One thing i really appreciate is that not only did he do that interview with you talking about the different props but also showing the prototypes and now this full look of some of the functionality and features for the pip-boy while giving details for the final product it's really awesome to see a prop company do this.
The thing is it's not a prop "company" it's a mad dedicated dude who loves making props and he loves to share and he started a "company" to pay for his passion. If it had any corporate overseers we would never get to see prototypes. I hope they never go full corporate.
From a manufacturing perspective it was cool he told us those were the “tooled” samples he received. Basically those are coming from the production molds they paid thousands of dollars to create to produce these. Seems like they’re mostly buttoning up the odds and ends now before launching.
So happy they are adding an actual FM radio to it. I have such a deep appreciation for the Wand Company, they care about their customers. They're working so hard on this, and im forever grateful.
I'd like a Bluetooth speaker, I modified a couple of the Pip-Boy 300 Mk VI kits to play Bluetooth, and I have a complete playlist on my phone of all of the music from 3, 4, and NV (including announcements by the DJs).
I'm so glad they didn't pursue this route. It would add so much cost, all for something that would break in less than 10 years due to lacking firmware maintenance. It's absolutely perfect as a standalone device. My wish is that they include a way to customize some of the firmware/audio via the USB-C cable, but I'm perfectly content with them not making it more expensive for something as dystopian as phone notifications wth
@toasty4000000 can't argue with that. I don't know how much tech they can cram in it to begin with and without updates it would surely fail. But, your idea sounds more feasible to be done. Heck, they aren't don't tinkering with what they can still do from the sound of it and since there is already a port won't hurt to give it a shot. Either way, it was a no Brainer to grab it at that price point. (I'm not missing the chance again to get it)
They’ve seriously knocked it out of the park with this Pipboy. I’m very satisfied with all the functions it has built into it. I seriously can’t wait for mine in hand. Also the box is very well designed.
I’ve ordered mine but please add a flash light even if it’s just a simple led, it would be so useful to have a wrist mounted light and have both hands free. I would use it if i need water, to let the dog out or going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. And even better if it had different colours of light like red and green to make it easier on the eyes at night 👍
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO YESS Edit: after watching the video I personally feel the weathering should be kept to a minimum. if the props supposed to be brand new then it should be clean. and hey if people want a dirty pip-boy its not hard to do. either way it looks amazing!
I agree completely! Like new with slight aging would be perfect in my eyes. Yeah, if they want it weathered they can do it themselves with relative ease. I plan on making this my new bedside clock so a cleaner one is gonna look better from my perspective
I had the biggest smile on my face while you were showing off the prototype, it is everything I hoped for and more. I knew The Wand Company were good, but this is next level. The fact that all the knobs will be fully functional and actually work to control the various functions is so fantastic to see, and of course the FM radio is incredible. Seeing it next to the actual screen worn prop is so cool, it's so accurate and well executed to the point that they could probably use it as the actual screen prop for season 2!
@@EyebrowBandit They did the same thing with Ghostbusters Afterlife and the Rubies ghost traps, which is why those traps are nowhere to be seen nowadays.
@@MassiveDMG I know of a few things they've done in the past that were pretty awesome so it's really cool to see them tackle this too. I feel bad cause originally I thought it was thinkgeek doing it originally.
Glad to see the FM tuner will be a part of this. Only thing that would make this better is to have a micro SD card slot hidden under the cuff to allow us to play out own music through using the scan forward/backward knob function for next/previous track/fastforward/rewind. Other option could be bluetooth link for music but i know its been said the blue tooth function is a pita, the micro sd card for media would be a easier option.
I really hope they get permission to make a fully working 2000 again!! Maybe for fallout 5 or the potential new one that maybe might probably not get made
I hope to GOD they add a Bluetooth module to it to connect to phones..... And if the Geiger counter, instead of color to indicate battery level, it could be the actual counter itself.
