Hmm.

UPDATED: Dark Horse hsa cancelled their proposed Serenity laser-etched lucite ornament. According to Dark Horse:

"The market didn't show any significant support for the lucite ornament during the solicitation period, so we were forced to make the unfortunate decision to cancel production."

TFAW has sent cancellations to early buyers and updated the product page.

Sorry folks, no paperweight yet.

The newest ship ornament from Dark Horse is now in stock at TFAW.com. And at 10% off the asking price…

With the fabulous response we've received for our Serenity ships, we are happy to continue with this line of ornaments. Last month we offered Inara's Shuttle, and this month we are pleased to announce the Reaver Ship.

Fans of Firefly and Serenity will be familiar with the look of the Reaver ships, created from abandoned ships and spare parts, with their threatening red markings. In Serenity, the Reaver Ships emerge from an ion storm in the quest for Mal and his crew. We've based our ornament on one of the memorable, menacing ships in this scene.

5 1/2" long, 2" wide, can be hung or placed on stand for display. Order it now and get it for $35.99, 10% off the retail price. And so your fleet begins…  I'll get pictures up as soon as mine arrives, so check back.

Just noticed in TFAW.com's preorder pile – which is crammed with Serenity goodies and T-shirts coming out in the next few months – these two new, somewhat vague items.

First we have a Serenity Patch Set: "Collect four patches as seen in Joss Whedon's sci-fi epic, Serenity, with this patch set!" Which is well and good but we don't get to see which patches or what sizes.

And the Serenity Collages 2008 Photo Set: "Revisit Joss Whedon's Serenity with this collection of five photo collages featuring characters from the hit film! Featuring Inara, River, Mal, Wash, and Simon, these collages measure 8' x 10' and are suitable for framing or autographing!"

Serenity merchandise junkie though I am, I'll need more info on both these items before I plunk down the asking prices, even with TFAW's 20% off pre-order pricing. $22.39 for the patches is reasonable enough for good quality, but $23.19 for 5 pictures? Ehh. I'll wait for a better description. UPDATED: The pics looked familiar so I checked over at the Creation Entertainment Serenity store, and they've got all 4 patches and 5 collage pics for sale individually and you can order them right now. But if you're buying the sets, preordering them from TFAW is cheaper.

But check out the rest of the pre-order stuff. Tons of shirts, hoodies, mugs, lunchboxes, and a Reaver ship ornament are all waiting to be drooled over, at 20% off.

The licensed Mal resin mini-bust from Razor's Edge Collectibles is now also available for preorder from TFAW.com (handy if you plan to buy anything else from them and combine orders).

Sculpted by Gentle Giant, made by Diamond, this little captain is in 1/6 scale and is 6" tall. Only 1,000 will be made and sales are limited to two per household, $50 each.

TFAW.com is celebrating Black Friday with blowout sales on statues and select graphic novels. Such as the "River Triumphant" statue, now 20% off, and the "Serenity: Those left Behind" trade paperback, now only $7.46. Also, many more graphic novels, some up to 80% off. Check out the "Tales of the Slayers" collection and the Buffy Omnibus and "Fray."

And, today onoly, free domestic shipping on any order over $15 of in-stock items. Now's the time to stock up on your own stuff, and start thinking about Christmas presents… More details here.

Because you know the crew has always got your back. And, apparently, your head.

Black hooded, zip front sweatshirt with a full color image of the cast of Serenity on the back, and the Serenity logo on the front. Sweatshirt is brown, 80% Cotton/20% Polyester.

Due out September 12, preorder price is $35.99 (20% off retail). Available in Medium, Large, and X-Large.

If it's been announced, you know Things From Another World won't be far behind. Pre-order the hardcover collection of the Serenity comic mini-series from TFAW.com and get 20% off the retail price!

Dark Horse's biggest hit of 2006 is now available in a special-edition hardcover!

Joss Whedon, the pop-culture mastermind behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer, bridged the gap between his cult-hit Firefly TV series and his Serenity motion picture with this three-issue miniseries.

Penned by Whedon and Brett Matthews, a Firefly show writer, the ragtag crew takes on a scavenger mission with the promise of a big payoff. Only too late do they realize the gig is orchestrated by an old enemy eager to remake their acquaintance.

* Sporting a new cover by Adam Hughes, this oversized collection shows off the work of penciller Will Conrad and colorist Laura Martin, and the array of pinups by phenomenal guest artists. In addition, over a dozen backup pages delve into the work and art behind the scenes-original material assembled especially for this hardcover edition.

Full color, 96 pages, Hard cover, 9" x 12", due out November 14. Hardcovers don't get reissued often so be sure to order now.

QMx is running out, but Things From Another World is getting more Official Serenity Blueprints in stock. Preorder now and get 10% off!

This limited edition set of blueprints from the Serenity movie is sure to impress. Limited to 750 copies worldwide each set contains 10 full color 18"x24" prints on 100 pound satin finish paper. Painstakingly designed and illustrated by Geoffrey Mandel (graphic designer for Serenity) and Tim Earls (illustrator and set designer for Firefly and set designer for Serenity) these are not just mere posters. The set also contains an 11"x17" signature sheet featuring the original signatures of Mr. Mandel and Mr. Earls, and background essays by the blueprints' creators.

These sets will ship rolled in original packaging and enclosed in a 3" mailing tube and are limited to one set per customer.

The price is higher than ordering direct from QMx but their shipping is cheaper, plus you can combine shipping with any other TFAW purchases you make. Not a bad deal, since they've got more Serenity stuff than just about anybody.

OK, this is just funny. I went to Things From Another World to see what was new and at the moment their list of the top 5 hottest items are all Whedony.
