Quantum Mechanix doesn't seem to be slowing down much when it comes to shiny new Serenity stuff, and I'm glad to see it. Two new items just hit the pre-order lists: a scary-accurate scale replica of the Mule, and a River maquette. The Mule is just gorgeous. QMx has produced the first ever exact scale [...]
Read MoreThe official, licensed, Museums Replicas versions of River's axe and a Reaver sword were certainly impressive, reasonably accurate, and came with a cool wall plaque, but they weren't exactly cheap. And the actual props from the Prop Store of London were even more expensive. What's the economically disadvantaged fan to do? Never fear! Bud K [...]
Read MoreThinkGeek has gotten in some new Star Trek items, and they're getting a little weird… First up, a replica hand phaser kit.Not a snap-together, mind you, but all the same sort of parts used to create the original: …the Star Trek Hero Prop Type-I Phaser Kit was created by Star Trek prop expert and special [...]
Read MoreAfter months of teasing, QMx has finally brought out their biggest project yet: the film-quality, made-to-order Serenity model. Measuring 19"x12"x7", or 1:180 scale, this baby is incredibly screen-accurate right down to the bolts and weathering. Over 250 parts, hand-painted, with built-in lighting and engine effects. It doesn't get any more accurate than this. When it [...]
Read MoreThe new QMx Insider is out from Quantum Mechanix with lots of new stuff to want and have. First up: Ben Mund has outdone himself again, which has to be getting tiring.

Read MoreMuseum Replicas is selling out their licensed Serenity weapon replicas and I don't think you're going to see them this cheap again. The Reaver set River wielded, consisting of a katana-like sword and a hand axe, has been marked down from $295 to the closeout price of $150. These are quality, high carbon tempered steel weapons, and [...]
Read MoreFrom the shape of the box I thought it was a huge Toblerone, but it was almost as good.
Read MoreJust announced in QMx's Insider e-mail newsletter: the Mal Stunt Pistol stand! You voted for it, you got it. Well, a hundred of you do, anyway, they only had a hundred made. OK, 99 of you do, I ordered one already. The stand consists of three components: a black lucite base measuring 16.5" x 4" [...]
Read MoreBetter let QMx know. They're asking folks to take a survey on whether or not they'd like a stand for their Mal pistol, and how much they'd be willing to pay: Last month we asked what you thought of QMx coming out with a holster for the Mal pistol. This month, we've decided to come [...]
Read MoreDid you see the QMx stuff at the Creation or Starfury cons the last two weeks? If not, you missed getting a close up look at their Serenity stuff, including some cool things yet to come. But one of the best moments came when their Mal stunt pistol replica underwent the most authoritative scrutiny yet, [...]
