That's interesting.. I too thought it was QMX -- but wasn't there some principal crossover between those companies?
Heck, MRL was supposed to be offering the Operative's sword and Mal's coat this summer, but it apparently never happened.
Frustrating, eh?
Anyhow, about the only thing Firefly/Serentiy I'm really interested in now is a "conversion kit" to take to a gunsmith along with a Taurus to make a Mal pistola. If said "kit" is mounted on an airsoft or other dummy frame, that's just fine, so long as the brass shell ain't so thin it couldn't stand being wrapped around the real thing. Heck, even rough casts straight from the mold would be awesome.

Guys.
Master Replicas does not have a license to manufacture anything from Serenity. It's as simple as that.
An e-mail to Master Replicas will confirm this should you have any doubts or even care to go to such lengths.
QMx is indeed the primary license holder for all Serenity props & ships.
Just a friendly FYI :thumbsup

Yeah, this is crap, no offense. I dunno what's up with QMX, but I'm 99% certain that MR would not pick up the licence if it were available. In the podcast SD pretty much said that when they picked up the licence, the reaction was 'You want that??'

Regardless of maker, I am good with "Shelf Pieces". For those of us who do not dress up/ wear costumes, even things like Mal's gun are really just shelf pieces anyway. I am more then happy that someone will be making something, then I am worry aboiut what they start making. Regardless of how much I love the show, the fact that someone is making props of a short-lived (cancelled) TV show from a few years ago, and a movie that just did "alright" at the box office suprises me, but makes me happy.

I can't speak for most people, but for myself I prefer something that can be used over just shelf peices. It adds to the prop that way in my mind. If it is useable/wearable then obviously it will work as a shelf display, the same cannot be said for the other way around.

Functional is key, in my mind... better have the prop work instead of static, even though it will only be sitting on a shelf for most of its life.
Though, that doesn't mean I don't buy static props... but prefer functional.

Type of replicas: Who cares... either way...
As for who has the license, more than one company can be licensed to produce items, wouldn't be the first time.

So you are easy going , The reason I ask the question in my circle of friends we all want stuff to wear
to events. I want to see if the rest of the world feels that way or it is just us.

Then don't rely on licensed items.
MAKE YOUR OWN.
If you don't have the skills. Learn the skills.
That used to be the only option.
That's what this place was built on anyway.
Then it doesn't matter who has the license or what mass produced piece they make.

Functional props all the way, they can work as both shelf and costume pieces. I'd rather have a shelf peice that is durable enough to be a costume piece if the mood struck than something that only looks pretty on the shelf.

Jeez, calm down friend. QMX is just about to launch an entire line of Serenity replicas, and everyone was suprised by your "matter of fact" first post I think. This is a board of people who are not shy about correcting other members, but the fact is no one is absolutely sure which products are coming from the film first.

It ain't just you. Not by a mile.
If you are that hell bent on aquiring costumes, try abbeyshot, and check the junkyard for Jayne T's. Wash wears jumpsuits and flight suits, and from time to time a shiny hawaiian shirt.
Firefly and Serenity fans have the ability to create non-canon costumes and props too, that are still very recognizable as being from The Verse.
