It’s not often you find a Companion on sale, but TFAW.com does like to be innovative…

Things From Another World is having a ginormous sale on thousands of items, and one of them is the “Inara Strikes” statue from Diamond Select (see my review here). Right now she’s 40% off, but here’s the thing: this is only week one.

They’re looking to clear some room, so every week of the sale the price will drop to 50% off, then 60%, and so on. The catch is, of course, that supplies are very limited so if you wait too long your item may not be available. So it’s possible Inara could be available, as it were, for as little as 20 bucks by the end of the month, but it’s just as possible that they’ll sell out by next Tuesday. Your call, but don’t wait too long.

First QMx brings you the Little Damn Heroes, then they turn around and offer you big ones. Remember the the painting of Kaylee Steve Anderson posted on his site a while back? QMx commissioned him to create portraits of each of Serenity’s crew, and the first set of four should be available later this month.

The result is a breathtaking series of museum-quality 13″ x 19″ lithographs, printed on 100-pound, satin-finish paper. The first set – featuring Mal, Inara, Kaylee and Jayne – will be sold as set for just $29.95. That’s right, four lithographs of Serenity’s crew, painted by one of the most renowned portrait artists working today, for just under $30.

Check out the QMx Insider newsletter for a heads up on availability. QMx is having a heck of a week…

No problem, they’re on their way. QMx just announced the release of the Kaylee maquette, coming in September, limited to 1,500, first in a series of Little Damn Heroes maquettes.

The stylized statue is a delightful melding of Kaylee’s two seemingly contradictory aspects – engineer savant and girly girl. Smiling blissfully, the sculpted 4.75-inch maquette portrays Kaylee in her mechanic’s coveralls (complete with teddy bear patch), holding her trademark rainbow parasol and standing in her work boots on a black resin base.

$49.95, for sale starting Sept. 15 at QMx. And, even better, if you get the QMx Insider newsletter, you can find out about the special… well, you need to get the newsletter, don’t you?

“It’s been a little over a year since we introduced our very first Serenity product,” said Andy Gore, CEO of QMx. “That was the Serenity Money Pack, a screen-accurate replica of the money seen in the film’s bank heist. With that money showing up in the comic, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to partner with Dark Horse to say a big ‘thanks’ to Serenity fans for a fantastic first year.”

Friends and neighbors, how can you pass up the chance to roll around in a million bucks of cashy money? Head over to qmxonline.com/bighaul right now and enter!
