Just dropped by local Comic Shop, 'Asylum Video and Comics' in Marietta and found out he'd just 'emailed' me to let me know Dark Horse 'Serenity' Ornament/display model was IN!
Wow
having been waiting for this item since two months BEFORE APRIL 19th
(when it was originally due out
) I finally got it in my hot little hands! Yummie!
Ok, it's NOT a 'dinky toy' or 'matchbox' or 'snaptite model'
it's a solidcast resin? plastic kit
pre-assembled and pre-painted and comes with a hook/string to hang on your Holiday Tree, etc
or put on the enclosed display stand with post for underside of ship.
For the 'completeist'
it probably leaves something to be desired and the small resin kit from MiniModelMadness might be an option if you want to superdetail a resin kit, (as I have) or there is the $80+ kit from the UK/Fed Models? for larger collectors
or one of the 'free' paper kits previously listed her in earlier threads on TMP
But for me
this is the 'right size' and just the right 'detail' and quality for either display or as a 'conversation piece' in a SERENITY RPG
I got the novel, the comic, the movie book, the RPG, screen and some other stuff coming soon
and have most of the websites 'bookmarked'
Now I gotta get my 'duster' ordered
(for Christmas of course)
in the meantime, I need to go put the soundtrack CD's on my player so I can 'get my calm enhanced'
.
