Weekend Gamer: Fallout Statues
Like my previously roundup one and roundup two, this third roundup compiles all-things Fallout what is known to me. If I am missing anything, please email me, and I will add to a future collection.

First up is the Brotherhood of Steel Premium Statue, standing at nearly 14 inches tall and coming out July-September 2025, from Dark Horse. You may know Dark Horse as a comic book publisher, but like DC Comics, they’ve expanded to toys and merchandising, under their Dark Horse Direct division.
I really love the bobblehead and Nuka-Cola in the base, but don’t really love the Brotherhood of Steel’s flag for the background. That’s just my taste and thinking that the angles are going to be sharp and might hurt me if I handle it wrong.
As much as I would love to add this to my collection, but seeing as it costs $300, it’s giving me second thoughts. My only future regret is that the statue is limited to 500 pieces, so if I miss my window, I might never see this again.
Also worth mentioning is that the upcoming 13-inch statue is Polyresin vs the 10-inch, which is made of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). As far as I know, PVC is like plastic and is very light, making it feels cheap, compared to stone or lead-based statues.
P.S. Dark Horse also produced these 8-inch Stylized Fallout Vinyl figures (retails for $54), which I won’t buy, unless it’s heavily discounted. I just find it too cartoonish and off-putting.
MCFARLANE TOYSmcfarlane.com
With McFarlane Toys losing the DC Comics license, they’ve been busy looking to expand to other brands – such as Fallout. Last year, McFarlane released a series of 6-inch plastic statues based on the television series in their Movie Maniacs line. The first set included Maximus, Lucy, the Ghoul, and the Vault Boy. The second set was a repaint of the first set.
I actually picked up the repaint on the cheap and am very interested in getting the 12-inch version that I saw at Target in January 2025. I haven’t seen it since, but I know it exists.
Update: As of today (July 9th), McFarlane Toys released pre-orders for Fallout Lucy: Elite Edition #6. This is in the 7-inch scale and features “incredibly detailed sculpt with premium paint applications”. She comes with three swappable faces, four extra hands, two pistols, a base, and Dogmeat. I know I said $60 is too much to price these figures, but you know that I’m such a Fallout fan that I will be collecting these. I can’t wait to get my hands on these.
I honestly don’t care for the extra hands, so perhaps they can keep the cost down if they got rid of some of the extras.

I think this is an officially licensed 13-inch Nuka-Cola Girl Statue by Gaming Heads, but I am hesitant to buy it directly from their website. I own a few Gaming Heads products, like the Bobbleheads, but those were purchased at a retail store. These statues, like the Mr Handy Statue/Figure might be available on their website exclusively (I’ve never seen them sold anywhere else).
Plus, the Nuka-Girl statue’s release date kept moving… currently it’s estimated to ship from their factory in “April-June 2025”, but I have seen a different, earlier date listed before. With June already nearing its end… I wonder if the date will be pushed to November, when you return to their website.
Anyway, the statue is available in three different options, a non-color version for $399 (limited to 50), a standard color version for $499 (limited to 1000), and a deluxe (with a backdrop) for $549 (limited to 500). Personally speaking, I would rather save the $50 and get the regular version, but that’s just me.
It is unlikely that I will buy this (especially for $500), but I really do want a Nuka-Cola Girl statue, because I missed out on buying the Think Geek version. Perhaps someone else (Dark Horse?) will put out an affordable Nuka-Girl Statue in the future.