I'd like to see a working pipboy like this, but it works as a handheld gaming device. They could create a working holotape slot and sell separate holotape cartridges (similar to gameboy cartridges) with the minigames you can find throughout fallout 4/76, maybe even blank holotapes you can record voice memos onto. This is super cool already and gets me really excited to see if something like that is implemented lol
As great as the Tested interview was, I really appreciate your up close and personal look at the devices, which was something Adam wasn't quite able to do through his clear excitement. I really wanted a careful look at the latest prototypes, which was exactly what you did here. Sent my preorder last month, can't wait until these finally ship!
I just realized, it would be sick if the EXT TERMINAL menu was used as like a notepad terminal, using the dial to scroll through the letters, numbers, and symbols to make sentences, and shopping lists.
i can't wait to get mine! The Tested video and this one have got me so hyped! I really liked lingering close-ups, particularly of the Lucy prop. That's gonna help with my distressing!
It has more functions than I expected. And it’s great that all the knobs do something. The screen itself looks nice. My only gripe is the squished rad meter shape. And hopefully they retain rights to update the firmware unlike Thinkgeek.
We won't be seeing ours until February though unfortunately. If you ordered after April something (I forgot the specific day) then we have to wait for the 2nd run which apparently is shipping in February. Kinda sucks.
I'm so excited to get this. The Wand Company is going above & beyond on these. I preordered mine about a month ago, they can take as much time as they want bc this is absolutley killing it! Amazing job guys!
This is awesome, even more impressive is the great footage of Ella's screen worn prop!!! Will definitely be coming back to this video when it comes time to weather my own!!!
I have to say dude!! A big thank you to you and to Chris for showing us this!!! Your both legends 👌👌👌 it’s awesome and can’t wait to get mine haha 👌👌 dude your channel is awesome 👌 I’m starting to watch some of your older vids aswell as I’m quite a new subscriber 👌👌
I found my comment at 0:36 So i knew that making the other models was very hard work, but after watching your interviews and other videos i found out that it was even harder than i originaly thought and now i'm happy i didd'nt have any complaints and still am perfecly happy with the 2 other pip boys that i own, hope they keep up the good work and i will be enjoying the 3000 mk v when my order ships.
This is super cool and I can't wait to get mine (I've never been this excited for a collectible), but I will say I'm mildly disappointed we seemingly can't freely explore the menus and are instead locked into the prebaked animations (I was hoping to explore the map and maybe have a customizable inventory or something). I also kinda wish it came in a Pip-Boy crate like we saw in Fallout 4, but I recognize that would likely be improbable for the price point and iirc there were no rounded Vault-Tec crates in the show (I'll just buy a secondhand collector's edition crate so it's no biggie anyway). But other than that, this looks straight up perfect.
Oh and one other thing that's not really about the product and rather about the screen used props, I'm curious as to what the flashlight variant of the Pip-Boy looks like, since the hero prop has no indication of a flashlight
From what I understand it's going to be faster to move the knob through the animations, but don't expect a full Operating System running on it. Remember, the 2000 kit was just a sticker.
My son cannot wait to get the Pip-boy! He asked me to suggest that there be a playlist of songs on the Pip-boy that go through Fallout's best songs and say "21st Century Hits" or something like that. He thinks that would be so neat in the Fallout universe to have these "time capsule" songs that predate 2077. Thank you for reading!!! He just loves your channel and Fallout!
@@YourGeekFix Nonetheless, we are super stoked for all the features. Thank you for your hard work and hank you for the reply. That was a nice treat for my son.
Definitely buying this combo, for example those car accessory 12V models + indoor socket transformer. Some fm transmitters even have usb ports to playback usb sticks, so infinite radio play without even bluetooth.
Brilliant, i’m gonna get a usb or aux one and just set that up, no bluetooth required just straight fallout radios, voice clips adjusted for current choices/level of course
Okay, here's my plan for cons: Step 1: Load a media player up with custom pre-recorded, in-world radio broadcast stuff. Step 2: Connect an FM transmitter to the media player and stash it in my pocket or backpack or something. Step 3: Use the FM tuner in the Pip-Boy to tune into the FM transmitter Step 4: Strut The scratchiness of the transmitter signal will give it an authentic sound, and any other vault dwellers with this thing can tune in and jam out as well. I am pumped. My poor 3d printer has been running constantly churning out FO props for a photoshoot as a DIRECT RESULT of my securing this preorder.
