Bethesda Announces New Limited Edition Pip Boy and DOOM Floppy Disk


New collectibles for DOOM and Fallout have been announced over at Bethesda Gear!

First, we’ll take a look at the latest variant of the Pip-Boy Mk VI.

The Pip-Boy replicas are highly upgradeable and easily modified. Sadly, Bethesda’s Gear shop is often sold out of the officially licensed add-ons. For $180, the Vault-Tec Limited Edition Pip-Boy looks excellent even if you cannot readily add new parts like a functional FM radio. The non-functioning screen lights up and flickers. The metal spring filament-lit vacuum tubes do the same.

Only 2,200 of these Pip-Boys are being produced. However, considering the other versions have been sold out for a while, it may be worth picking one up to resell later. Each Pip-Boy is individually numbered and is expected to ship this April.

The Vault-Tec Limited Edition Pip-Boy 2000 comes with the following features and accessories:

  • Only 2,200 worldwide
  • Individually-numbered
  • Includes Certificate of Authenticity
  • Button on top box powers up display and vacuum tubes
  • Display screen lights up, and vacuum tubes illuminate (with metal spring filament inside)
  • Display and vacuum tubes periodically flicker, replicating a loose internal connection – tapping the top of the Pip-Boy “cures” the flickering.

DOOM turns 30 this year! So Bethesda is offering up a 30th Anniversary Limited Commemorative Floppy Disk for those who remember installing the legendary FPS! Yes, there was a time when we had to install games on 3.5″ floppy disks slowly. Then we’d copy the disks and give them out to our friends.

The $25 disks are a zinc alloy and feature antique copper plating. The collectible replicates the V1.2 floppy pretty well. The details are all there, including the mechanics on the back of the old storage medium.

Each disk is individually numbered and comes in a box decorated with the original DOOM’s cover art.

Only 1,993 of these are being made, and they already appear to be sold out.
