This Firefly t-shirt may not be ugly, but it is done in the ugly sweater style. It’s actually shiny. It would look good with Jayne Cobb’s hat too.

In fact, it looks like something Ma Cobb would knit for her boy to keep him warm while out in the cold of space. It features Serenity herself, some Cobb hats, Mal’s blaster and the sudden but inevitable betrayal of dinosaurs.

This shirt is a limited edition, so if you want one you better get one quick. It will only cost you $14.95(USD) from QMX. It makes the perfect Christmas gift for your fellow geeks too.

Firefly Jayne Dress-up Magnets are Like Paper Dolls for Geeks

Posted on by

My daughter had a birthday recently, and one of the things she received was a notebook of those paper punch-out dolls that you can put clothing on. They are all over the place and it seems I am constantly picking up little paper underwear from the floor. Here’s something similar, only much geekier.

Firefly Jayne Dress-up Magnets have debuted and they are pretty cool, assuming you can get past a magnetic dude in his undies on your fridge. The officially-licensed Firefly collectible comes with the clothing he wears on the show, weapons, and some words you can put around him.

Yes, the set does include his weird goggle hat too. You can pick up your set of magnetic Jayne dress up dolls at ThinkGeek for $7.99(USD). This would be the perfect Christmas gift for a friend who likes science fiction, while staying under the $10 budget most friends are worth at Christmas.

Film-scale Serenity Replica Costs as Much as a Nice Used Car

Back in July, I talked about an awesome film-scale Serenity model that was on display from QMx. A lot of people got all hot and bothered at the thought of owning that model. If you were one of those who got excited, you can own your own now.

Firefly Clue Helps Find Who Sold out River

Posted on by

I love it when old-fashioned board games are gussied up with some new features and aimed at fans of various TV shows. Take this Firefly Clue board game. But this time you’re not looking for who killed Colonel Mustard and what implement they used. Firefly Clue’s objective it to identify who helped the Alliance kidnap River Tam.

This is an officially licensed board game for three to six players. The game has nine collectable metal tokens that represent items used to betray River. The token include a six shooter, Vera, a teapot, wrench, dinosaur, torn book, med kit, leather necklace, and the Hands of Blue.

Duct Tape Serenity: Serenitape

Posted on by

Duct tape is a wonderful invention. It can be used for all sorts of things from the actual taping of ducts to holding the windshield or fender on your car. You can also use duct tape as an artistic medium, as a dude named Jacob LaRocca demonstrated at the World Maker Faire.

He built an impressively accurate replica of Serenity from Firefly made completely out of duct tape. The little light-colored sections you see are rolled up bits of duct tape with the sticky adhesive on the outside.

This thing is awesome. In total, it took Jacob 23 pounds of duct tape and over 110 hours of work to build the ship. I bet his hands were a sticky mess after a day’s work on this thing. Check out the complete build log up on Imgur.

Papercraft Serenity from QMx: Paperenity

Posted on by

Growing up, the local dollar store had these cool papercraft coloring books that had pages of spaceships you could color and then fold to create 3D ships I liked to hang from my ceiling. QMx has a great papercraft reproduction of Serenity from Firefly that reminds me a lot of those coloring books from my youth.

The big difference here is that the ship is Serenity and those in the books growing up were more like the shuttlecraft from that old show “V.” If Serenity isn’t your thing, you can also get a Malcolm Reynolds papercraft as well.

QMx is the company that made that giant Serenity replica we talked about last month. To get the papercraft model, you have to spend at least $25 on Firefly products via the company website.