I'd be curious to see the inside of this thing. See the electronics and determine if it can be modded further. Spare space to add custom things and extend the menus or whatever. Fallout players are huge modders so it would be sweet to see if they have something we can work with or not. Either way, looking forward to getting hands on with this.
@@YourGeekFix Yes, lets. Start with getting a bubble faced display made by one of the flat panel display makers so there is no gap between the bubbled surface and the "phosphors". You know... an LCD version of a CRT. A lookalike. It needs enough battery in it to last through a 6 hour play session. They must have given you a lot of the "software" (firmware?) to have those animations and screens etc. They should take it a step further and invest in you. I am sure you made millions on the pre-sale. Either that or y'all just skipped me on the delivery.
There is 0 space in this. Credit card thin. Only two inch screen. This is half scale of previous pipboy. There is no way to flash or port the board. Sorry
A part of me wants it to have Bluetooth or a Bluetooth extension like the Pipboy 2000 Mark VI Stand so we could put our favorite songs from the wasteland. Even though they may not have the budget for that rn or ever I just wanted to leave out a suggestion and I can’t wait for this pipboy
Would love to see an added mini SD/SD Card slot to add our own fallout themed music playlists. But otherwise this pipboy is coming along very nicely and the teams working on this aught to be very proud of their hard work, as I can see many along with myself are super pleased with the progression towards the final product ❤ thanks for this review awesome seeing it up close
One thing I just thought of is the map section of the menu. Does it actually work like a GPS or is it just a recreation of the map from the show? It’d honestly be incredible if it functions as a real GPS-style map.
I’m personally in favor of a yellowish light on the radio and Geiger counter! This light is a bit too bright of a green. I don’t know about the other colors it has, but I have a tendency to keep my stuff well charged, so I’ll mostly see the out of universe green. I’m okay with a typical battery display on the screen. I also know it impossible to perfectly please every customer!
Imagine if this thing can be fully synchronize with in game pip-boy, press TAB and do it in real time. Gonna be a little bit complicated to use but worth the experience.
That is awesome, only thingni would like in addition to the radio and excerpts is a local playlist with fallout songs on it! Also did he mention anything about water resistant ratings?
Did The Wand Company do these kind of hands on prototype reviews with anyone before? (not just the Pip-boys) Getting to see new features added during these early models builds up the hype even more (just plain good marketing), AND they seem to be listening closely to the community for ideas. Hope they keep this up, can't wait to get my hands on this one!
I think we got very lucky that Jeromy and Chris hit it off during Jeromy's 2000 kit modding days. That's how James and I got involved with him and the channel; modding Pip Boys after seeing his episodes.
Is it gonna get delayed? I don’t really know how this kinda thing works, but I’m surprised we’re not looking at the final build yet if it’s supposed to come out later this year.
Idk how much control the user would have over the animations but i’d like to have a lot, random cycling animations aren’t my cup of tea. also the ability to add our own radio music files would be fantastic
Hoping they add multiple in game radio stations... Noticed the prototype said diamond city radio but was playing the one from the show, would be cool to hear fo4, Vegas or 76 tracks
@@YourGeekFix i guess we'll see. what i personally hope for is to be able to store stuff on it like some kind of external hard drive, stream music and maybe video from a phone or possibly a internal storage device like i just mentionned. lastly change the color of the display if it's able to display colors other than green. I'm in the process of modding a pipboy 3000 mk4 from the release of fallout 4 to add more LED, internal charging of the phone, stuff like that, and i'm hoping such mods become possible over time on this one. out of the box it will already more functional than any previous pipboys (except maybe the bluetooth one, couldn't really find one), so i guess even if it's a dead end modding-wise it will still make for a good clock/cosplay piece.
I’m just going to say it: Add the bluecoat. Go with all 3 levels of distressing. It really adds to the authenticity of the overall look. The bluecoat is the difference between looking almost like a toy you’d expect to see and the true-to-screen final product used on the show.
honestly, the detail and build is super impressive and at that point the price surprises me, for that point, knowing what a $60 smartwatch can do these days in a smaller form factor than this, the only reason i don't expect better features is again, the price
I wouldn't mind wearing one of these blasting diamond city radio away going on about my day, if I see anyone doing that I'd be jealous asf wonder how heavy they are.
