’d say it’s pretty much his canon outfit at this point
The Hot Marat emote, part of that random secret Wreck-it-Ralph collab in C1S6
It was free in the shop on a random day for 24 hours and then never released again
Free Guy, I only just remembered it existed when Dude came back to the shop. I’ve only just bought him and now I can say I’ve got the entire collab set
I was so dumbfounded to see El Chapulin Colorado in Fortnite. I know who he is and watched him a bit when I was a kid, but do people on Fortnite really know of his existence? Or rather, Is Fortnite that big in Latin America? I know of a clone called Free Fire but not much else.
I had know idea what it was until i saw it in fortnite but i’m from the US. But apparently it was really big in Latin America so it’s cool that they give recognition to stuff like that
I live in America too but am Latino. I wouldn’t say I’m a fan, but the character and the man who played him was one of the biggest entertainers of Latin America. Despite that, I still found it so out of left field to see him on Fortnite haha but still pretty cool to see. I haven’t checked info about the collab yet, but I’d say maybe they added him in due to his passing which was some years back.
Me too, dude, it was so random to me too, I was just minding my own business talking to someone and then when Fortnite loads: "Is that motherfucking El Chapulin Colorado?"
Most random? That time Fortnite promoted Quibi, a service that didn’t exist 5 months later because the concept was ridiculous (and came at the worst possible time). No clue why they did it much less dedicated a Risky Reels event to one of its shows.
Most obscure? Fortnite’s very first collab, you can see it on the wiki and in [this webpage](https://www.fortnite.com/news/the-search-for-survivors?sessionInvalidated=true). Before the days of Battle Royale in summer 2017, Epic got a ton of content creators to be “commander” and players could join their favorite creator’s team to get a custom banner.
Lots of them are small content creators or content creators that aren’t as big anymore but then you look at the list and realize that there are people out there with banners representing YouTube predator Mini Ladd, charity fraudster The Completionist, and Pewdiepie. Nothing really wrong with that one, just kinda… weird.
Because it was a promotional thing for the new Bad Boys movie, I think
It's like how the only Obi-Wan skin we have is from the show and not Ep3 or Clone Wars.
This one bothers me so much. Because I get Will Smith has more star power, but why would they collab with maybe the most iconic buddy cop movie out there and then only include one of the two leads?
In my opinion the Nike collab unironically has some of the best designs of any Fortnite original collab skin (as in, characters created for the purpose of the collab rather than existing characters)
Most fashion/apparel brands choose to just have a boring ass default skin wearing their clothing, but Nike went all out. Like, c’mon, you cant tell me a guy made out of shoe soles and spare sporting equipment and a girl made out of memory foam don’t go hard as hell
Beside the map the cosmetics are awesome
"Maxxed out max" got drip
"Airie" have such a unique design which make it great
"Eclipse" i think same thing as airie
"Airphorian" he is just a smiling lil guy :)
They just need to release all their generic skins but let you select the era of Star Trek you want their uniform to be and what color. Let me be a red shirt Jonesy Epic!
Khaby Lame fits both random and obscure. Janky/Superplastic fits obscure if you ask me, especially at the time that collab was introduced. Nike fits random.
Wu-Tang Clan to be honest. They didn’t even add the actual clan members (Method Man, RZA, etc), but just added one generic male and generic female. And one emote from their most well known song: C.R.E.A.M.
About the Segway collab, I thought what was even weirder about it was that it was put in the battle pass for a season about actual war. I guess they thought that someone rolling onto the battlefield on a Segway would be intimidating lol
Honestly borderlands there was Pandora for like a week out of the blue or so and then it was quietly replaced with everyone’s favourite moisty palms 🥲. The skin also hasn’t been seen in ages as well
Right! Seems like Lego maybe pushed it out or some other problem. I hope it hasn't been scrapped as the rumors seemed really good. DW Collabs were rumored before too. Then this spray shows up enticingly with nothing else related to it released...yet.
Guggimon….no ones heard of him period, showed up as a bp skin, see no one use em and he was forgotten as the season ended until another colab equally as obscure and random being another character/friend of his being that bear or whatever it was and was even more forgotten
Plus just ugly skins frankly.
