Fallout: Maximus Collection Brings Lucy, Maximus and the Ghoul to Shelves in December
Dark Horse is putting the Fallout television cast on a shelf. Lucy, Maximus and the Ghoul each get a premium PVC statue in a collection made with Amazon, arriving in December.
The Maximus Collection is three pieces sold separately. Lucy and the Ghoul are $49.99 each, Maximus is $54.99, and all three together land at roughly $155 before the $15 discount Dark Horse is running on a combined pre-order.
Maximus is the largest at 10 inches including his base, standing in Power Armor with a swappable head for anyone who would rather see the character’s face than the helmet. Lucy and the Ghoul are both 7.5 inches. Each base carries the show’s logo on the front, and Lucy’s has a dead radroach on it, which is the kind of detail that decides whether a licensed statue is worth the money.
Lucy’s figure is already up for sale on the Dark Horse website. The Ghoul and Maximus statues are listed for pre-order with shipping estimated between November and December 2026, which in practice means December. I keep doing the arithmetic on $155 and landing on the same answer, which is that three PVC figures cost more than the entire back catalogue of games they are standing in for.
The statues are the affordable end of the current merchandise run. Stern Pinball revealed a Fallout table line in October that starts at $7,299 for the Pro model and reaches $13,999 for the Limited Edition, with a working Pip-Boy on the cabinet, a Fat Man shooting gallery and a sculpted Deathclaw on the top tier. That machine is themed around the show as well, with the player picking Lucy, the Ghoul or Maximus. Amazon’s series, not the games, is what the licensing department is selling right now. I have no objection to merchandise existing, but a cabinet priced like a used car and a 7.5-inch radroach are the two Fallout products with firm December availability.
The games are still in the announcement phase. Bethesda confirmed Fallout 5 is in pre-production on Creation Engine 3 in July, along with remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas that arrived with no dates attached and have not picked any up since.

Obsidian is building its own entry, reportedly at the scale of New Vegas rather than a spin-off, with speculation pointing at a Chicago setting. Todd Howard has said Fallout 5 may take cues from the Amazon series, a plan that reads differently now that the next Fallout to ship will not be his.

Reporting last year raised the prospect of another Fallout game by inXile Entertainment once Clockwork Revolution ships in 2027, and the reasoning is straightforward, because studio founder Brian Fargo helped create the original game. Jez Corden put it no higher than incubation.
“that could potentially be Fallout-adjacent as well”
— Jez Corden
Bethesda had numbers to hand instead of dates. Fallout 4 has passed 35 million copies more than a decade after release, Fallout Shelter has passed 250 million players, and a Fallout 76 expansion called Raven Rock is set for 2027 as a prequel to Fallout 3. The Amazon series is heading into a third season. None of that is a new single-player Fallout, and there has not been one since 2015.
Nothing on that list has a release date. What does have one is the merchandise, which is the inversion the franchise has been living with for two years: a television show mid-run, a pinball cabinet at five figures, three statues shipping before Christmas, and four games in various stages of not existing yet.
The alternative is still sitting there for nothing. Fallout: New California, the New Vegas total conversion that spent a decade in development, moved onto GOG this summer and installs in one click if you own New Vegas Ultimate Edition. It is a prequel set in 2260 with its own faction map, and it costs nothing on top of a game that is permanently on sale. I would rather the franchise’s December release were something I could install than something I would have to dust.
Pre-orders for all three statues are open now, and Dark Horse lists the discount only for buying the set. The Ghoul and Maximus are the two still waiting on a ship date.
