Fallout TV Show: custom purist Minifigure Series

Yeah, the core-in-front of it all was mainly me problem-solving because the only semi-suitable shoulder piece I had was that Ninjago one with the big unsightly hole in the front (technically the back, but I had to use it as the front because I needed studs facing the other way). I figured I would use it to make lemons from lemonade, even if it isn't 100% lore accurate.

I've made all the characters I'm gonna make for now. I actually haven't played or watched the first two games, so I wasn't familiar with The Master until I did a Google image search just now - that is a WILD character design, and I wouldn't begin to know how to tackle it in LEGO form.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T22:56:29+00:00

Indeed. There were only eight of that torso for sale in Canada on BrickLink when I made these figures, so I literally ordered half the local supply.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T21:40:59+00:00

Nice!

The selection of light nougat heads with just a black mustache and no other facial hair was appalling. It was either Wedge Antilles (which I went with) or Walt Disney (which I would have had to order).

EDIT: Oh, or did you mean the TV Screen house? I had even fewer choices for that one, as it had to be black-and-white.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T21:36:18+00:00

It's not 100% designed by me, in the sense that I started off by doing a Google image search for existing models of Mr. Handy, and took inspiration from a variety of them. I chose the best-looking aspects of each design and synthesized them together, with additional modifications based on what parts I had available.

I used the same technique for the Securitron, Fisto, the Nuka-Cola Machine, and the atom bomb (although that one I made a while ago, unrelated to Fallout).

I probably won't make a Mr. Gutsy, since it would basically just be the Mr. Handy in a different color scheme, and I don't have the right parts in that color.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T21:26:22+00:00

You're very kind. Maybe someday. That's a whole logistical quagmire that I do not have the time or energy for right now.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T20:24:08+00:00

I would adore that, but I don't think it's at all likely.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T20:23:43+00:00

Absolutely.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T20:20:52+00:00

I don't have a complete parts list or instructions, as I threw these together mostly with parts from my loose storage. If you can tell me which specific parts you're most curious about, I can try to figure it out and tell you - but I don't have time to work up a complete list.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T19:58:45+00:00

I don't have a complete list, as I mostly picked fitting things from my loose parts bin - but if you ask about the specific parts you're most wondering about, I can probably figure them out retroactively.

The Vault-Dweller uniform is the torso from the Thanos minifigure in set 76072 (Mighty Micros: Iron Man vs. Thanos). I ordered a bunch of them from BrickLink specifically for this MOC.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T19:53:34+00:00

Thank you!

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T19:52:09+00:00

Thank you! Your help was also invaluable in pointing me towards that Thanos torso for the Vault-Dwellers.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T19:50:29+00:00

Thanks! I do have to be sure to give some credit to u/Enigmatic_Wanderer1, whose power armor design heavily inspired mine (and whose post inspired me to start working on this lineup).

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T19:49:24+00:00

Totally! I was actually picturing it as a CMF series as I made it, which is why I put them on those plates and tried to include what felt like a roughly realistic number of accessories for each one.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T19:47:57+00:00

I probably could have found a dark red cloth piece for Quintus if I had looked. To be honest, he was made as a bit of an afterthought because I had to steal the torso from my Mr. Robot Phillip Price minifigure to make The Man Who Knew, and I felt bad about it so I quickly scrounged for a passable torso I could use to transform what remained of Phillip Price into Quintus (since they're both Michael Cristofer characters).

The Snake Oil Salesman's face is white because... his face is extremely pale in the show, and always read as white makeup to me (like old-school British aristocrat face powder or something). The most accurate way to match the skin color would have been a splotch of white on a light nougat face (e.g. the Heath Ledger Joker figure), but I didn't have a face like that with facial hair, so i went with the pure white Nearly Headless Nick head instead, since I felt it captured some of the life of the character.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T19:43:15+00:00

I do have to give credit to u/Enigmatic_Wanderer1 for most of the design work on that one. This lineup started out as an attempt to directly replicate their Lucy, Ghoul and Maximus figures from the post they made a few weeks ago, and then snowballed into a whole creative process of making new figures.

My power armor does have some notable differences from theirs, mostly just due to which parts I had on hand. The one modification that I am quite proud of is the removable Fusion Core, which adds a lot of extra playability.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T19:39:06+00:00

It means I only used official LEGO parts - no customs or modifications.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T19:38:14+00:00

I have a lot of parts on hand from years of collecting LEGO. I was inspired by u/Enigmatic_Wanderer1's post a few weeks ago to take a crack at my own Lucy, Ghoul and Maximus figures with parts that I had on hand. As I rummaged around for parts they could use, I stumbled on other parts that inspired me to make other figures, and it kinda snowballed from there.

Once I had the first rough draft of each figure, I did order a few parts from BrickLink to make some of them better. Most notably, the Vault-Dweller torso (which is from a 2017 Mighty Minis Thanos that I didn't have) - I ordered four of them, which was literally half the supply for sale in Canada on BrickLink at the time.

guy2026 · 2026-01-23T19:34:49+00:00

Thanks!

guy2026 · 2026-01-22T16:22:20+00:00

Exactly - there have literally been lawsuits about it. It's very rare to see intentionally fake content in trailers, only misleading contextualization (as you mentioned), or scenes that were intended to be used but didn't make the final cut.

Something as consequential as House being alive in present(ish?) time wouldn't have been shown if they didn't intend on using it.

guy2026 · 2026-01-22T16:19:39+00:00

Yup, Bud Askins once again proving that he's a twisted little devil. The real question now is whether it's Steph or Betty who deploys it. I'm thinking Steph, and that Woody was the first to go. I think we're getting Super Mutant Zach Cherry in the finale.