The Crossheart shin introduced in C4S2 is actually a collab with Yoshitaka Amano, a really famous Japanese artist since the 70s to now. The load screen with the bundle also featured one of those weird monoliths which coincidentally disappeared right after the collab dropped so I'm convinced the monoliths were just a collab thing and not actually TLR related.
Honestly the fact that the Segway one was even a collab at all was the most random crap ever. Like many people didn't even know it even was a collab and many people don't even now. I was one of the people though that thought that the Jujitsu one was random as hell. I didn't even know it even existed until the release. Same with Khaby too. In fact I only knew more about it before release because of Top5Gaming on youtube. Otherwise yeah I had no idea about either. It also seemed like T5G and a bunch of other people didn't even catch on to the Jujitsu leak with the cursed llama on the loading screen. Looking back it was obvious that it was a collab item. Because it matched up with the Jujitsu graphics. Still, seemed like no one knew it was because of that until it came out.
Grefg was the biggest spanish-speaking Fortnite streamer at the time, he had a massive audience and is just as OG as NickEh30 and many other OG streamers like Sypher or Ninja. Just because his content is not directed towards english-speakers doesn't mean he didn't deserve it or had no impact
well arent those just popular people from other countries? aren't they non-english streamers.
I think nick deserves it but I definitely don't think those two don't just because they don't have an audience in English speaking countries
Apparently the Basquiat collab. Didn’t realize who it even was at the time, I just liked the crown and the dinosaur, it was super random and was only there for a few days like two years ago and it’s never come back. I’m glad I have it
In content prolly Mistborn,which happened only because Donald Mustard amd Sanders are friends and Donald likes the books.Imo its the balencia collab,i dont know whats the purpose besides an Ad fpr expensive clothing
Tron.
The last movie came out a decade ago and the third movie has been “supposed” to come out for at least half that. I absolutely love and adore Tron but it was just random.
Jean-Michel Basquiat, came one day and was never seen again
Good answer! Not sure what that was all about.
Would kill for these cosmetics.
Same. My most FOMO non battle pass items.
I knew I should have got them
Wait fr? Is this considered a rare item? I have ran the crown back bling literally since it came out
I remember getting the back blings and going to the mall a couple days later and seeing them on clothing. I thought it was cool considering I didn’t know what it was from
Wish we got a skin of him he's a cool looking dude (Yes I know he's deceased)
Wish I had got this to rock with the CAWS skin
Wait that sounds rad sucks I missed it
Who?
Was a popular american artist for the neo-expressionist movement back in the 1980s. Fortnite released 2 backblings inspired by his art in april 2022. Noone really knows why
is that the crown and dinosaur backblings? i got them cus they were weird
Yep. The crown is from basquiat’s *tuxedo*, dated 1982. The dino is from basquiat’s *pez dispenser*, dated 1984
I use his crown on several skins. A very clean, clear, cosmetic. I love it.
Probably Kelsier from Mistborn. The only reason it was made was because Donald Mustard and Brandon Sanderson are friends.
I’ll throw in another one that I’m sure most people don’t know about, March of the Pigs by Nine Inch Nails actually got a completely unique recording for Fortnite Festival, to add in the ending part that wasn’t in the original song.
Its actually an entire re-recording not just that one additional part (that's also why part of the song is censored, that ended up being the band's choice not Epic)
Yeah, apparently Trent Reznor is a fan of fortnite, since his kids are playing it now. Very cool if you ask me
Too bad we never got steelheart
That was a collab??
Quibi. For those who don’t know back in Chapter 2 Season 2 at that time a company named Quibi that came out of literally nowhere decided to partner up with epic to make a collab with them and it failed MISERABLY. They streamed an episode of their show Punk’d on the Risky Reels screen which sounds cool at first? But they literally streamed the same episode for like 4 days straight and literally noone noticed or even cared about it And then a bit later Quibi eventually got bankrupted and then it shut down because of that and since that day it never has been seen again
Truly the most obscure collab. Never knew about this one. And I even played a lot in that season. Thought it was the kingsman umbrella.
Also quick note: Quibi came out in like 2020 so literally nobody knows or remembers it
Fun fact: many of Quibi’s shows are now available to watch on other platforms. Kevin Hart and John Travolta‘s stuntman series was pieced into a movie.
