One thing I just dont understand about this series (aside from NEVER promoting it, airing it in order and generally Frelling things up) is why FOX has yet to release any merchandising rights. I would pay good money for a real Firefly poster, or a replica model of Serenity. With the fanbase being as fanatical as we are, its obvious to a blind duck in sand that it would sell.

Heck, if some company can sell replica Browncoats for ~$500 each (and I will be getting one, once my next three paychecks come in) then surely some coffee mugs would sell.

What about you guys? What merchandise would you like to see?

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I already buy everything I can get my hands on (& can afford). I would gladly buy any Serenity or Firefly related merchandise they would release.

EMBERS

I think Fox lost the marketing rights when they sold the movie rights to Universal...

Universal did come out with three action figures, but they didn't look very good and I don't think they sold all that well (personally I thought that the Mal and Jayne looked terrible and I was bothered that they didn't give us a River even though she was clearly THE ACTION HERO!) grrr argh.

Anyway, when Universal finally makes a sequel I hope they will then come out with a lot more stuff, because I (like you) really want a Serenity model!

If they ever do decide to go the marketing route, they should make a line of Browncoats (made with real leather, not some cheap gose). While I'm all for the do-it-yourself line of thinking, for those of us that can't, it would be nice to have your very own coat as a way of showing your pride.

P.S. - They should also make Jayne-hats. I'm not that good at crocheting, so it would be extra shiny for me.

At last.
We can retire and give up
this life of crime.

I make Jayne hats and so do some other posters around here.
They are shiny!

More would be better.

Fox just recently released the Firefly Soundtrack. And now we have ipod Firefly.
I think Fox controls the rights to "Firefly" stuff. The Firefly Official Visual Companion books may be Fox stuff.

But Universal controls the rights to "Serenity" stuff. And there is a Serenity poster you can buy right from the home page of www.fireflyfans.net

There is a Serenity Model (Ornament). I ordered two from two different comic book stores.

Here is some Official Universal Serenity Stuff:

Serenity movie:

Serenity Dvd-Widescreen
Serenity Dvd-Fullscreen
Serenity VHS-Fullscreen
Serenity UMD Video for PSP (Handheld Sony PSP Game Player)
Serenity HD-DVD

Books:

Serenity by Keith R.A. DeCandido (novel based on the motion picture screenplay)
Serenity the Official Visual Companion
Serenity Role Playing Game -book not just for RPGers-
Serenity: Out in the Black by Tracy & Laura Hickman New RPG
Serenity: Those Left Behind the Graphic Novel.

Serenity the Official Movie Magazine --can still find some hidden on
the shelves in Comic book stores.

Music: Serenity soundtrack CD music by David Newman

Comic Books: Serenity 1,2,3 (3 comics - 9 different covers - or the graphic novel)

Universal Official Serenity T-Shirts at the mall Hot Topic stores.

Hot Topic employees can look up these numbers on their computers and see if
any of there Region stores have these shirts. They can transfer the shirts
to your store.
