Step into the wasteland you vault dweller!
Published on 1st May 2024 by Jerry Hughes
Let’s face it, you’ve completed Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 at least 5 times, right? You’ve played Fallout New Vegas a couple of times and then, well you played Fallout 76 for at least a few hours, but the release of Fallout the TV show on Amazon Prime has vaulted this iconic franchise back to the forefront of everyone’s minds and rightly so, because it’s an absolute belter of a show.
Aside from re-playing one of the above titles again for nth time, I know what you’re thinking, there must be a way for us to celebrate our fandom. We’ve all seen the special memorabilia before such as Nuka Cola bottles, or Vault Boy merchandise such as Pop Vinyls. But what about those of us who want something a bit more.. lifelike? Well, let us introduce you to two items that you’re going to need in your lives if you’re a Fallout fan: the Pip-Boy 3000 Mk V Die-Cast Replica and Lucy’s Vault 33 Backpack.
Pip-Boy 3000 Mk V Die-Cast Replica
The top two iconic features we want lifesize replicas of from the franchise are the Pip-Boy and the Power Armour, and well, the Power Armour just doesn’t seem likely right now. The Pip-Boy 3000 Mk V Die-Cast Replica here is a storming piece of kit, as it’s sure to please every fan of the gaming series.
This 1:1 replica is built with a mix of die-cast metal and injection moulded ABS and it also features a fully-functioning TFT LCD screen, which looks bigger than the screens I used to see on an international flight from London to Orlando, Florida back in the 2000s when going to Disneyland in all honesty.
This screen is animated and features over 45 different variations taken indirectly from the Pip-Boy shown on the TV show, maybe this means you can have access to any vault of your choosing now. Move over Alexa, your Pip-Boy can also double act as an FM Radio or you can even listen to the authentic broadcasts from the Wasteland, just maybe don’t leave it overnight otherwise those dreams you have of running from everyone trying to kill you in the Wasteland after playing Fallout for 10 plus hours might just become that touch more realistic.
If you plan to use the Pip-Boy for potential Cosplay purposes, the inside uses a memory foam cuff for universal fitting purposes and allows for increased comfort.
The Pip-Boy replica also comes with a stand for those who wish to show it off at home with the rest of our replicas, because it would be rude not to wouldn’t it?
Lucy’s Vault 33 Backpack
If you’re looking for something more wearable, then Lucy’s Vault 33 Backpack could be the perfect addition to your wardrobe, whether it’s for the occasional use to impress your mates, you’re an expert cosplayer or you just want to make a statement when riding the Victoria line in the mornings, this bag is suitable for any journey, because if it’s good enough for the wasteland, then it’s good enough for a tube ride surely.
This backpack comes complete with identifiable features such as the specific vault 33 labeling and Vault-Tec insignia on the back so everyone knows you’ve traveled from the same vault as Lucy has, like in the TV show. You also get the yellow fleece blanket to accompany the bag, this blanket is 130 x 80cm, just promise us you’ll try not to lose this one…
If you’re looking at it from a practical point of view, there is a 16-inch laptop compartment to store your work device if commuting and there are several other pockets for items such as glasses, keys, and your phone as well, ideal. Every part of this backpack matches the one used in the show, including specific materials that have been sourced to ensure the quality and look are the same.
Both of these Fallout TV Show replicas are now available to pre-order at GAME, so make sure you don’t miss out now. We'll also have plenty more Fallout TV Series merchandise coming soon, so keep checking back with us to see what is new. Let’s just hope the 1:1 scale Power Armour isn’t too far away from happening…
