After 17 years, Bethesda finally seems to be making up for Fallout 3’s disappointing collector’s edition with a ‘fully functional’ $300 Pip-Boy replica

The market for Fallout collectibles hit a low with the widely derided Fallout 76 collector’s edition, yet the appetite for a proper Pip-Boy endured. Subsequent releases included a modular kit from The Wand Company to assemble a Fallout 76–style Pip-Boy and a separate, similarly priced replica inspired by the TV series.

This new replica appears to offer comparable build quality and features to the TV-show model, but it’s styled to evoke the Pip-Boy seen in the games that built the franchise’s fanbase. It’s a satisfying nod to longtime players — if you’re prepared to spend about $300, that is.
