Fire-Fly Fans - New Serenity Model available

Eoghann confirms that if you are a Fire-Fly fan and haven't got a couple of kilobucks to spare on huge models of Serenity then this 1:400th scale model might just be what will keep you happy through the dark months. This newest model is a hair under 100 and is still wonderfully detailed for the modest outlay.

As QMonline puts it: Smaller, But Still Plucky as Ever. As you can see in the pic - not off the mark at all. Qmxonline.com says that this unique item will be available in December of 2011 and if that is not exciting enough....check out some of the product description:

• about 8 inches long – out of dozens of parts, some as small as a millimeter. Her intricate design matches the Firefly TV series version of the ship in every detail: She was created using the show's actual CG files.

Now that is what I call sweet!

Firefly back on TV

From an article in IO9 I read where the still very popular Science fiction series Firefly will once again grace the "small" screen.

The Science channel has purchased the rights to the series and will begin showing episodes March 6th at 8pm. The episodes then will be shown in proper sequence that was intended, each Sunday there after. The Science Channel is adding HD to the mix to spice things up a bit.

Firefly Novel from Steven Brust!

Hey, I just read over on the IO9 blog that writer Steven Brust, best known for his fantasy/scifi Dragaeran series, has done something that should warm all the fans of Josh Weadon's Firefly hearts. Brust has written a free ebook set in the Firefly universe. And by free I mean Creative Commons free. Down load it, copy it, distribute it, as long as it's NFP, knock yourself out! IO9 contributor Newitz writes that "Brust has done a great job capturing the humor and out-West action feel of the series."