Should add a “holo tape” slot, maybe a way to put a cassette tape in a holo tape cover and make it work somehow but it’d be cool to have a holo tape to throw in the pip boy with more music or an 8 bit type of game
Picture a holotape with a small SSD chip in it with MP3s on it. Plugs in upon insertion. About the size (read appearance) of a 3.5 inch floppy but smaller and maybe twice as thick. It could easily have been incorporated and then the flat circuit mainboard PCB would have a spot just under that holotape slot wall. Heck, the whole thing should have just been made as a Linux Tiny PC complete with HDMI out, etc. AND THEN incorporate as many of the Pip-Boy external features as possible and then run the Pip-Boy app once the Linux or Android boots up. Then the only problem for the thing would have been the screen and 'cursor' control setup(s). Heck, I could take apart my CuBox and shove it all in there. Hey! Send me an additional shell (with the arm pads installed) so I can make a $500 pip-boy that outdoes your $250 pip-boy.

For me I got it to replace my broken thinkgeek pipboy
How much is it?

A part of me wants it to have Bluetooth or a Bluetooth extension like the Pipboy 2000 Mark VI Stand so we could put our favorite songs from the wasteland. Even though they may not have the budget for that rn or ever I just wanted to leave out a suggestion and I can’t wait for this pipboy
Understood
Would love to see an added mini SD/SD Card slot to add our own fallout themed music playlists. But otherwise this pipboy is coming along very nicely and the teams working on this aught to be very proud of their hard work, as I can see many along with myself are super pleased with the progression towards the final product ❤ thanks for this review awesome seeing it up close
Understood and thanks
Not only they should add a radio, but add a geiger counter if possible!
Ok
@@YourGeekFixok.
I am so excited to get my hands on one of these ! ! ! they have done an outstanding job with it and it looks even better than I ever imagined!
Great!
LOVED this sneak peak. So excited for this! ☢️👍🏻
Happy to have you here!
Us too!
Amazing! Great coverage of the product!
That
Great to see that they added the light up rad counter and radio. Can't wait to get my hands on one!
FM RADIO TOO OMG
Right?
Thats thanks to all of you; the Your Geek Fix community ❤
One thing I just thought of is the map section of the menu. Does it actually work like a GPS or is it just a recreation of the map from the show? It’d honestly be incredible if it functions as a real GPS-style map.
@@blue_ech0 no real gps.
I’m personally in favor of a yellowish light on the radio and Geiger counter! This light is a bit too bright of a green. I don’t know about the other colors it has, but I have a tendency to keep my stuff well charged, so I’ll mostly see the out of universe green.
I’m okay with a typical battery display on the screen. I also know it impossible to perfectly please every customer!
It's recorded, so it might look better to you in person. Here's hoping!
True
True
Imagine if this thing can be fully synchronize with in game pip-boy, press TAB and do it in real time. Gonna be a little bit complicated to use but worth the experience.
Ok
Ok
A very awesome video and the replica is looking nice! You just got a new subscriber 👍
Thanks!
Awesome! Welcome to the club!
This is so much better than I EVER could have asked for. So excited to get mine!!!!!!
Awesome!
That is awesome, only thingni would like in addition to the radio and excerpts is a local playlist with fallout songs on it! Also did he mention anything about water resistant ratings?
No. It should be fine outdoors. But the speaker holes will let water in.
Cool thanks for that! Can't wait to get mine!
I love it. I wish the clock didn't blink as I find it a bit distracting for a bedside clock. But other than that it's super cool. Thanks for sharing.
There are two clock modes
I can't wait to get mine next year!!
Jan or feb?
@@YourGeekFix if I ordered mine April 23 will I get mine in November?
@molove70 no, probably Jan or Feb. You should have recieved an email.
Either way, it's gonna be awesome when you can hold it in your own hands.
@@YourGeekFix Jan!