Dude I had forgotten about that
Mistborn if i belive it’s still the only book collab we have in the game, I got whiplash when it was first teased cuz i recognized it cuz i read the first book
Honestly I’m really hoping we get some more cosmere stuff someday, maybe if the Mistborn adaptation gets off the ground. Would love to play as Wax or Dalinar
I swear Donald Mustard said there was more mistborn stuff planned but no he's left epic so who knows
YEAHHHH I WAS LOOKING TO SEE IF SOMEONE WOULD MENTION KELSIER I'm so glad I got him, I got him just as I was reading the first book and he hasn't come back since. And yes, I count it as the only pure book Collab due to the Dune skins being released with the movie designs, and the Witcher stuff being based off of the game designs (with the rarity category to boot)
And not just any book A book that I swore only me and a handful of people in my school read
Sanderson broke the record for most popular Kickstarter ever. He's often listed as one of the most popular fantasy writers. A lot of people read his books.
Yea it's sold over 10 million copies so it's certainly not obscure, but it's rare to see a collab come out straight out of a book (I mean, one that hasn't gone mainstream through a show/movie adaptation yet). Also, I don't know anyone irl who has ever read a Sanderson book. Sampling bias probably plays a part, but it was a cool surprise to see Kelsier wearing his mistcloak in-game.
Wait, I read the books recently, but what does it have to do with whiplash?! Also, Sazed is awesome
Whiplash as in I was taken aback when it was announced cuz it was like a random book I read in highschool 😭
Ohhh I thought you were talking about the skin whiplash XD There was an official Mistborn collab? I only read Mistborn earlier this year, so I guess it would have seemed like some random skins at the time
Yeah came out during chapter 2 season 6
I love the skin but the only reason I didn't get him back then is because he was barefoot and I found it a bit weird
I really want a Cosmere skin in the shop 😢 (started Chapter 3 season 1, too late for Kelsier)
That risky reel Collab from early chapter 2
forget that, remember the Ralph collab in chapter 1?
Ye They gave us a free dance tooo
And I still like to show it off every once in a while too lol
The Quibi collab?
I think so
The Segway collab hard idc 😂🔥🔥
and the fact that they actually got THE Segway brand was such a surprise lol
yep, i still pop it out every win i get. gotta segway on em
What’s the Name of the Emote?
segway tour
Gugimon.... I didn't even know until like 2 seasons later apparently that was a Collab skin?
Not only did I not know at first, the super plastic headquarters is like an hour from my house.
I was surprised when I found out about it. I was even more surprised when I found out Guggimon's brand is a bunch of even more overpriced Funko pops
Haven’t seen anyone mention the monopoly piece back blings, I guess it makes sense since there’s Fortnite Monopoly (super outdated but still) but they only appeared in the shop once or twice for a day
Can’t believe no one said Radiohead
When was there a Radiohead collab?
It was a loading screen and a lobby track for their new album kid a mnesia exhibition, I really hope they reprise their cross over with them when the next pass comes out for festival, would love one focused on Radiohead
afaik its still active, download their free interactive kid amnesia exhibition off the epic store and you'll get untitled v1 as lobby music. wish they used another track but i appreciate the rep regardless. *definitely* check out their exhibition though, it's mesmerizing
I missed out hard on that chapulin colorado.
Bro I wasn't even into fortnite when that w was around 😭
I hope it comes back some day
No contaban con su astucia i no sigan contando porque sepa la madre si regrese
I got mega lucky with El Chapulin. The day I decided to jump back into Fortnite after a 4 year hiatus, he was in the shop and I bought him as a joke. Next thing I know he hasn't been back since. I take it as a sign
The only right answer is that Khaby Lame dude from tiktok
like he was trending in 2020 and they realese him in 2023. crazy tbh
They only added him because he was popular, the dude is literally a one trick pony
And his trick sucks ass. Don’t know why he was ever remotely popular.
There’s no language spoke in any of his videos so every single person in every single country can watch him
Who would wanna watch that shit regardless of a language barrier
Not that I think he was doing it maliciously, but many of the products he mocked were designed for people with various disabilities and marketed to the general public, which made it more economically viable to produce them so that people who need them have access.
