If you’ve ever looked at your McFarlane Vault Boy figure and thought, “This is great, but what if it glowed with the eerie essence of the Wasteland?”, then good news: McFarlane Toys has answered that very specific wish. The Fallout Vault Boy Glow in the Dark McFarlane Toys figure is now up for pre-order, bringing a fresh, irradiated twist to the iconic thumbs-up mascot.
A Bright Idea – The Glow in the Dark Vault Boy
Set for release as a limited edition Fallout Vault Boy Glow in the Dark for sale, this figure stands 5 inches tall, capturing the classic Vault Boy pose. But unlike previous versions, this one glows a ghostly green when the lights go out—perfect for adding a little post-apocalyptic ambience to your collection.
This figure is part of McFarlane’s Movie Maniacs line and follows the Gold Label Vault Boy figure, using the same mold but with a radioactive new finish. The details remain sharp, with Vault Boy’s cheerful yet slightly unsettling grin intact, but now he’s got that “just walked out of a glowing nuclear crater” look.
McFarlane Fallout Vault Boy vs. Previous Vault Boy Figures
If you missed out on the McFarlane Vault Boy Gold Label, this might be your chance to grab a unique version of the same sculpt. The Gold Label edition featured a more traditional paint job, but the McFarlane Fallout Vault Boy Glow in the Dark figure has the added novelty of glowing under UV or complete darkness—a fitting touch for a franchise where radiation is just part of the daily routine.
McFarlane seems to be doubling down on Fallout collectibles lately, with a full Fallout TV show toy line also on the way. If the Glow in the Dark Vault Boy does well, we could see more radioactive variants or even characters straight from the upcoming Amazon series.
McFarlane Vault Boy Figure Release Date & Pre-Order Details
The McFarlane Fallout Vault Boy Glow in the Dark figure is now available for pre-order and will be shipping later this year. As always with limited releases, there’s a real chance of it selling out fast. If you’re looking to buy McFarlane Fallout Vault Boy Glow in the Dark figure online, the best option is to secure a pre-order while stock is still available.
Where to Buy McFarlane Fallout Vault Boy Glow in the Dark
Right now, you can pre-order the figure exclusively at Walmart for $19.99. If you miss the pre-order, finding one post-release could be tricky. Scalpers tend to swarm limited editions like Radroaches on an unattended Nuka-Cola. Keep an eye out on resellers if needed, but expect a higher price for McFarlane Fallout Vault Boy collectible once it’s no longer in stock at retail.
Final Thoughts
McFarlane Toys has been stepping up their Fallout game, and this Glow in the Dark Vault Boy is another great addition to their growing lineup. Whether you’re a die-hard Fallout fan, a toy collector, or just someone who enjoys figures that literally shine in the dark, this one’s worth considering.
