that's the whole point it's not always supposed to look like the actual character it's always off with puppets....how do you not know this.

Sorry to offend your high knowledge of handpuppets or something, but I thought cartoon characters would probably look like themselves in handpuppet form.
I think the term for when they don't is "off-model"?
Heck, Vault Boy is mostly off-model so far.

Man, talk about going overboard with souvenirs. This game has seen shirts, lunchboxes, bobbleheads, nuka-cola bottles, Pip-boy replicas, now puppets and bottle openers. I don't know if that's standard for high-profile games, since I don't follow all of them this closely, but this overkill feels pretty tacky to me.
About Vault Boy's look, I'd say there's something off about him in most depictions by Bethesda (especially the combat pop-ups), though this might be due to my dislike of their abusing the poor fella and slapping him just about everywhere. Still, with the puppet they seem to be emulating Penny Arcade's rendition, what with that before/after pic, big nose and all, so it figures that it looks different from the classic clear lines style.

I wonder if they're going to start distributing Vault Boy condoms?

Ya the tip having his little blonde curl and the main body of it a blue jumpsuit, the main package it comes in is a picture of the Kama Sutra Master perk....Shit I just help give Bethesda an idea for some more swag.
