When it comes to the best video game adaptations on the small screen, arguably no franchise has received more renewed life thanFallout. The series released earlier this year onPrime Videotorave reviewsandrecord-breaking viewing numbers. Along with that success came a bunch of merchandise based on both the larger brand and the post-apocalyptic series itself. That included figures from McFarlane Toys showcasing the new characters which longtime fans and newcomers alike instantly fell in love with. Now, ahead of Season 2,McFarlane Toysis back with their latestFalloutrelease.
This new addition to theirFalloutcollection comes in the way of a killer posed figure four-pack.The six-inch scale figures are of Lucy, Maximus,The Ghouland the franchise’s cartoon mascot,The Vault Boy. These are thesame figures that were released separatelyback when the Amazon series premiered in April. However, they do come with a few tweaks. For Lucy, Mazimus and The Ghoul, this old-ball trio is covered in blood, whileThe Vault Boy received a sleek black and white paint job. The latter of which is not too dissimilar to the comical ads found throughout the franchise. Also, like his previous figure, Maximus comes with an alternate unmasked head sculpt. This set will be available for pre-order on October 23rd, aka “Fallout Day”. This is the day the bombs dropped in theFalloutuniverse in the futuristic year of 2077.
What’s ‘Fallout’ About?
Rather than being an adaptation of the stories from the game universe,Falloutis an original tale set in the established continuity.Taking place in the year 2296, the furthest point in the timeline, Season 1 follows an optimistic vault dweller named Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell) who leaves her vault for the first time after it was infiltrated by scavengers. This resulted in her father being kidnapped. She needs to rescue him before it’s too late, but the Wasteland doesn’t take too kindly to her because of where she comes from.
Along the way,she comes across a wannabeBrotherhood of Steelmember,Maximus (Aaron Moten)and a deceptive Ghoul (Walton Goggins) who helps teach her the harsh reality of what being out of the vault truly means. From the music to the visual aesthetic to the odd-ball blend of goofy humor and ultra-violent heavy material,Fallouthas quickly become one of the most authentic adaptations gaming has ever seen. The performances from its rich ensemble also stayed very true toFallout’s unique world, with Season 1 leaving all our new-favorite characters in a very exciting spot. The ending even teased the return toNew Vegas, which opens up the door to an endless number of possibilities.
