Epic Games has been on a roll with its Disney partnership, and the latest addition proves the collaboration still has plenty of fuel left. Following the Hercules skins that dropped in late March, Fortnite brought Buzz Lightyear and Emperor Zurg to the Item Shop on April 10, 2026, at 8 PM ET. To infinity and beyond, indeed.
A collab that's been building for a while
The Fortnite x Disney relationship has quietly become one of the more consistent cosmetic storylines in the game. Hercules arrived just weeks ago, and before that the partnership had already seeded plenty of familiar faces across the island. The Toy Story collab fits neatly into that pattern, pulling two of the franchise's most recognizable characters into the battle royale.
Here's the thing: this isn't just a couple of skins thrown together. Epic built out a full Toy Story section in the Item Shop, complete with pickaxes, back blings, a glider, emotes, and even a Pizza Planet Delivery Truck car bundle. The breadth of it signals that Epic is treating this as a proper marquee drop, not a quick cash-in.
What's actually in the Toy Story bundle
The full catalogue is larger than most collabs. Here's a breakdown of every cosmetic and its V-Bucks price:
The Toy Story Bundle at 3,400 V-Bucks is the most cost-effective path if you want everything. Buying Buzz Lightyear (1,600) and Emperor Zurg (1,500) separately already puts you at 3,100 V-Bucks before touching any of the accessories.

The Toy Story skins will leave the Item Shop on April 24, 2026, at 8 PM ET. That's a two-week window, so there's no need to rush, but don't let it slip past you either.The Disney pipeline keeps moving
What makes this collab interesting beyond the nostalgia factor is what it suggests about Epic's broader Disney strategy. The shared Fortnite x Disney experience that has been teased is still in development, and drops like this one are keeping the momentum alive in the meantime. Each major Disney collab, Hercules, Toy Story, and whatever comes next, functions as a breadcrumb trail toward something bigger.
For players who grew up with Toy Story, dropping into a match as Buzz Lightyear armed with the Lightyear Wings glider and a Buzz Blastaxe is exactly the kind of nostalgia hit that Fortnite does better than almost any other live-service game right now. The Destroy Buzz emote, which presumably features Zurg doing something satisfying, is a nice touch that shows Epic's team actually engaged with the source material.
