TFAW.com now has QMX's Dr. Horrible maquette available for preorder for 20% off the retail price.

Cast in professional-grade resin and painted by hand, Dr. Horrible is pictured in his moment of triumph, holding his Freeze Ray aloft in one hand and shaking his fist at the world. As with all QMx animated maquettes, Dr. Horrible comes with many screen-accurate details, such as his goggles, the medical symbol on his smock and, of course, the aforementioned deanimation gun. He stands over six inches tall–nine, if you include his weapon. Freeze Ray. Tell your friends.

Dr. Horrible comes in an edition of 1,000 statues and is the first in a series of limited-edition maquettes based on the characters of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

You need this on your desk to terrorize your coworkers and remind them that you have friends (or, rather, allies) in high, evil places.

Retail is $69.95, but if you preorder you get it for $55.96. You'd be criminally insane not to.

And by "here" I mean at "QMx."

Since they announced they had the Dr. Horrible license we've been waiting to see what evil product would emerge, and the first one is the Doctor himself.

Only 1,000 will be made, the first of the Dr. Horrible maquette series. $69.95, shipping in February 2010.

Announced at the Creation con yesterday, QMx will soon be making officially licensed collectibles for Firefly and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. We're talking props, ships, t-shirts, maquettes and novelties (keychains, bumper stickers, etc.) So what do you want to see?

Me, I'd suggest for replica catalyzers, blinking van-top bombs with magnetic bottoms for personal use, Vera, the big red button, letters from Bad Horse, a variety of pistols, and maquettes including the Dr. Horrible crew, a bathing Inara and a naked Mal on a rock. Let's go, people!

If you saw the Emmys last night, along with Neil Patrick Harris' amazing performance as the host and the revamped show that finally seemed to start treating awards ceremonies the way they should all be treated — with respect, humor, and John Hodgman providing color commentary– you also saw the first time Dr. Horrible ever appeared on broadcast television. At least, outside of a news show reporting on the death of TV.

I almost missed the damn thing.

It was the accountancy part! If there was ever a safe time to hit the bathroom, it should have been the accountancy part! But no, NPH had to make it all "fun" and "entertaining," as he did throughout the rest of the show. There were some clunkers — the fan getting lousy seats got old even before she was on the screen, the presenter banter was only slightly better overall, and the reality show montage and the ultra-violent Family Guy clip just forcibly reminded me why I don't watch reality shows or Family Guy. (Isn't Dirty Jobs a reality show? Why isn't Mike Rowe winning Emmys?) But overall this was the most entertaining Emmys broadcast I've seen in years. Light-hearted, respectful, and it combined the genres to make the show move faster (something I, ahem, suggested last year).

The fans seemed to agree: despite predictable winners and competition from the Giants/Cowboys game, the 61st Emmys saw a million-person jump in ratings from last year.

I think it was Dr. Horrible's doing. Somehow his evil plan backfired and saved the industry. And in recognition of that, and of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog winning its own Emmy, I'm giving one away. Post a comment below and tomorrow night at 9 pm EST I'll pull a name at random and send that winner a Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog DVD, just for the hell of it.

One entry per person, must be 18 to win, must be a mailing address in the U.S. or Canada (unless you're willing to cover shipping charges). Begin!

Note: Winning entry has been drawn,. will announce after I get a response from the winner I just e-mailed.

I know this is old news already, but I just had to post the acceptance speech:

Kids Need to Read is auctioning off a rare set of Dr. Horrible figures. Only four sets exist, owned by Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion, artist Jenny Wolf, and maybe you!

The figures are autographed by the artist and the Captain Hammer figure is autographed by Nathan.

You need these. Actually, wait, I need these. I changed my mind. Don't go bid.

Kids Need to Read is a 501(c)(3) organization that assists in making make books available to under funded schools and libraries to give all children the opportunity to enjoy the world of books and inspire imagination.  KTNR was founded by author PJ Haarsma and Nathan Fillion.  You can read more on their website.

Interested in an 8"x10" Dr. Horrible poster signed by Joss, Nathan, Neil, and Jed?

Me, too. Good thing there's one available, currently being auctioned off. The seller is "sfaidswalk" so it looks like proceeds will go twards Aids Walk San Fransisco, but there's no mention of that on the auction (eBay is tricky about what you can say, though).

This is a Comic Con 2008 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog 8 x 10 print autographed by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Serenity,), Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Hauser MD, Harold and Kumar, Starship Troopers How I Met Your Mom), Nathan Fillion (Serenity, Slither) and Jed Whedon (writer – Dollhouse). This autographed print was obtained from Neil Patrick Harris himself. There are less than 100 autographed prints of this kind. It is a VERY rare collectible piece for this new cult classic.The print itself is 8 x 10. I have had it professionally framed and matted using The Painter's Place in San Francisco. The total dimensions are: 13.5 x 14.5 x 2. It is custom finished on archival matte behind museum conservation glass housed in a silver frame. It looks great! The frame really makes the silver signed signatures pop off the page and out of the frame.

Also comes with DVD which is not signed nor has it been opened. Everything is brand new and in mint pristine condition!

If you're not following @drhorrible on Twitter, you're missing some good stuff and sneaky updates like this one. Just sayin'.

OK, I'm not really sure what the connection to Father's Day is here. Was Billy overcompensating for an abusive father? Was Captain Hammer a victim of some childhood hammering himself? Was Penny using her work with the homeless to make up for the paternal connection she never had?

Or do the Horrible people figure your dad might like some cool stuff and this is as good a reason for a sale as any?

Either way, many of the Dr. Horrible tees are on sale for $15 (10 bucks off usual price) and they now have bundles where you can get sets of shirts, totes, hats, and more for a reduced price. Fiendishly brilliant.

Happy Father's Day, you evil people, you.

Continuing in their scheme to take over the world via herbs soaked in hot water, Adagio Teas has one for whatever side of the whole good/evil thing you're presently on.

Dr. Horrible's Tea of Evil: A tea as dark as the Dr.'s heart. This black tea is highlighted with berry blues and a hint of vanilla in honor of the frozen yogurt he shares with his love. May be served with or without sweatener. Honey makes a perfect compliment to this tea.

Captain Hammer's Corporate Tool tea: An over-the-top hero, like the Captain, needs a patriotic tea. But this black tea is over-the-top too with apple, caramel and cream. Think of it as a gooey apple pie for our hunky, cheesy hero!

There are also teas for Penny, Moist, Dollhouse's Echo, Dexter, assorted Buffy characters… all created by users in the Adagio community. I'm thinking there's probably some trademark infringement going on, but it's soothing and relaxing trademark infringement so what the hell.
