Notes
- A unique variant can be obtained from Arlen Glass after returning Marlene's holotape, found in Wilson Atomatoys Corporate HQ.
- The Giddyup Buttercup toy is more commonly found than in Fallout 3.
- It is too heavy to lift despite the fact that the player is able to carry them in their inventory. In a settlement however, one can move dropped Buttercups around through the build interface.
- The various Giddyup Buttercup parts do not provide the same amount of scrap materials as a complete Giddyup Buttercup. A complete Buttercup provides 4 springs, 3 gears, 4 screws, and 5 steel with a weight of eight pounds. A head, body, two front legs, and two rear legs yields 12 springs, 8 gears, 2 screws, and 8 steel with a combined weight of ten pounds. Note that if the front and rear leg were counted as a pair of legs each, even though the model is clearly a single leg, then the totals are closer, with 8 springs, 4 gear, 2 screws, and 6 steel with a combined weight of eight pounds.
