As a franchise and series, Fallout has been around for a long time. It’s most recent iteration, Fallout 76, was definitely a divisive entry in the series, but there are tons of memorable characters found in every Fallout game. Luckily, fans and collectors can take home miniature versions of these characters thanks to Funko Inc. creating Funko Pop! Vinyl versions of the well-known characters. Each stylized figure has its own value, year of release, and status of whether it’s still being produced or not.
All information for the Funko Pops comes from PPG (Pop Price Guide) which is known for giving accurate estimates for the worth of the figures. These Fallout characters have gotten the Funko Pop! treatment with adorable versions of the characters in-game, and mainly focus on the player characters as well as fun companions and even one corporate mascot. Price estimates are subject to change depending on demand and availability.

Technically, a vault dweller is anyone in the Fallout universe that lives in a Vault-Tec vault. However, the Vault Dweller is actually the playable protagonist of the first Fallout game, as well as the player character of Fallout 76. The Vault Dweller (Male) and Vault Dweller (Female) Funko Pops were released in 2018 and are now vaulted, and a version of the Vault Dweller from Fallout 76 was released in 2019 but is also vaulted.
There are two versions of the original male Vault Dweller; the first is holding a Nuka Cola bottle and is valued at $9; the second was a GameStop exclusive of him holding Mentats and is valued at $10. The female Vault Dweller only got one Pop figure, which is valued at $6 and holding a Stimpack. The Fallout 76 Vault Dweller has a value of $9.
The Lone Wanderer is the player character of Fallout 3, and can be male or female depending on how the player designs them. There were two Funko Pops created for the Lone Wanderer, male or female, but there were also two variations of them wearing their Power Armor without a helmet. The Lone Wanderer (Male), Lone Wanderer (Female), and the male Lone Wanderer wearing the Power Armor were all released in 2015 and are now vaulted, meaning they’re no longer in production.
The only one still available is the female Lone Wanderer in her Power Armor, which was released in 2016 as a GameStop exclusive and is valued at $9. The Lone Wanderer (Male) is worth $9, the Power Armor version of him is worth $20 and was a New York Comic Con (NYCC) exclusive, and the Lone Wanderer (Female) is valued at $10.
The protagonist and playable character of Fallout 4, the Sole Survivor is on a quest to find their son, Shaun, and avenge their dead partner. The player can choose to be a male or female Sole Survivor, but Funko only made what seems to be the male version of the character. The Funko Pop! released in 2015, is currently vaulted, and is valued at $5.
The Fallout series has seen a few different iterations of Dogmeat, ranging back to the first Fallout game. However, this Funko Pop! is a mini version of the Dogmeat featured in Fallout 4, and definitely looks like an adorable German Shepard, just like the dog in-game. This Pop had two versions - a regular and a flocked.
The regular Dogmeat figure is currently vaulted, originally released in 2015, and is valued at $10. The flocked, or “fuzzy,” version of Dogmeat was a GameStop exclusive released in 2016, is currently still available, and is valued at $27.

Nick Valentine is introduced in Fallout 4 and is a synthetic private detective in Diamond City. At one point, Nick is a temporary companion, but can become a permanent one to the Sole Survivor if players choose him to be. His Funko Pop! released in 2016 and is vaulted, with a value of $29. Though he’s got a lot of romantic potential, Nick Valentine is unfortunately not romanceable in the game. However, he grants players a unique perk when the friendship is maxed out, so it’s still worthwhile getting to know him.
Though her full name is Piper Wright, her Funko figure only advertises her first name. Piper is a reporter in Diamond City and makes her debut appearance in Fallout 4, and can be a companion for the Sole Survivor. She can also be a romantic interest if the player has a high enough relationship with her. Her figure came out in 2016, is no longer in production, and is valued at $13.
Another possible Fallout 4 companion, Paladin Danse is a Synth and commanding officer of the Recon Squad Gladius, a unit in the Brotherhood of Steel. Just like Piper, Danse’s Funko figure released in 2016, is vaulted, but has a higher value at $16. Also like Piper, Danse can be a romantic interest for the player if they so choose. To keep the relationship with Danse on good terms, it’s best for the player to side with the Brotherhood when push comes to shove, lest they lose him as a companion and romantic interest.
Hancock was originally born John McDonough and appears in Fallout 4. Players can choose to romance the ghoul if they want, and he is a permanent companion to the Sole Survivor. His Funko Pop! figure released in 2015, is vaulted, and is valued at $8.
Nuka-Girl first makes her debut in Fallout 4, but also returns in Fallout 76 as the mascot for the Nuka-Cola corporation. The latter game was actually the Funko series she debuted with, and she’s currently still available as a GameStop exclusive figure. Unlike the other figures, she sits rather than stands. Nuka-Girl originally released in 2019 and is currently valued at $12.
Fallout has introduced players to a wide variety of playable characters and memorable companions throughout all of the games in the series. Fallout 76 was the franchise’s latest endeavor, but there could always be more on the horizon for the series and developer. However, so far there seems to be no news about any new upcoming Funko Pop! Vinyls.
Fallout 76 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
