, which is part of the Elite Series, or as McFarlane jokingly referred to as "the Cadillac model," as it allows for more complicated sculpts, more paint, and more accessories.

McFarlane spoke about how not only had video game characters in general been q growing component for them the past few years, but that "Fallout caught us by surprise," saying when they first took on the license it was more of a "let's see how it goes" situation. Quickly, fans were asking for more, and McFarlane noted, "We've had a lot of success with Fallout, not only with the new games they have, but they've opened up their library."

The way McFarlane saw it, even though he knew fans would ask for the most popular characters up front, "You don't want to burn all the A characters right out of the gate" because they are the ones that ensure fans come back for each new group of figures - allowing the line to last longer and for the fans of the less high profile characters to have a chance to grow their collection further than they otherwise would.

figures his company is making, including the TR-40 Gold Eagle and B-01 Tactical Elite Edition figure. These figures include wired capes, along with patterns on those cape, which isn't something they've done a lot of previously.
