ABOUT VAULT BOY:

Vault Boy is the iconic mascot of the Fallout franchise, representing the player character’s actions and statistics. He is a young, smiling cartoon character in a Vault jumpsuit, often depicted with a thumbs-up gesture. Vault Boy serves as a ubiquitous presence in Vault-Tec’s advertisements and products, masking the corporation’s unethical experiments on unsuspecting Vault dwellers. Despite his cheerful demeanor, Vault Boy embodies the franchise’s dark, satirical tone, symbolizing the false promises and manipulation of the post-apocalyptic world.

How To Dress Like Vault Boy

1. TRACKSUIT – This blue and yellow tracksuit is absolutely perfect for this Vault Boy costume. If you like you could also use fabric paint to write your favorite vault number on the back.

2. HAIRSPRAY – Use some temporary yellow hair spray to create Vault Boy’s impossibly blonde hair.

3. T-SHIRT – The only thing the tracksuit is missing is a yellow stripe down the middle but that can be easily rectified with a plain T-shirt.

4. BOBBLEHEAD – What is your favorite S.P.E.C.I.A.L attribute? Ours is Strength, hence this cool Fallout bobblehead merch.

5. SHOES – Vault Boy is typically depicted wearing plain black dress shoes but he has also been known to wear brown and gray footwear.
