fallout gold vault boy

Postby Codfac » Thu Oct 13, 2016 12:55 pm

Saw on Reddit that forbidden planet has a gold vault boy that comes out on October 31(?).
Looks great and would probably go nice with a gold power armor (to whoever was lucky enough to get one)

First I've heard nothing of this, I don't remember it being posted anywhere and second, not sure I'm buying it. I don't think FP has ever done their own Pop exclusive have they? And it's due out in a couple of weeks but isn't on their site for preorder? Info seems a little dicey.

EDIT, see Scott's post below, this is legit!

Anyone ever order from Forbidden Planet and know what the general shipping rate is per Pop? I checked the site and it accepts US addresses but for shipping it says it will charge you once they get it all packed and ready.

FP has had Asterix and Obelix as exclusives before, which we got and are amazing!

Here is the URL I used to preorder it:

http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/fallou ... ltboy-gold

This type of situation happened with an even smaller Canadian store that had a Vault Boy exclusive, and it was legit.

Good deal, thanks for the correction Scott :-) I searched their site right before posting and didn't see it, that page must not be indexed yet. I'm disappointed that he is all gold though, I wish he had some contrasting accents like they did on the GS gold Batman and Batgirl. Sure it was just the chest logo on them, but it makes them stand out as "real" Funko exclusives and not just a cheap rattle-can repaint someone did like you see all over eBay.

He would look fantastic with an oil wash!

He is supposed to be a reference to a Gold version from the New Vegas game.... but after talking with some of my friends, it seems like this COULD be the chase piece to future Black Friday GameStop mystery boxes, which mean there might be a b/w vault bot in the future too....

I think given the time of year it is, the fact that we know GS is doing Black Friday mystery boxes again, and the fact that they did gold and B&W power armor last year...this really seems like the most likely explanation!

I just got an email from Nerd Block saying they're about to open an e-store that will have "exclusive collectibles". Wondering if this is where we see Vault Boy rather than one of their sub boxes.

If this is a US store exclusive that can be had relatively easily, I'll snag one, but I'm not going through the GS mystery box fiasco again. It was my own fault, but I spent way too much on those last year. Unless there is some interest in the other contents, I think I'll just buy what I want from the secondary market or members here.
