Bethesda Left Jaw-Dropped by Fully Functional $300 Pip-Boy 3000 Replica with Switchable Fallout 3 and New Vegas Modes

Fallout fans can finally strap on a real, working Pip-Boy 3000. The Wand Company has revealed a 1:1 wearable replica created in official partnership with Bethesda, and it does far more than sit on a shelf. This isn’t a hollow prop—it’s a fully functioning Pip-Boy loaded with authentic interface elements, entries, and details inspired by Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. Even the developers were reportedly stunned to see the game’s iconic wrist computer brought to life so faithfully.

Pre-orders are open now through the Bethesda Gear Store at $299.99, with shipments slated for June 2026.

The replica nails the look and feel right down to the screen. A 4-inch IPS LCD has been tuned to mimic a vintage CRT, complete with soft glow and optional flicker that you can playfully “fix” with a tap or shake thanks to a built-in accelerometer. Prefer a cleaner look? You can disable the effect in settings. You can also switch the HUD between Fallout 3’s classic green and New Vegas’s brown colorways.

The accelerometer isn’t just for immersion. Tilt the unit while wearing it and you’ll unlock a faux Geiger counter experience that detects microwave radiation rather than hazardous ionizing radiation, preserving safety while capturing the vibe of Wasteland exploration. The device also doubles as an FM radio for real-world listening.

True to the series, the Pip-Boy 3000 comes with the full Atomic Command holotape mini-game, letting you defend American landmarks from incoming nukes. There’s practical utility as well: a bright rear LED torch for cosplay or late-night expeditions, an ultra-dim night mode so it can serve as an alarm clock, and a 3.5mm headphone jack for private audio. Charging is handled via USB-C.

Comfort and display are thoughtfully handled. An adjustable memory-foam cuff keeps the 724g unit wearable for longer sessions, whether you’re at a convention or working on your own build in the workshop. When you’re not wearing it, the included aluminum Vault-Tec stand both displays and charges the Pip-Boy. While docked, a vacuum-tube-inspired orange glow pulses through the base and lights up the Vault-Tec logo for a museum-worthy presentation.

Materials were chosen to balance authenticity and practicality. The gunmetal die-cast metal front can develop chips and wear for that signature post-apocalyptic patina, while the main body uses injection-molded ABS to keep the overall weight manageable without sacrificing durability.
