You loved Ben’s Serenity computer screens, you loved his River wanted posters and his Cortex cards and his Serenity ownership plaque money replicals and all the other cool stuff he’s created.

So you’re really gonna love the next thing: a replica of the star charts from the episide “Save.” Coming soon!

First the ornament, now this.

According to the Inkworks site, the Firefly collectible card set now has a release date of May 3rd. Patience, travelers. Patience.

The Prop Store of London has added two new cool items. First up is the blue dress Inara is wearing at the end of the movie.

Second is a bank money display that’s similar to the one they offered previously, but get this: not only do you get the laser-cut Serenity logo as before, you also get a cast photo and the bill is signed by Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Morena Baccarin, Adam Baldwin, Jewel Staite, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Ron Glass, Yan Feldman, Rafael Feldman and Christina Hendricks. I don’t really remember Saffron in the movie — and wouldn’t she have been a great addition? — but what the heck.

According to this article at ICv2 News, Tracy and Laura Hickman’s ”Out in the Black,” the first full-length adventure for Margaret Weis Productions excellent Serenity RPG, will be released in May.  

“The husband and wife team of Tracy and Laura Hickman (Ravenloft) drew on stories of western boom towns told by Tracy Hickman’s grandmother to create this new Serenity role-playing adventure which takes players to the wildest mining town on the Rim on the trail of one of the biggest secrets from the end of the Unification Wars, the disposition of a treasure of mythic proportions.”

The Prop Store of London, long may it reign, has added more Serenity props for your pleasure: yet another glass from the Maidenhead Bar and the caual outfit the Operative was wearing in his last scene: khaki shirt, khaki pants, boots, and a brown jacket.

EzyDVD announced the rerelease of their tin box Serenity DVD.

You get the 2-disc Australian region 4 DVD packed in a cool collector’s tin box. They sold out pretty quick the first time, so heads up.

The new release is due to ship April 10, 2006.

Previously available only to those other continents, the Firefly Store has opened an outpost on our shores. And you know you want this stuff. After all, more than a few of the cast wears ‘em…

Elegant designs of the Big Damn Heroes, on many colors of ringer tees, baseball shirts, muscle shirts, and messenger bags. Designs change regularly, so if you see something you like I wouldn’t dawdle. Select designs are on sale to celebrate the new opening.

The promo cards for the Firefly collectible card set from Inkworks will be:

P-1 (General Distribution)
P-2 (available in this month’s Non-Sport Update magazine)
P-i (free card offer on Inkworks.com)
P-UK (UK Distribution)

The P-UK card (pictured) can also be ordered from The Collector Zone, the retail store of Inkworks’ UK distributor.

New at the Prop Store of London: the miniskirt outfit Kaylee wore on board Serenity (short brown skirt, cool cropped top), a Maidenhead Bar fan dancer fan with a picture of a fish on it (not the one used to block Mal and friends, though), and the stylus that young River was using in her flashback (which I just bought for myself, so, you know, sorry).

The next private auction by Firefly costume designer Shawna Trpcic has started, and there’s some shiny stuff indeed. First and foremost is a replica of Mal’s browncoat. Not the original, but as close as you’d ever be able to get since it’ll be made by the same person (Jonathan Logan) and aged by Shawna exactly as she did the original, including the sewn-up bullet hole in the shoulder. You can even have Jon and Shawna autograph the inside if you like.

There’s also Inara’s ballgown from “Shindig,” lots of dresses from “Heart of Gold” including Inara’s and Nandi’s, Gabriel Tam’s suit from “Safe,” and more. Start your bidding!
