Huggy Wuggy Fortnite Skin and How to Get It
The Huggy Wuggy Fortnite skin brought the blue Poppy Playtime toy into the game for Halloween, and it spent barely a week in the Item Shop on its first run. If you missed it, you're probably wondering what it cost and when it comes back.
The outfit landed in Fortnite during Fortnitemares 2025, with a full bundle and a horror island built by the Poppy Playtime studio itself.
Below, you'll find when Huggy Wuggy came out, what the bundle included, how the Escape Trials island fits in, and your options for getting the skin now.
Huggy Wuggy Fortnite Skin Summary
Huggy Wuggy went on sale in the Item Shop at 8 PM ET on October 23, 2025, during Fortnitemares 2025.
The outfit cost 1,500 V-Bucks, and the full bundle cost 2,200 V-Bucks.
The bundle added the Slappy Sledge pickaxe, GrabPack back bling, and Ready To Pop emote.
The skin has no alternate styles and no LEGO style.
Mob Entertainment also released Poppy Playtime: Escape Trials, a free co-op island.
Huggy Wuggy returned for Fortnitemares 2026 at the same prices, so Halloween is the window to watch.
When Did Huggy Wuggy Come to Fortnite?
Huggy Wuggy came to Fortnite on October 23, 2025, when the outfit hit the Item Shop at 8 PM ET, which was already October 24 in Europe. It was part of the Fortnitemares 2025 lineup in Chapter 6 Season 4, which also brought the Scooby-Doo Fortnite skins.
Mob Entertainment opened the collab in mid-October with its Escape Trials island, and that announcement already named October 23 as the skin's shop date.
The skin sits alongside other Halloween crossovers in our list of Fortnitemares skins. It's also one of the newer horror partners among the biggest Fortnite collabs.
Its shop window was short. Shop trackers list October 30, 2025, as its last day in the Item Shop, about a week after launch.
What Was in the Huggy Wuggy Bundle?
The Huggy Wuggy bundle cost 2,200 V-Bucks, and it packed four items. Bought one by one, the same set added up to 3,000 V-Bucks, and our guide to Fortnite packs and bundles explains when a bundle is the better buy.
Item | Type | Price |
|---|---|---|
Huggy Wuggy | Outfit | 1,500 V-Bucks |
Slappy Sledge | Pickaxe | 800 V-Bucks |
GrabPack | Back bling | 300 V-Bucks |
Ready To Pop | Emote | 400 V-Bucks |
Epic's outfit recreates the character's original design: tall, blue, and all teeth. It comes in one look only, with no extra styles to earn. Battle Pass outfits such as Drift earned their extra styles through XP challenges instead.
Its GrabPack back bling copies the tool players use in the Poppy Playtime games. Slappy Sledge gives you a toy-factory pickaxe to match.
Huggy Wuggy has no LEGO style, so you can't use him in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, which matters if most of your playtime goes to LEGO worlds.
What Is Poppy Playtime Escape Trials?
Poppy Playtime: Escape Trials is a free co-op horror island in Fortnite, built by Mob Entertainment with Unreal Editor for Fortnite. It launched in mid-October 2025, about a week before the skin.
Squads of one to four players solve puzzles and complete shifting objectives as Huggy Wuggy and the Smiling Critters hunt them. The island also brings the GrabPack into play as a working tool.
You can load it from the Poppy Playtime: Escape Trials island page or by searching island code 7441-2135-1198 in the game.
The island stays playable without the bundle, so you can try the collab even if you never bought the skin.
How to Get Huggy Wuggy in Fortnite Now
You can only buy Huggy Wuggy when Epic rotates him back into the Item Shop. He came back for Fortnitemares 2026 and sat in the October 14, 2026 shop at the original 1,500 and 2,200 V-Bucks prices.
Halloween looks like his regular window, the way Skull Trooper returns most years, though Epic gives no guarantee for a licensed collab. Checking when Fortnitemares starts tells you when the odds are highest.
Watch the official Item Shop page after the daily Item Shop reset time. Keep 2,200 V-Bucks ready for the bundle. Our guide to how much V-Bucks cost shows the cheapest way to get there.
If you'd rather not wait for a rerun, Huggy Wuggy accounts already own the outfit. Our Fortnite items cover cosmetics you can grab right away.
FAQs About Huggy Wuggy Fortnite Skin
Final Words
Huggy Wuggy showed how Epic now handles a horror partner: a shop bundle for one week and a full island from the original studio that stays up long after the skin leaves.
That split matters for anyone who missed the drop. The island costs nothing. The outfit depends on Epic's shop rotation.
Two Halloween runs in a row make Fortnitemares 2027 the most likely next window. Until Epic confirms a date, treat every return date you see online as a guess.