A neat feature would be uploading your own music files and listening to them through a mock radio station, or something like that.
True
I really excited about this up about the new pip-boy
Great!
Good to hear, so are we!
Unintentional ASMR
Lol
Smooth Operator perk
I'm so happy and excited I ordered one of these. I can't wait for the finished product 😍
Hope you enjoy it!
Hopefully, the battery life last for a long time
It should be. Depends on your settings for the screen. You can dim it.
Did The Wand Company do these kind of hands on prototype reviews with anyone before? (not just the Pip-boys)
Getting to see new features added during these early models builds up the hype even more (just plain good marketing), AND they seem to be listening closely to the community for ideas.
Hope they keep this up, can't wait to get my hands on this one!
I think we got very lucky that Jeromy and Chris hit it off during Jeromy's 2000 kit modding days. That's how James and I got involved with him and the channel; modding Pip Boys after seeing his episodes.
I think it's great!
I must get my hands on one of these!
Legally! Purchase it. No fallout looting.
Wow! Thanks for the one on one video! Can’t wait to get my hands on this pip boy
Your Geek Fix delivers!
Hope you enjoy it!
Oh man, I can't wait to get mine!!!
Me neither
Same!
February can't come soon enough for mine, I didn't realize just how in depth of a device it would be. A must-have for cosplayers
I agree!
Absolutely a must have
Cool!
Definitely!
Looks absolutely amazing. The finer details are what is going to make this a real masterpiece! Great work!
Thanka
I’m running out of space for hype in my body
Lol
Love it! I can't wait to get mine in November.
Cool
I always wondered how the character changed the secondary tab thing
Yeah. Roller.
They see me Rollin' @@YourGeekFix
Just pre ordered mine yesterday on Gamestop lmao im so exited for it
Sweet!
Is it gonna get delayed? I don’t really know how this kinda thing works, but I’m surprised we’re not looking at the final build yet if it’s supposed to come out later this year.
They only got contracted to make this in Feb. It will be ready in plenty of time and they hope to push up shipping dates.
@@YourGeekFix That’s impressive!
@@YourGeekFixhopefully by Halloween so I can make the ultimate vault dweller costume 😅
@@Padfoot333 just after that in Nov.
Idk how much control the user would have over the animations but i’d like to have a lot, random cycling animations aren’t my cup of tea. also the ability to add our own radio music files would be fantastic
It isn't random. You control like in the games. Pop up animations are inworld messages.
When does the pre-order end? If you know
Not sure. It has been extended.
After getting shot in real life, hold up, open PipBoy and eat a bunch of Crams.
Lol
Will you be able to change the display color from green to blue, amber, or red?
No
@@YourGeekFix 😢
i would rather call this one the MK III as the pip boy 3000 MK IV from fallout 4 looks way more polished
This one is smaller, more advanced and chronologically newer. The mk iii actually exists already. People just don't know it by that name.
Incomplete that Pip-Boy is impressive. Complete it will be awesome!
True
Hoping they add multiple in game radio stations... Noticed the prototype said diamond city radio but was playing the one from the show, would be cool to hear fo4, Vegas or 76 tracks
Only the radio from California in the show.
Wait til next season
Wonderful work. from Fallout fans all around the wasteland, thank you!
Thank you.
I was checking to see when this video would drop all of last week I can’t wait to get my pip boy 3000 mk V
Sweet!
great video! I pre-ordered one straight away ♡ I hope we see a couple of new versions in season two
Me too
@@YourGeekFix Me three!
Absolutely needs to have the flashlight.
Sorry
Just saw your video and I’m still waiting for mine I had forgot until I saw this
First group ships in Nov.
@@YourGeekFix I ordered mine since the pre orders first dropped gonna be a minute still
That looks great. Would be amazing to have it working with the game and see the game menu on the real pip boy instead of the PC display..
