Fallout’s Pip-Boys are sensible items to make into collectibles: they’re iconic, wearable if you want, but would also look cool on a shelf. The Pip-Boy that came with the $120 Fallout 4 collector’s edition, however, was a bulky, cheap-feeling plastic toy that left us a bit wanting.
Perhaps you just can’t do Fallout’s wrist-puters justice at that price, because The Wand Company’s new $200 TV show Pip-Boy replica looks a lot cooler.
Wand Company CEO Chris Barnardo recently met with Tested’s Adam Savage and Norman Chan (see the video embedded above) to show off the replica and compare it to the actual Pip-Boy prop used by Lucy in the TV show, as well as to his company’s Fallout 76 Pip-Boy kit and the Fallout 4 collectible.
The $200 die-cast metal and ABS plastic replica that can be preordered from Bethesda’s store is much bigger than the prop, but that’s because the prop was designed specifically to fit the arm of actor Ella Purnell.
