World's Tiniest Firefly

Happy New Year, fellow Core-Techs! Thought we’d kick off the year with a sneak peek at a fun little item we currently have in development – the Firefly Keychain.

We’ve been working on this one for over a year now. If making a big Firefly replica is challenging, then making a small one is no less so, as you try to decide what details to keep, what to reject, and how to take a ship that in “real life” is over 269 feet long and shrink it – convincingly – down to two inches.

Cast is solid metal, the keychain has real heft to it. We used the studio CG effects files, shrunk down to a ridiculous extent, to capture the design, but obviously had to make many tweaks along the way. But our designers love a challenge, and we just couldn’t resist the idea of a Serenity that fits in your pocket and that you can carry around with you, where ever you go.

    Hiya, I would love if these could be able to be bought before the first day of spring cause then is my gf’s b-day! Is there any weird possibility for this..? And to ship to Europe (not the Jupiters moon:P) :D

    I’ve just recently stumbled to this fine Kuh ai site and read it all (not skipping lines from the beginning of it) and I’m thrilled at what you’ve guys done. It actually all started – my search through the net cortex – after the third watch of the series and the movie. I just can’t get enough of Firefly and Serenity…

    So Anyways, I WANT THAT JING CHAI FIREFLY ACCESSORY ASAP! :D

    cheers
