Vault-Tec Bobblehead

Item from Fallout by Interplay / Bethesda

Collectible figurine of the grinning Vault Boy, scattered across the wasteland as pre-War promotional items — each one a tiny monument to a world that thought the future would be fun.

Finding one feels like the wasteland winking at you. They're worthless in any practical sense — a small plastic figurine from a dead corporation's marketing department. But collectors obsess over completing the set, and there's a superstitious belief that each one brings luck. They show up in the strangest places: locked safes, abandoned offices, the desks of long-dead executives.

Appearance

Six-inch figurine of the iconic Vault Boy on a small wooden pedestal with a brass plaque. The oversized head bobbles on a spring. Each variant features Vault Boy in a different pose. The paint is faded but the grin remains unsettlingly cheerful.
