Fallout fans have become very familiar with long waits between new games. It has now been more than ten years since the last mainline Fallout title was released, and there is still no clear release date for the next major entry. However, fans of the series will have something new to add to their collections in 2027, as Bethesda has announced a new Nuka-Girl statue based on one of Fallout's most recognizable characters.

The new collectible is officially available for pre-order through the Bethesda Store. Called the Fallout Nuka-Girl Rocketsuit statue, the figure is designed around the Nuka-Cola mascot and features her in a classic space-themed outfit. She can be seen holding a space helmet in one hand and a bottle of Nuka-Cola in the other, while standing beside a rocket ship.

The statue is also built around a large bottle cap base, giving it another clear connection to the Fallout universe. The rocket behind Nuka-Girl is surrounded by a smoke effect, which helps give the piece a more dynamic appearance rather than making it look like a simple standing figure.

At 12.8 inches tall, the statue is made at a 1/6 scale. It weighs around 1.72 pounds and uses ABS and PVC materials. Bethesda has listed the price at $159.99, making it a fairly expensive collectible but one that could appeal to fans looking for a larger display piece for their gaming room or Fallout collection.

The company currently expects the statue to begin shipping in March 2027. As with many collectibles that are announced well ahead of release, however, that date is not guaranteed. Production or shipping problems could potentially push the release back. Photos of the statue show a high level of detail, particularly around the Nuka-Girl character, rocket and smoke effects. The design also captures the retro-futuristic style that has been a major part of Fallout's identity since the beginning. The series often mixes ideas from 1950s American culture with futuristic technology, and Nuka-Girl is one of the clearest examples of that style.

Nuka-Girl has become a popular character among Fallout fans over the years. Because of that popularity, this is not the first collectible based on the character. Different companies have produced their own versions of Nuka-Girl, giving collectors several interpretations of the mascot.

The Rocketsuit statue stands out by combining her usual appearance with the space theme that is often seen throughout Fallout's fictional advertising and artwork. The combination of the rocket, helmet, Nuka-Cola bottle and bottle cap base makes it an easy fit for fans who enjoy the stranger and more colorful side of the Fallout universe.

Of course, a new statue is not quite what most fans are hoping for. The Fallout community is still waiting for another mainline game. The most recent major entry, Fallout 4, was released in 2015, while Bethesda's online game Fallout 76 has continued receiving updates and new content.

The franchise has also gained a lot of attention thanks to the success of the Fallout television series. The show introduced the world of Fallout to many new viewers and helped bring additional interest to the games. At the same time, regular updates have kept Fallout 76 active for its existing player base.

There is also some promising news about future Fallout projects. Bethesda has confirmed that four Fallout games are currently in development. However, the company has not provided release dates or even windows for these projects, so fans should not expect them anytime soon.

Until more information arrives, the Nuka-Girl Rocketsuit statue gives Fallout fans another way to celebrate the series. At $159.99, it will not be an impulse purchase for everyone, but collectors who like the character may find it a worthwhile addition while waiting for the next game.
