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.

A scene from Dexter: Early Cuts

I’m a big fan of Dexter and so I’m happy to hear Showtime are producing an animated web series titled Dexter: Early Cuts.

Dexter: Early Cuts is going to be a 12 part series told in four one or two minute chapters.  It will be built on the mythology of the live-action series.  I’m laughing out loud (in a good way) at the idea that the animated series will show fans how his slaying techniques have evolved.

Dexter: Early Cuts will premiere Oct. 25 on www.sho.com.

In the meantime, Dexter has a new action figure on the way – the Dexter and Sgt. Doakes 7-Inch Action Figure Scene 2-Pack.

Lost The Complete Fifth Season Dharma Initiative Orientation Kit Blu-ray

On December 8 ABC Studio’s plan to release Lost: The Complete Fifth Season Dharma Initiative Orientation Kit.

I found this whilst bored and checking out the upcoming releases on Amazon.  Unfortunately Amazon have failed to advertise what exactly this special pack thingy contains, other than stating the obvious: it has 5 Blu-ray discs with the entire fifth season of Lost on them.

But as you can see, the kit contains far more than just 5 Blu-ray discs.

From the image above it apparently has stickers, a map, pamphlets, a vinyl record, a Dharma Initiative VHS video, floppy disc looking sleeves for the discs, and a cool looking booklet with more goodies, all packaged in a nice aged-looking box.

But at twice the price of the regular DVD/Blu-ray release, is this worth it?  It would help if there were some real specifications somewhere.  It seems ABC Studios haven’t released them yet, but I do have some images to show you.

Radio-controlled Voice Activated Supreme Dalek

Yes, this will always be one of my favorite Doctor Who collectibles.

It’s an 18-inch tall, radio-controlled voice activated Supreme Black Dalek!  If these were around when I was a kid I would have had an army of them guarding my room.  Yes, they have the ability to sense and react to movement and literally can be set up to guard your room!

Perhaps the coolest thing about this product is that Entertainment Earth have it listed at around 45% of its retail value.  It’s not a limited edition collectible so you don’t have to rush out, but then, at that price, maybe you do.

Limited Edition Replica of Captain Kirk's original chair

Check out this perfect replica of Captain Kirk’s U.S.S. Enterprise Bridge chair as seen in the original Star Trek series.

It’s a Limited Edition of only 1701 pieces worldwide, but it isn’t selling out particularly fast.  Possibly that’s due to the hefty price tag of US $2,199.99, or perhaps it’s more due to the fact that it is a large, heavy collectible which in turn creates shipping restrictions and/or extra costs, or perhaps it’s a combination of both.

USS Enterprise Limited Edition Replica

This is sweet as. The Star Trek Commemorative Edition USS Enterprise Replica is a high quality perfect replica of the original NCC-1701 model.

It measures about 32-inches long and scales at 1:350.

The model is expertly crafted based on the surviving studio miniature.

It features durable construction and cool illuminated warp drive nacelles.

Limited edition of only 1,250 pieces, although it’s been available for a while now so I don’t think the “limited” part is forcing a buying rush.  I last spotted it in February 2009 so I think the price has probably put a few people off.

Still, expensive or not, this is a high quality prop replica that any serious Star Trek collector would love to have in their collection.

Price: US $1,199.99.

Check it out at Entertainment Earth.
