The Brotherhood of Steel Are Coming

 

Standing next to one of the giant Brotherhood of Steel figures is pretty cool. These things are pretty darn big. Here’s a few shots from the booth.

To give you an idea of scale, here’s me aiming a Fat Man at one:

But seeing them lined up a warehouse, preparing to invade various retail stores around the world? Darn near imposing. Hit the jump to see the legions preparing to be crated and boarded.

*jaw drop*

How do I get one?

Wow - reminds me of something out of I, Robot! Only considerably scarier.

:D

Replace those with operational T-51b’s and conquer the world

So awesome! I almost dropped my cookie when I walked by that one in the hallway awhile back…

12 models.
7 are known.
4 live in secret.
1 will be revealed.
Oh yeah, and they have a plan!

No, seriously… These things are awesome… And I thought i was geeked out about the GAME… Now I can’t wait to try to con one out of a game shop owner!!! You guys should totally mass produce a smaller version for the public

Reminds me of a certain Terracotta Army.

@Gstaff
Hey, you guys think we’ll see this as Terrorist propaganda soon?
You know, Al Quaeda preparing to invade the US? :P

@ Edocsil

Probably several will be poking out of dumpsters a few months after release…?

Maybe they will be sold on e-bay.

Hope some of these’ll find their way to Canadian shops too. I’d love to have one, and so would my brother and best friend.

I wonder what they cost to make…

OMG! WANT ONE! I’ll pay you 100!

@Delaric

Nah, they usually get stolen by employees.
One of my friends who works at Rogers Video and EB games steals posters and figures to decorate his apartment. And his friend who works at Blockbuster and EB games does the same thing.
At least that’s what most people I know seem to do.

Possibly the coolest thing I’ve seen all month. You guys are making THESE and all I get is a bobble-head & a lunchbox with my Collectors Edition!?! SHENANAGINS!!!

;)

Forget the game. Make more of those.

Do you accept major credit cards?

I’ll take 5 rocket launchers please.

Wow … just wow. I can’t wait to be staring one of those guys in the face with my collector’s edition in hand … =)

Enough. I can’t wait anymore. I demand you release this game yesterday. I want to already be playing it.

That is awesome, Can i have one with a minigun?

Bethesda is making there retail statue army amazingly cool. Good Job

They’d make surprisingly effective lawn orniments. Shame I don’t have a big enough lawn to put one in. :(

They better not put any in Boston… They’d call out the national guard or something!

A veritable village of lifeless mannequins, reminds me of Oblivion.

Harmless advertising props? LIES!!! These are really genetically engineered super-soldiers being staged by Dick Cheney in preparation for an Armageddon inducing coup!

At least that’s what I’m going to tell my paranoid friends when I forward them the pics. Sorry ’bout the coming firestorm Bethesda, but any advertising is good advertising, right?

;)

@ Princess Stomper

All they need are some Robocop sound bytes:

“Drop your weapon. You have ten seconds to comply.”

Gotta save one of these for a contest

I’ll give ya a 1000 in u.s. currency.. lol seriously tho.. those look pretty awesome and expensive to manufacture.. especially only to be stolen by a an employee or desperate enough fan to break some windows.. good stuff

RUN PETE HINES! RUN!

Wowee! Reminds me of a huge HR GIGER ALIEN statue i once saw at a comic book convention years ago.

Stunning to say the least how Bethesda is pulling out all the stops to get FALLOUT 3 promoted. Its like the advertising is a glorious joyful game in itself.

Time to announce the $900 FA3 CE :)

I assure you the cost of one of those statues is well north of that Apache. :)

Holy shit!

Would it be possible to replace the lunchbox with one of these instead? :D

How can I buy one of these?Hopefully its $200 or less.

Ok, let’s get to the point:

How much do you want me to pay for the whole gang (all 60of’m)? Including Rocketlaunchers!

So, how heavy would you say these are?

Also, what are their dimensions and how would one (or two) move one easily? Just thinking logistics, you know……for school or something..

