Fallout 3 "Vault Boy"

You probably know this guy: it's a Fallout 3 Vault Boy bobblehead.

This figure is located on the desk of Toshi, a member of the Grasshopper Manufacture planning section.

Most staff members in our office have a figure or two on their desk.

On Wednesdays, I'll show you figures on staff members' desks.

Thank you for posting a blog, Suda51. I liked how you could collect figures like these from what I assume were Gacha Gacha machines in Shenmue. If I recall most of them were characters from Virtua Fighter, and they came in plastic capsules. Does anyone at Grasshopper have a nice Sarah Bryant figurine?

I played a few minutes of the first Fallout, but that's the extent of my experience with the series. There was enough marketing for Fallout 3 for me to have gained familiarity with Vault Boy, but aside from that, he's as unknown and foreign to me as the other figures you've highlighted so far.

Judging him, then, simply as a toy rather than a beloved character and icon, he's a neat guy. His smooth, simplistic shape and bright, primary blues and yellows are especially interesting against the rougher, more detailed figures you've written about so far. Yesterday I asked about getting bigger pictures of the previous toys. With Vault Boy, the image is exactly the same size, and yet you can see everything there is to see.

How was the Japanese reception of Fallout 3? There are constant comparisons between Japanese and Western RPGs stateside. Wondering if Japan does the same.
