Preorder QMx’s Little Damn Kaylee
Guess what TFAW has for preorder…
We’ve seen the artist proofs of the Little Damn Heroes maquettes - pics were leaked, one was auctioned off for CSTS, and one is a prize in QMx’s current Big Haul contest - and some of us remember the original Little Damn Heroes cartoons by Adam Levermore-Rich that the maquettes are based on. I saw them back in December and was hard-pressed not to overpower my guard and take them. But I have to admit, I was starting to wonder if we’d ever see them on store shelves.
No problem, they’re on their way. TFAW has them available for preorder for 20% off the $49.95 retail price, available September 17th (UPDATED: originally they listed a release date in October; this has been changed). They’ll be limited to 1,500, first in a series of Little Damn Heroes maquettes.
Shiny! The word epitomizes Serenity’s unsinkable engineer, Kaywinnit Lee Frye, or as she’s known to her friends, Kaylee. And now for the first time, Kaylee’s shining spirit is captured in this limited edition, hand-painted animation maquette, designed by well-known artist Adam Levermore-Rich, creator of the best-selling Serenity: Blue Sun Travel Posters. The stylized statue brings together Kaylee’s two seemingly contradictory aspects - savant engineer and girly girl - perfectly. Smiling beatifically, the 4 1/2′ Kaylee Maquette is sculpted wearing her mechanic’s coveralls (complete with teddy bear patch) and holding her trademark rainbow parasol, standing in her work boots on a black resin base. Limited to 1,500 pieces, this maquette will be a unique collectible that deserves a place in every Browncoat’s collection. Painted and ready to display.
You’ll be able to get them a bit quicker from QMx, as they’ll start selling Kaylees Sept. 15, but TFAW has the preorder discount. Your call. And, even better, if you get the QMx Insider newsletter, you can find out about the special edition that’s… well, you need to get the newsletter, don’t you?

“celebrating the spirit of Serenity’s crew (and perhaps a couple of their most noteworthy enemies, as well.)”
YoSafBridge! Come on, we need YoSafBridge! (After the rest of the crew is produced, of course.)

1,500 NOT ENOUGH!

I didn’t even finish reading the article, I just saw the headline and immediately clicked the link. I love TFAW for their 20% pre-order deals. So I’ll probably get it sometime in November instead of December, but for a fraction of the price. =)
