Serenity - The Big Damn Replica (click to enlarge)

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).

Limited Edition Stargate SG-1 Goa'uld Death Glider (click to enlarge)

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.

Medicom Toy Corp Limited Edition Alien 12-Inch RAH Figure (click to enlarge)

This Medicom Toy Corporation 12-inch 1:6 scale RAH Alien figure is simply superb.

These outstanding action figures are of the highest quality and offer one of the most articulated 12-inch figure bodies available, capable of nearly any pose you can imagine.

This particular figure is a Limited Edition (I believe of 500, but don’t quote me on that).  Either way they aren’t easy to find.

These are a rare commodity.  They were recently sold out at Sideshow Collectibles, but someone didn’t follow through so now there’s a second chance opportunity going there.

If you want one, Sideshow is a good place to go right now for as long as the second chance opportunity lasts.  They have it available for $169.99 which, considering these Alien collectibles are going to be hard to get, is a good deal.

When Sideshow sell out (which you can count on shortly), you can try eBay.  At the moment there’s one on eBay for $179.99.

Check it out at Sideshow Collectibles here.

The Easterling Miniature Shield is a miniature version of the actual prop made by Weta for Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings.

The Easterling Miniature Shield is a Limited Edition piece of only 2000, made  by the same artists and craftsmen who made the original film prop.

The shield is made from metal and can be worn as a badge as well as displayed on the stand.

The Endoskeleton stands 3 feet tall (36″) and is made from a mixture of chromed metal, polystone, and other materials. It stands on top of an impressive skull littered display base, which incorporates built-in blue LED lights.  When activated, the eyes also glow with red light.

Avatar AMP Suit Maquette (click to enlarge)

The AMP Suit Maquette is the first in a line of really cool collectibles based on James Cameron’s upcoming sci-fi epic, Avatar.

This is an exclusive to Sideshow Collectibles’ line of Avatar collectibles and has been created in conjunction with the film’s special effects studio Legacy Effects.

The AMP Suit Maquette is an authentic scaled representation of the battle mech in the film, modeled directly from 3D scans of the 14-foot suit that was used by Legacy during filming.

Each piece is individually painted and finished and thus comes with its own unique identity and quality.

Though I haven’t classified this one as a Limited Edition Avatar collectible, it may well become so.  At the time of writing this article Sideshow haven’t yet decided how or if the product will be limited.  I’m guessing it will be.

Price: US $1199.99.