Very heavy. With the one we had at our office, we were using more than two people.

I’d put one by the front door of my apartment in case of a break in. Instead of worrying about replacing expensive stolen electronics after some one breaks down the door, you’d just need to worry about getting the stains from where the intruder pissed themselves cleaned up.

Seeing as everything Fallout is really in demand I suggest you guys try to score a deal with DC Direct or some other high quality maker of action figures.

Those would sell like HOTCAKES.

omg that is awesome i would love to get one. too bad i don’t got money to even pre-order the game :(

If you guys end up auctioning these statues off or something, you’re gonna need to put a huge peel-off sticker on their chests that says:

“Heavy Lift Machinery Required.”

If my Pip-Boy comes with VATS I know how I’ll grapple the one from my local Gamestop XD

yeah,

very impressive

I am so stealing it when it comes to gamestation

I want one. It would be standing outside my office door, like a guard. I would love him and hug him and call him George.

Can’t wait for Fallout 3 for PS3. Looks awesome!

Holy Crap - Store Standees? Are they here in MD?

I’m a retailer, I have a toy and video game store, how do we get these???

Dear Bethesda,

I would like to purchase or get a hold of one of these life size satues of a brotherhood of steel soilder in power armor for my collection of fallout stuff dating back to when fallout first came out. Would this be possible after the game comes out and if not what $$$ would change your mind? What will be done to these once the game is out in retail for a long time?

Thank you,
Joseph M

So, here we have the Microsoft money from the 360/PC DLC exclusivity? Man, what an army you could make with a full Fallout 3 exclusivity for the Redmond guys.

I’m curious, do stores and establishments have to purchase these, or are they paid for by Bethesda and considered a marketing expense of the game?

And like everyone else… I really do want one… I’m sure we’ll see it on eBay not too long afterwards.

Pete, might I suggest that Bethesda do a Fallout Charity Auction for one of these puppies, I’d be willing to go into the 4 digit range to get one if the proceeds went to a good cause.

“A veritable village of lifeless mannequins, reminds me of Oblivion.”

So true !

0_0 Give me two

So when does the contest or charity event to give one of these away start? I’d happily donate to a charity to get even a chance at one of those awesome statues.

Oh, yes…. I will be needing one of those. Seriously, you need to think about making them available to super fans like us.

So, THIS is the way the world ends?

Me and my Warrior Nation bro’s will take 2,500 at $1,000 a piece.

thats so freaking cool i haven’t words for it!!! please tell me there will be listings of what stores have them, because if i do not get a picture of myself with one i will have lived a sad and unfulfilled life. also, i would pay anything for one, and the charity auction is a great idea.

Can anyone from Bethesda email me to tell me if one of these is coming to my local gamestop Please!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Is this the bobblehead from my pre-order Survival edition? Knew I should have pre-ordered 2 :) Sure got a deal on that super saver shipping anyway.

1000 candidates (all wearing power armour and armed with the latest technology)
but only 1 job
who will be the next APPRENTICE

statues cool ,actual suits of armor that could wear to scare my friends even better.

@Jacob: I don’t know how much you have in the way of balls, but I’d risk destroying one of those bad boys for some kick-ass armor.

Oh, and if you feel like slipping one out the door for a poor college student, I’m sure I can do something in return… Like not have to steal one or barter with a grumpy shop owner.

*activates Sneak, Lockpick, Science*

Got it unhooked, but… Great, they’re too heavy to move - my STR is only 6. Can anyone spare a +4 STR? We can fight over it “later”… *readies frag grenade, places 10mm SMG 30/30 AP in second slot*

I’ll donate a kidney for one of the life sized statues

I smell a movie

Do these come in Enclave style or just the standard B.O.S.? I wonder what a super mutant statue would look like… or a RobCo robot…

ive been playing fallout for 2 days now and i havent slept a minute dudes this is basically oblivion remade into the future it doesent matter because the game is still kickass and awesome and i will never get bored i mean its virtually impossible to get bored when playing this…seriously

Something to say?
