Serenity - QMx's Serenity Ship Papers

Anybody else read QMx Insider 2.0, or am I the only one signed-up for e-mail updates?

If you haven't read it yet, check this out (a nice update to the site layout, too):

QMx is releasing Serenity's ship papers, and they will be on sale August 25th (6PM EDT). $119.95 is a little pricy, I thought, but hey; that's how much Whitefall's original wallet + papers go for these days (roughly), but it is limited to 1,500 pieces worldwide, so I guess that explains the price.

If I have the money around that time I'll buy a set.

I knew it!!!! I knew it!!!

also they are rerelasing the blueprints to serenity but in a scaled down size.....

personalized BSG dogtags.........

this is going to be interesting

the BIG question will be ARE THESE avalible or are they just a preorder?

They're not available right now, but they will be on the 25th (according to their site). I don't think you can pre-order them, though.

YEAH!!

More paper products from QMx!!

No mention of the Mal pistol in that release eh?

From the new QMX site:

Capt. Malcolm Reynolds’ Sidearm
Doing the impossible
Yes, that’s right. We are doing the Mal Pistol replica. And we’re busy making it better. Better, you ask? Yes, faster, stronger, um, available. Stay tuned. All we can say is it’ll be worth the wait.

I saw that, too. I just want some more pictures of it with the stand, plaque, etc., so I can decide whether to put some money aside for it or not!

When they produce it, i'm getting one, no question.

I'm actually looking forward to the ship papers. Though I'm getting tired of waiting on the pistol.

I don't recall seeing any ship papers in Serenity. Better not tell Fox....

Im glad im not the only one that noticed that,...... yes they WERE in serenity.... they were just in the glove box!

only 10 posts?

i really would have expected alot more "noise" about these items

There's only so many times people can say the same things over and over and over until they annoy even themselves. I, for one, am appreciating the mature attitudes being displayed, with regard to restraint being demonstrated.

hunh... they used the Tam's real names in the passenger roster. That'll be fun on their next stop.

So now I got to decide do I get the ships papers and display next to my origanal Whitefall edition.? LOL

Kaylee,

Good point - that was actually a tough call. After some discussion, we decided to leave the real names even though Mal clearly wouldn't have done that. Since that sheet is intended as a place to get BDH autographs, we thought it would be cooler to have the real character names listed. And "cool" is one of the things we were going for.

Simon and River will just have to shoot it out with any Alliance goons they run into. But after the Reavers, I don't think that'll be a problem.

so whitefall can you confirm that , on aug 25th that these WILL BE IN STOCK? or are these just a preorder vaporware?

No, these are paper so they'll be in stock. QMx does paper very well.

(The leather wallet will be out for re-tooling until next year though due to supplier disputes.)

Yup, I can confirm that they're in stock now, and wrapped for shipping.

Mlarson007 - I wanted to say "thanks" for picking up the previous set! Although several pages look similar in teeny-tiny thumbnail mode, I actually rebuilt every single page from scratch. Serenity graphic designer Geoffrey Mandel was generously offering input, so he had a lot of suggestions to maintain the look, feel and detail of the 'Verse. (Not to mention source art which I gleefully swapped in for the stuff I was using.)

There's also new material that was a blast to do, like the Beaumonde decon ticket. (Although that "neural warning" freaks me out.)

Which is, I believe, what makes this a Serenity prop and not a Firefly one. The ships' paper set from Firefly was just some stock legal-looking documents wrapped in a leather holder. It was never intended to be seen closeup so they didn't bother making new sheets. Whitefall's excellent replica duplicated the look and made it more 'verse-ready, but that's all. The new version has been completely redone with documents designed specifically for it, with (as the man said) input from the movie's graphic designer. And Whitefall really stretched himself this time, the pages look fantastic.

Well, I'll definitely be getting a set.

If it is anything like your previous offering Ben, it is probably fantastic.

Good luck!

I'm hoping they're adjusting the left/right paragraph justification on the first page of the ships papers before they go to print.

I ordered the Ship papers when the Amnesty offer was good. Their warehouse still hasn't shipped my Ship Papers, but Ben is without a doubt on top of his game & on the ball. He got the Amnesty document to me already. Since my display when done is going to focus on Mal, I had Ben do the amnesty document for Mal. Quick pic for those that were wondering what it looks like.

I still havent got my amnesty paper yet, I got my ship papers like 2 weeks ago though
