I haven't played the Fallout games, but always liked its aesthetics specially the retrofuturistic aspect of it. I enjoyed the TV series when I binged it last month. Dark, funny, with good amount of mysteries that unravel.
After that I been looking back at some of the Fallout merchandise, most of which I was already familar with but some I had forgotten. I remember the Nuka Cola Girl 1:8 statue released by ThinkGeek made by Chronicle Collectibles, which was sold in 2018 for about $40 and now goes for around $120-$220.
Then I came across this Nuka-Girl 1:6 statue by Gaming Heads. I remember seeing photos of this during the pandemic on Toyark and eventually forgot about it. The prototype looks great and I hope the production piece can match it.
This was originally previewed in 2020 and was scheduled for release in 2021. But I couldn't find any info on their social pages since the 2020 announcement. If it was canceled or postponed, I couldn't find any official posts indicating that. It's still listed for pre-order on their site. No other sites have it for pre-order.
On the product pages it's listed as "Estimated Shipping Date from Factory Q1 2024 (i.e. January - March)", while the general shipping date page has it "Q2 2024 (i.e. April - June)".
The pre-order for regular and collective edition have payment plan options, but for some reason the exclusive version doesn't. And if I choose payment plan for the regular, then the last payment date shows as January 2025. So basically there is no clear indication as to when this statue will get released, if at all it does.
I emailed them asking about the shipping date and whether the exclusive version will have payment plan options. But they haven't replied for over a week now. I also messaged on FB, got a canned response telling me to raise a ticket on the site if it's about an order or send an email. I have raised a ticket, will see if I get any response in the coming week.
I have linked the product pages where you can see more photos. But I am hesitant to pre-order by going with the payment plan or even just putting down $50 for deposit, considering this has been in limbo for 4 years and info from customer service is lacking.
I have contacted BBTS and SpecFic asking if they plan to carry these statues. Hopefully one of them will have them in stock if and when they get released.
The statue is based on the artwork which was also featured as the cover for Nuka-World (the sixth add-on for Fallout 4) released in 2016.