The game would have to be altered, like the f04 prop was
i can't wait for people to mod the software of this thing and sideload doom
@@lucaspec7284 I don't think this can handle doom
@@YourGeekFix i guess we'll see. what i personally hope for is to be able to store stuff on it like some kind of external hard drive, stream music and maybe video from a phone or possibly a internal storage device like i just mentionned. lastly change the color of the display if it's able to display colors other than green. I'm in the process of modding a pipboy 3000 mk4 from the release of fallout 4 to add more LED, internal charging of the phone, stuff like that, and i'm hoping such mods become possible over time on this one. out of the box it will already more functional than any previous pipboys (except maybe the bluetooth one, couldn't really find one), so i guess even if it's a dead end modding-wise it will still make for a good clock/cosplay piece.
@@lucaspec7284 when did it mention streaming or storage?
@@YourGeekFix it didn't. i'm saying it would be cool to mod that in.
@@lucaspec7284 ok
For the price this is soooo worth it! I had to pre order!🔥
It really is!
Ordered my not too long ago! Should've got it on the 17th! A day after my birthday lol. Looks great, just subscribed for more updates
Awesome! Welcome to the club. Let us know how you like the channel! Also, we got a really sweet podcast if I say so myself.
Thanks
I love getting frequent updates about this
We do our best!
Sure
i honestly really like it looking new and shiny! compared to the roughed up version from the movie prop
I hear that
I’m just going to say it: Add the bluecoat. Go with all 3 levels of distressing. It really adds to the authenticity of the overall look. The bluecoat is the difference between looking almost like a toy you’d expect to see and the true-to-screen final product used on the show.
Ok
How about an actual GPS? Now that would be pretty cool!!
That would be cool.
honestly, the detail and build is super impressive and at that point the price surprises me, for that point, knowing what a $60 smartwatch can do these days in a smaller form factor than this, the only reason i don't expect better features is again, the price
Price and dev time.
I wouldn't mind wearing one of these blasting diamond city radio away going on about my day, if I see anyone doing that I'd be jealous asf wonder how heavy they are.
Nit bad. It was in my wrist, thought without the metal front.
Can't wait to get mine. But really I want the one from show. The one that uses the smart phone. Would be nice to have that an updatable pipboy app
So the one fron the show had to use a really old iPhone mini to fit. The screen is only 2 inches. Most phones are bigger than this pipboy.
@@YourGeekFix aww. Well that's set down. That would have been so cool to mess around with
I'm going to try and get mine autographed by the cast when I see them next.
When do you see them?
Just Pre-Ordered mine I’m so excited!
Awesome!
I'm a little sad that it doesn't have a digital radio but I'm still pretty excited to get mine, pre order is in for my new alarm clock
Fm radio though.
Should add a “holo tape” slot, maybe a way to put a cassette tape in a holo tape cover and make it work somehow but it’d be cool to have a holo tape to throw in the pip boy with more music or an 8 bit type of game
Picture a cassette tape. This is smaller than that.
Picture a holotape with a small SSD chip in it with MP3s on it. Plugs in upon insertion. About the size (read appearance) of a 3.5 inch floppy but smaller and maybe twice as thick. It could easily have been incorporated and then the flat circuit mainboard PCB would have a spot just under that holotape slot wall. Heck, the whole thing should have just been made as a Linux Tiny PC complete with HDMI out, etc. AND THEN incorporate as many of the Pip-Boy external features as possible and then run the Pip-Boy app once the Linux or Android boots up. Then the only problem for the thing would have been the screen and 'cursor' control setup(s). Heck, I could take apart my CuBox and shove it all in there. Hey! Send me an additional shell (with the arm pads installed) so I can make a $500 pip-boy that outdoes your $250 pip-boy.
This pipboy is too small for my holotape. Must have been a special one.
Can't wait for it! I will definitely make a unboxing video when I get mines!
Awesome, let us know when you do!
@@MassiveDMG will do!
@@ThePyro8930 Do you do a lot of unboxings?
@@MassiveDMG no not really
You should!
i'm so happy by what i see. 2025 is far but it will be worthy to wait this excellent prop. the better i see.
Awesome!
Have they ever thought of adding a Bluetooth feature so people can play the music from the games on this model of the pip boy?
This was discussed in an earlier interview with Chris.
Could always just use a Bluetooth FM transmitter to transmit your music
@@jasonhedtke659 That's what I plan to do
