Just got the word from Things From Another World, the Serenity ornaments that have been pushed back twice are finally on their way! From the e-mail they sent to them what pre-ordered:
We have word that they are en-route and that they’ll be arriving at our warehouse early next week, which means that orders should start processing next Wednesday.
If you ordered one of these lo those many days ago, now’s a good time to make sure you still have the money and your credit card number hasn’t changed for your TFAW account.
The ornament will be 6″ long x 3 1/2″ wide and in full color. List price is $19.99 but Things From Another World is offering it for just $17.99. They’ve also got their Serenity comics on sale for $1 each this month, and they still have T-shirts in stock. Check out their Serenity merchandise to see!
The Serenity ornament will also be available from Poplollies, 258 West Authentic, and many other fine places.
Nnnnoooo! It was supposed to be my birthday present to myself 🙁 (My birthday is April 12). Guess I’ll have to buy something from the Prop Store instead… 😉
I am definately going to buy one.
I just noticed on the Dark Horse site that the “Publication Date” has been once again changed! It is now August 9, 2006!
I have sent Dark Horse an e-mail asking about the further delay. I will let you know if I get a reply.
Looks like. I’ve never gotten good responses from Dark Horse about stuff like this but I’ll check some of the retailers. Anyone who pre-ordered through Things From Another World should get an e-mail heads-up.
Browncoats don’t handle frustration well…
Even after all the practice we’ve had . . .
I’m glad to see this piece is finally coming out! I also wanted to let you all know that I sent autograph requests out to all origonal cast members three weeks ago and have already gotten two back (Kaylee and Simon)! Use the autogragh info and links provided by this site, they work!
Last…everyone goto Sideshow Collectible (www.sideshowtoy.com) and make your voice heard…we want a Firefly/Serenity line! So post a comment there now and often and we may keep the signal alive!
Finally, my own Firefly!
I promise to treat her well.
Shiny!
You mean just by leaving a comment here, I might win one? And my comment doesn’t even have to impress you or be clever in any way?
This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, well…if it happens…maybe…and I didn’t mispell my e-mail address.
I’ve got to get one of these…maybe two, or three…..
Yeah, got to have one of those cool looking ornaments – maybe two.
I am happy to see that this item was approved for release as I understand the RPG system will no longer be supported by Universal – hence no more supplemental materials. Let’s hope someone allows us any sort of story format – i.e. books, comics. We want more Serenity/Firefly stuff Fox and Universal!!!!!
My Serenity ornaments have arrived. The quality is outstanding and is every bit as good as the pre-release photos depicted. They are made of plastic and are very light but durable, including the solar panels. The fine detail is amazing right down to turbine blades in the engine intakes, engine struts under the wings, small engine nozzles on the back and a shuttle on each side. The color is a flat gray pewter with some highlight colors, that seem to have been painted on by hand. The hanger hook and cord are removable for display on the stand. There appear to be no blemishes or pits in the plastic. The ornaments were packaged in sturdy cardboard boxes and Styrofoam with bright images of the product on the four sides and the Serenity logo on the lid. You can’t go wrong for the price and I may order more as Christmas gifts.
