At this point what isn't in Fortnite? Godzilla in Jordans? Check. Our favourite virtual popstar Hatsune Miku? That would be a yes. So I'm never really surprised when I see a new collab announced for Fortnite, and the latest Toy Story crossover is no exception to that.
Teased in a short video that Fortnite shared to its socials, it shows a delivery car from Pizza Planet drive along and stop, followed by what seems to be Buzz Lightyear stepping out and walking off. I say 'seems to be' because we don't actually get a good look at Buzz.

This raises a couple of questions. First off, which other toys will join the collaboration? Some fans are wondering where Woody is in all of this, but I don't doubt he'll be announced as part of the collaboration for its release. I'm really just wondering if we'll get the chance to play as one of the aliens.

There's no word yet on whether this could be an option so I'll just wait and hope for now.
But the other question this collab has me asking is will the toys be human-sized or toy-sized. I assume they'll be the same size character models as the rest of the characters, as it would be pretty unfair to go up against a tiny toy that you can barely see let alone shoot. But I can only imagine how horrifying it would be to see a life-size Woody sprinting towards you. Again, only time will tell if this horror comes to fruition. But I do have a feeling we'll be having to deal with human-sized toys chasing us around.