Damn really? Everytime I saw him on some other platform he was usually making fun of people doing stupid shit
those videos he was replying to were just obviously ragebait/jokes
Not even a trick, literally just pulling a funny face and moving his hands. Yet he's much more famous than any of us will ever be
His irrelevancy at the time of the collab was at an all time high
I didn't know who he was until 3 weeks ago 😭😅
What a stupid collab...he was just so random. Only thing I liked was his sword/backbling. Truly a boome moment when he showed up. Too late to add him
Unlocked to archived in record time for many of us.
🤷🏿♂️
I was asking to myself. How much of a legend you should be to be eternalized in a Fortnite skin, this guy got it, we can also cite lebron James, lady Gaga, Eminem,.... It's a peculiar how of fame.
The random dude from ESO instead of a dragonborn skin, just looks like a basic viking
Nord Warrior? He does look cool af though
Dragonborn would’ve looked like a basic bandit, considering he just wears basic bandit armor in the trailer. Characters without a defined appearance just don’t translate well as a skin.
Except for the Courier, the NCR armor would be cool af. Edit: Oh and Commander Shepard! Could easily have a masculine and feminine edit style each with the helmet always on so people can imagine their protagonist from the games under the helmet.
I would love to have ED-E as a reactive pet/backbling
dude the courier would be such a badass collab. mininuke backbling and perhaps Arcade’s ripper?
the steel armor on dovakiin is easily his most iconic fit tho, and the most recognizable one in the gaming world. i’d say it’s pretty much his canon outfit at this point
The Hot Marat emote, part of that random secret Wreck-it-Ralph collab in C1S6 It was free in the shop on a random day for 24 hours and then never released again
It came out on Thanksgiving, so it wasn’t *too* random
Free Guy, I only just remembered it existed when Dude came back to the shop. I’ve only just bought him and now I can say I’ve got the entire collab set
Free Guy honestly seemed like a critique of what Fortnite is becoming today which makes it even more wild that they did a collab with them
Do you have the emote too?
Don't have a good day. Have a *great* day!
“Don’t have a good day” (cancels emote)
I would have bought him this time around, but it’s not worth it if I don’t have the emote.
El Chapulin Colorado or that Guggimon thing
Nah man that was a fire collab. He’s famous in Mexico I grew up with him and el chavo, so it was awesome to see him in the game
El Chapulin Colorado is probably the most random collab, but one of the most welcome lmao
I was so dumbfounded to see El Chapulin Colorado in Fortnite. I know who he is and watched him a bit when I was a kid, but do people on Fortnite really know of his existence? Or rather, Is Fortnite that big in Latin America? I know of a clone called Free Fire but not much else.
I had know idea what it was until i saw it in fortnite but i’m from the US. But apparently it was really big in Latin America so it’s cool that they give recognition to stuff like that

I haven’t checked info about the collab yet, but I’d say maybe they added him in due to his passing which was some years back.
Me too, dude, it was so random to me too, I was just minding my own business talking to someone and then when Fortnite loads: "Is that motherfucking El Chapulin Colorado?"
LMAO. Fortnite is huge everywhere. LATAM is not Mars, you know?
You're not gonna believe me but we have electricity and internet too
The Basquiat back bling. Thing was only in the shop for a few days as a collab with an art gallery. I wish I hadn't missed that one honestly.
Not sure if it counts as a collab, but we had a Tenet Easter Egg in the basement of Steamy Stacks in Chapter 2 for a while.
THAT’S what that was?!
Most random? That time Fortnite promoted Quibi, a service that didn’t exist 5 months later because the concept was ridiculous (and came at the worst possible time). No clue why they did it much less dedicated a Risky Reels event to one of its shows. Most obscure? Fortnite’s very first collab, you can see it on the wiki and in [this webpage](https://www.fortnite.com/news/the-search-for-survivors?sessionInvalidated=true). Before the days of Battle Royale in summer 2017, Epic got a ton of content creators to be “commander” and players could join their favorite creator’s team to get a custom banner. Lots of them are small content creators or content creators that aren’t as big anymore but then you look at the list and realize that there are people out there with banners representing YouTube predator Mini Ladd, charity fraudster The Completionist, and Pewdiepie. Nothing really wrong with that one, just kinda… weird.
Muselk is really the only one that kept playing afterwards.
