New Fallout products!
 

GameStop just dumped a bunch of new Fallout figures in their "coming soon" section. Appears to be a mix between Just Toys figures, and products from ThinkGeek. Only a few listed as GameStop exclusives. Here is a list of what I saw:

• T-51 Vault-Tec 4" Figure
• T-51 Nuka Cola 4" Figure (exclusive)
• Liberty Prime Statue
• Atomic Atlas Statue
• Nick Valentine 4" Figure
• Power Fist Replica
• Plasma Rifle Replica
• Super Sledge Hammer Replica
• T-45 Hot Rod 4" Figure
• Female Dweller 4" Figure (exclusive)
• Plasma Pistol Replica
• Fusion Core Replica
• Vault Dweller 4" Figure
• Modern Icons #??? - T-51 Power Armor Statue
• Dog Meat 1/6 Scale Statue
• Modern Icons #??? - Vault Girl Statue

All but the last 3 have decent pictures but none of them have descriptions.

Links with photos, etc.

I'm kind of over FO4 by now but the replicas are some awesome looking items.

Kinda wish Funko had a chance to evolve the Legacy figures and get into some FO4 stuff.

These 4" Glyos figures are honestly just throw aways to me. I mean wow that shitty Photoshop with the female player character, it's hilarious.

The replicas are cool but can't say I'm interested.

....Ooof, my already small hopes of Bethesda licensing for more Elder Scrolls figures just caved in on themselves.

Like... what? O_o
 

I always have to wonder at licensing choices like these. What the possible logic for choosing to give the licence to companies that cannot deliver merchandise worthy of a given franchise / property? To me, the Fallout Series is worthy of a Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. style line of action figures which can be easily customised with interchangeable parts and a plethora of weapons, all without losing the 'action' element of 'action figure'.

3.75" / 4" scale figures would be awesome, and yet there doesn't seem to be anyone in Bethesda's licensing department willing to make this happen. I think its a huge missed chance for the property. There are enough interesting character designs to furnish multiple series' worth of figures, and with certain companies being able to sculpt using digital assets it would be - I assume - a walk in the park editing the in-game models to suit the figures. Make this happen Bethesda!

Hmmm, action figures based on video games in a time where kids buy video games but not action figures. Seems like I have heard that somewhere before.....


CCC.

As most folks on this forum are aware, it ain't just kids that buy games and it ain't just kids that buy figures. And, as a kid, had Fallout figures - decent Fallout figures - been available, I would definitely have bought them. The same is certainly true of other kids with teh same tastes, I'm sure, and adult collectors too.

BUT, we do not run the toy manufacturing companies and the people who do, and I use that word VERY loosely to describe them, are not smart enough to listen to us. They still think only kids buy toys, when in fact kids never bought toys, parents did, and now parents buy video games because that is what their kids want, so because the ID10T's can't figure it out, they think kids want video game toys for their video games.


Damn, now my head hurts.

I grew up with 5 POA action figures in neutral poses, so these don’t disappoint me. They also use the Onell Design Glyos joint system by Matt Doughty, so that is the draw for me.

Why can't we just get some quality action figures.

Because you haven't finished helping all of those settlements that Preston asked you to. We'll take back the Commonwealth, one piece at a time... another settlement needs your help.

Seriously though, I want some good and affordable Fallout figures. The closest we've gotten to it was Funko's attempt and they failed to stick the landing. Their T-45d power armor was okay but not great, their Lone Wanderer though was pretty damn lame.

They should have given the licence to NECA or Mezco

Are there any serious video game action figure lines right now?

I have a deep need for that pipboy construction kit, and I already have a pipboy.

What are we considering to be "serious" lines? Just like a dedicated line for a game or something along those lines? If so, then I don't think there are any right now. Mattel was doing Halo but that seems to have stopped from what I can tell, to be fair though I was never watching it closely. The only gaming figures I can think of which can be found in stores are from NECA and McFarlane but neither company has a dedicated line devoted to a particular game, they only release a few or even just a single figure at a time usually and from a varied selection of titles (though I guess McFarlane may be stepping it up with their Destiny line). Maybe we'll get an actually dedicated line with Hasbro doing Overwatch.

I was thinking something along the lines of NECAs defunct Heroes of the Storm, or McFarlanes DEstiny line which I had just forgot about heh. So that's one, plus some colour tops. It's an oddly small number given how big the video game industry is now.
