In the same way that Supply Llamas deliver loot within the world of Fortnite, Jazwares' Fortnite Llama Loot Piñata offers a fun way to collect not candy but a four-inch action figure, weapon accessories and building materials. Although the 14" packaging is not meant to be used as an actual piñata, it can be gently torn open to reveal the surprises contained inside, along with large confetti pieces for easy cleanup.
Separately from this product, Jazwares also created a plush version of the piñata llama, which offers a more long-lasting version of the mascot for fans of the game.
Fortnite has gone from being a viral game to a cultural phenomenon, known for its memorable dances and llama mascot, which has inspired the creation of many new llama and alpaca toys.