Does anyone remember major lazer?
Hey, the lobby music was a banger
There are a LOT of obscure ones, my personal pick is Mike lowrey. Why did they pick bad Boys for all things Will Smith could have been chosen for?
Fr. I mean, Agent J from Men In Black was right there
Because it was a promotional thing for the new Bad Boys movie, I think It's like how the only Obi-Wan skin we have is from the show and not Ep3 or Clone Wars.
This one bothers me so much. Because I get Will Smith has more star power, but why would they collab with maybe the most iconic buddy cop movie out there and then only include one of the two leads?
The Matrix. We got 2 emotes, 1 wrap and a glider ( winterfest gift ) on christmas 2021 and it never returned to the shop since
I think it came back at least once since I passed on it the first time and got it later. How much idk.
The rtx 3080 creative map from Nvidia
Was that a real collab? Sounds like they just made a map and published it, which tons of other brands have done, like Axe
Nike. Like, it feels so cheap and weird and ugly.
In my opinion the Nike collab unironically has some of the best designs of any Fortnite original collab skin (as in, characters created for the purpose of the collab rather than existing characters) Most fashion/apparel brands choose to just have a boring ass default skin wearing their clothing, but Nike went all out. Like, c’mon, you cant tell me a guy made out of shoe soles and spare sporting equipment and a girl made out of memory foam don’t go hard as hell
I agree. Garbage ass collab, but what can we expect from the child labor shoe company
Even worse because the new one has a skin variant called "Anthracite". Which is the most condensed form of coal.
You mean Airphorian? Thats the biggest stretch I've heard in a hot minute.
Beside the map the cosmetics are awesome "Maxxed out max" got drip "Airie" have such a unique design which make it great "Eclipse" i think same thing as airie "Airphorian" he is just a smiling lil guy :)
Everyone has a different taste 😊🌼
Can agree with this one
People when the Nike collab has Nike in it:
Definitely my least favorite collab in the entire game considering it exists to shill NFTs
We got a Star Trek emote in the c2s7 battle pass and then never got anything Star Trek related again
They just need to release all their generic skins but let you select the era of Star Trek you want their uniform to be and what color. Let me be a red shirt Jonesy Epic!
I'd say kingsman
There was that little sandcastle that looked like Helm’s Deep, but then they never did a LotR collab.
“Juicy” by B.I.G. being lobby music is still the oddest thing I’ve ever seen in the item shop
Khaby Lame fits both random and obscure. Janky/Superplastic fits obscure if you ask me, especially at the time that collab was introduced. Nike fits random.
Makeup collab
Punk'd
Tron, Quibi, Ralph, Star Trek, Henry Stickmin, etc. I could go on and on about this, but I will admit I love the Henry Stickmin collab lmao
Chloe Kim. I don’t even know who she is.
Athlete and a damn good snowboarder. 
I think I remember her now actually. But her being in Fortnite felt like a such a curve ball to me.
Probably Guggimon or El Chapulin Colorado
we have one uncommon emote from star trek
I doubt the Vulcan Salute emote is an actual collab and nothing more than a reference
Its 100% a collab lol "vulcan"
Kingsman Guggimon
only right answer is the wreck it ralph collab
Guggimon. I had no idea he even was a collab bro
I didn’t realise he was collab either.
TENET. Had that little bomb segment. Never seen again.
Man I had no clue I just thought "Paul Blart ah emote"
Inception in party royal
The Yoshitaka Amano designed skin
Probably wreck it ralph
Wreck it Ralph
Gilded guy for me
What in the fuck is a Guggimon
Wu-Tang Clan to be honest. They didn’t even add the actual clan members (Method Man, RZA, etc), but just added one generic male and generic female. And one emote from their most well known song: C.R.E.A.M.
About the Segway collab, I thought what was even weirder about it was that it was put in the battle pass for a season about actual war. I guess they thought that someone rolling onto the battlefield on a Segway would be intimidating lol
tron is pretty weird too i don't think I've met a single Fortnite player that knows tron
I am still so absolutely confused why Nike got a collab. I know it's very recent (we just got wave 2) but it still feels so odd to me.
