Which was that?
$62.21 shipped.
But I didn't know there would be more, so I was willing to pay that.
But it's not on my "bargains-I-scored" list, that's for sure!
I win some, I lose some; its the nature of the hobby.

I'da' bought the pitcher too, but I haven't found a screencap of it yet.
(All three of the other items can be seen in Inara's shuttle as she walks to the cockpit after the Alliance kid leaves in the pilot. The little candelabras are together to the left of the dragon thingy.
(My last crazy purchase for a while)

SCORE!!
Browncoats Rule!
That dragon thing is HUGE!
You sure you can't make it to the prop party?
I'm bringing some cool Inara stuff.
If not, I'll have it up in my collection thread in a little while.

Anyone know who owns the statue of Jayne from Jaynestown? I read a long time ago that someone won the statue, or the head at least.
Any ideas?
.... a couple of minutes later ....
I found a picture on flickr where Jason Carter auctions off the head and the sign
And luckily the guy who won the auction posted a comment to it

I got the Smoker Gal shirt. It shows up in two of my favorite episodes, Out of Gas, and Heart of Gold. The only pic I have at the moment is the one I got off the eBay site. Here you go:

Re: Ethics
Since Kurt and Dr Slurpee have successfully offered reproductions of the tshirts from Firefly without the peasants getting out the torches and pitchforks, would it be safe to acquire a set of measurements and see if it could be noodled out in a 3D program?
From where I sit, the line seems to be it's ok to do it if you put a little nogginsweat into it, but... oh hell, Rob offers castings from the Hero Jayne pistol.
The line appears to move with whomever is offering something and how badly people want the item in question.
However, I would also like a negative for making granola bars. Even found a place that sells food grade silicone for the molds.

I have a very accurate Smoker shirt on Cafepress if anyone is interested. I managed to find the same vintage artwork that they used on the show and I airbrushed the additional colors in Photoshop.
And Mike, regarding recasting somehting you bought that is off a screen used... the forums rules are a bit weird. You're allowed to do it as long as you didn't get it from a forum member. How many times have you seen someone on this forum screaming because someone ripped off the thing that they themselves ripped off!? :wacko

I'd be happy to post dimensions once I have mine.
I did the same thing for joatrash when he made the metal Jubal Early pistols.
I sent him a dimensioned sketch of the pistol pieces and hi-res photos of my,
"supposed-to-be-cast-from-screenused", pistols.
I think the final results speak for themselves.
Beyond that, if the original maker is still pulling copies, I'd rather not step on any toes;
especially since I'm not in this hobby to squeeze a buck out of fellow fans.
I'm not sure the demand always meets the expectations.
I hope bluefive did OK on the Simon Baton deal that we did, but I don't know.

Is there some big DragonCon/Firefly correlation no one told me about? :confused

It's where I found out about Firefly. :lol
I have to admit I'm not a huge Joss fan. I think he's talented and a very witty person with whom I'd like to share a beer, but I don't worship the ground he walks on or automatically think anything he does is teh awesome.
I say that because if anybody in this world should have been a Buffy fan, it's me. I played V:tM from the first edition, was Chapter Coordinator for the Camarilla chapter in Ocala for a couple years... I liked vampires. But the series left me... meh. Forever Knight was a much better series to me. So one year we're at Dragon and I keep hearing all these whispers about "firefly." I see these huge lines snaking along for events dedicated to this "firefly" thing.
I wonder what I'm missing out on.
I find out it's something to do with Joss Whedon, whom I had heard of from Buffy, and while that didn't exactly pique my curiosity, the fact that about half of the attendance of D*C seemed to be arm wrestling for spots at this "firefly" thing did. So I get home, *cough*download*cough* the series...
And fell in love.
So yeah, there is for me a personal correlation, as well as a more general one. Tristan and the 76th Independents march in the parade and usually throw a Shindig and there are *tons* of unaffiliated fans. And they usually manage to rope in at least a couple of the stars. Heck, last year my brother had dinner with Nathan "Tightpants" Fillion.

Sorry, Mike, no way I can get there. Too much life in the way.
However, I'm going with my girlfriend to our first DragonCon this year.
I'm a member of the 76th (E Co.) and we plan to decorate our room like Inara's shuttle(ish).
So guess what might be coming down with us?
I'll be marching in uniform, but unfortunately, Tristan won't be making it this time `round. I'm just itchin' for that shindig now, though.
Goodwolf; I share your view on Joss, Firefly was the first thing of his that grabbed me, though. It obviously hasn't yet let go. Though for some reason, I was hooked when it was just being promoed and hadn't even aired yet.

Bummer!
Likewise on Joss.
He's a master of dialogue and has some good tales to tell,
but his penchant for creating characters for us to love only to kill them off,
leaves me cold.
Don't:
create a phoney-baloney world where the criminals are the good guys,
never kill innocents or rob anyone but bad guys,
and don't get caught even tho' they really would be;
and then pretend you made it real by killing a beloved character.
The more I watch the BDM Serenity, the less I like it.

Another of my more heretical views is that I have never exactly been a big fan of the BDM. I mean, I liked it and all, but not to the extent of the TV show. I think part of it was the quasi retconning of Mal and Simon, the gratuitous killing of characters, the rushed feel of the tying up of loose ends, and ultimately it was the music that kinda left me meh.
Greg Edmonson's score was a perfect musical complement to the visuals, being as it blended many of the same elements.
If that makes sense.
Oh, thank you for that one Mike! Made my day. :thumbsup
Regarding the BDM... I can actually swallow the "first" crewmember to get killed. It hit home where it should and made the situation more horrible. But he second, near the end, was very poorly handled- perhaps the sloppiest piece of work Whedon has ever done.
I agree with your sentiments on the BDM, Goodwolf. Plus, I was disappointed with the redo of Serenity's interior. It didn't have the warm, homey feeling it had in the series. Too many blues and not near enough browns, yellows, oranges, etc.

The BDM:
If Wash hadn't been killed, I'd have not been so thoroughly shocked that I couldn't bring myself to see the movie again before it left the theaters.
Killing Wash killed revenue, and that contributed to killing a sequel.
Also; Book didn't need to die either. Had he just slipped into a coma or something and been baggage for the crew to lug through in the final Reaver battle, the scene could have been written to REALLY seem like they were on the raggedy edge with all hope lost.
The spectre of mortal danger causes the audience emotional commitment. And actual (character) death often discards it.
And now; back to our props. I have two movie grenades and Mals pistol magazine.
I also have a TV serenity control panel, a single bill, and three PALs.
Y'all know what I'm about to get.
