There is a big myth in the Fortnite Community that different skins have different hitboxes. If you have a Fortnite skin that is larger in size, or wears some kind of accessory that makes it longer than any other skin, the hit-boxes of that skin will still be the same!
Whether you use John Wick, Rex, Cuddle Team Leader, or the Default Skin, the area of the body where one can hit you remains the same. However, the Thanos (Infinity Gauntlet) mode is Fortnite was obviously an exception to this rule.
So, where's the proof of the same? Here's a video that proves it clearly.
Epic Games have clearly stated that cosmetic items in the games do not give any competitive advantages. This is why Fortnite Battle Royale is not a pay to win game.
For instance, most of the outfits listed at TechCenturion.com have more or less the same size.
So, even if the hit-boxes were dependent on the Skins, they would still be the same as all skins are actually of the same size. The major difference is only in the terms of accessories these characters wear.
Skins do not give any competitive advantages but they sure give some other advantages. For example, extremely darker skins or the skins that glow a lot are easy to spot. The Dark Voyager falls in the same category. Unfortunately, this is also somewhat true for the fully upgraded Omega.
The extremely fresh looking green grass in the game makes it easy for greenish skins to hide. Rex, Moisty Merman, Leviathan, Hazard Agent are some such skins that make you harder to spot. This is why these are some of my favorite in-game skins.
Here's a Reddit thread where you can discuss more about the Skin Hitboxes in Fortnite.
For characters that have a big head (Cuddle Team Leader), the hitbox on the face is same as any other character. So, if you hit it on the side of its face, the bullet will simply miss. Similarly, if you hit at the large hat of Crackshot, the bullet will go through its face.
So, always try to hit at the middle on the head of Cuddle Team Leader or any other character will a large face.