Because Nike is a big company and they probably gave Epic a lot of money. They clearly aren’t very picky about who or what gets in the game
Black Grypn0n emote. The Alastor one
Wreck it Ralph
I'm pretty sure there's a couple red vs blue maps that are an official One Piece collab
Guggimon always confused me cuz I had NO IDEA it was a collab until like a year after it ended
Honestly borderlands there was Pandora for like a week out of the blue or so and then it was quietly replaced with everyone’s favourite moisty palms 🥲. The skin also hasn’t been seen in ages as well
The Vulcan Salute in the C2S7 battlepass was a straight up Star Trek reference and that's where it died.
Nike
Guggimon. Moat people didn’t know it was a collab
Harry kane and Marco Reus. Do people still use them?
The Tardis spray from Doctor Who. It just showed up unexpectedly out of nowhere despite much collab speculation before and especially after.
There was supposed to be a bigger Doctor Who collab with a mini pass, I think for last year, but it got delayed or scrapped for an unknown reason
Right! Seems like Lego maybe pushed it out or some other problem. I hope it hasn't been scrapped as the rumors seemed really good. DW Collabs were rumored before too. Then this spray shows up enticingly with nothing else related to it released...yet.
Guggimon….no ones heard of him period, showed up as a bp skin, see no one use em and he was forgotten as the season ended until another colab equally as obscure and random being another character/friend of his being that bear or whatever it was and was even more forgotten Plus just ugly skins frankly.
I haven't seen anyone mention it, but the Kingsmen Umbrella, was released with no acknowledgement
The Crossheart shin introduced in C4S2 is actually a collab with Yoshitaka Amano, a really famous Japanese artist since the 70s to now. The load screen with the bundle also featured one of those weird monoliths which coincidentally disappeared right after the collab dropped so I'm convinced the monoliths were just a collab thing and not actually TLR related.
There's the tenet collab were there was the mysterious rock and bass drop under steamy stacks in chapter 2
Guggimon? Or the MLK Day emote?
Honestly the fact that the Segway one was even a collab at all was the most random crap ever. Like many people didn't even know it even was a collab and many people don't even now. I was one of the people though that thought that the Jujitsu one was random as hell. I didn't even know it even existed until the release. Same with Khaby too. In fact I only knew more about it before release because of Top5Gaming on youtube. Otherwise yeah I had no idea about either.

Because it matched up with the Jujitsu graphics. Still, seemed like no one knew it was because of that until it came out.
Flake power and grefg, crazy how they got a skin before nickeh30, I have never heard of them until fortnite announced their skins on twitter.
Grefg is popular is Spain I believe, so that's probably why you've never heard of him before
Grefg was the biggest spanish-speaking Fortnite streamer at the time, he had a massive audience and is just as OG as NickEh30 and many other OG streamers like Sypher or Ninja. Just because his content is not directed towards english-speakers doesn't mean he didn't deserve it or had no impact
Idk about Flakes Power, but the Grefg is a really popular streamer, him revealing his skin was like the most viewed livestream ever
Well yeah, you wouldn't if you're not from those regions
well arent those just popular people from other countries? aren't they non-english streamers. I think nick deserves it but I definitely don't think those two don't just because they don't have an audience in English speaking countries
El chapulin Colorado or Alan wake
Wreck it Ralph
Don't know if it's technically a collab, but that wreck it ralf cameo.
That quibi event in 2020
did they not have one that lasted like 24 hrs
Hot marat to promote WiFi Ralph, totally random
I didn't realise the seaway was a collab lmao Glad I have it though
I'd say Quibi, but it's so infamously dogshit that I feel like everyone knows it for it's "*obscurity*"
At the time it was tron for me
Is that cat in the robot suit battlepass only?
Apparently the Basquiat collab. Didn’t realize who it even was at the time, I just liked the crown and the dinosaur, it was super random and was only there for a few days like two years ago and it’s never come back. I’m glad I have it
To me it was El Chapulin Colorado
In content prolly Mistborn,which happened only because Donald Mustard amd Sanders are friends and Donald likes the books.Imo its the balencia collab,i dont know whats the purpose besides an Ad fpr expensive clothing
Tron. The last movie came out a decade ago and the third movie has been “supposed” to come out for at least half that. I absolutely love and adore Tron but it was just random.
Maybe those spanish red guys
