This easily ranks as one of the best TV Show/Film collectibles I’ve seen in a while and I have no doubt that fans of Firefly and Serenity will want this bad.

Serenity – The Big Damn Replica is a prop replica from Quantum Mechanix based on the Firefly-Class transport ship “Serenity” from Joss Whedon’s TV Series Firefly and the film spinoff Serenity.

Here’s what Sideshow Collectibles have to say about it:

Serenity, has existed in all its glory in digital form only – until now. More than three years in the making, Serenity – The Big Damn Replica, has been painstakingly crafted to be absolutely screen-accurate in every aspect. Unlike most ships from science fiction, Serenity was designed from the ground up to be as realistic as possible, from her floor plan to her construction, using real-world components and manufacturing processes. As one of her creators observed, the idea was to make Serenity so real, fans could see themselves walking her decks. With such a sense of place and familiarity, viewers would never feel lost in this Firefly-Class Transport.

When it came time to develop this replica, we could do no less. Every bolt, every seam and every asymmetrical plate has been recreated with exacting attention to detail in this first and only screen-accurate replica of Serenity. Years of intense effort have gone into all aspects of this model, from the model sculpture built from the movie special effects master files to the paint job created to match not just the colors of the ship, but the materials as well.

It’s a Limited Edition of 1000 pieces and you’ll need a good wad of cash to buy it ($2699.99).

There aren’t nearly enough Stargate collectibles going around, so I’m pleased to see Quantum Mechanix are on the job (under license from MGM Studios) with this scaled replica Goa’uld Death Glider.

This is the second replica ship by Quantum Mechanix based on Stargate SG-1, the first being their F-302 Strategic Fighter – Interceptor Replica, and it’s the most detailed model of the Death Glider ever produced.

The wings span 8 inches and the model itsel fis hand-painted. The model also comes with a detailed diorama base that includes a miniature Stargate, DHD and stone circle.

The Goa’uld Death Glider is a Limited Edition piece of 1,500 individually-numbered replicas that come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Personally I think this is an absolute bargain at $99.99.

They’re not available until the 1st Qtr in 2010, but they can be pre-ordered now to ensure you don’t miss out.
