We have finally arrived as a fandom.

Dark Horse Comics announced the official Serenity lunchbox with the Fruity Oaty Bar ad on the front, Serenity logo on the back, and currency bordering it.

On sale September 16, 2007
8" x 7" x 3 3/4" (approx. 20.3cm x 17.8cm x 9.5cm)
US$17.99

Mock-up [links broken up]:

Serenity logo back: http://comicbookresources.com/news/preview2.php?image=solicits/darkhor

In addition to the 宁静 Ning2jing4 (Serenity) of the logo, there will be the Chinese words from the Fruity Oaty Bar commercial. They are the flavors 香蕉 xiang1jiao1 (banana), 金橘 jin1ju2 (kumquat), and 鳳梨 feng4li2 (pineapple). The animated strawberry [草莓 cao3mei2] in the commercial was misleading advertising and drove River crazy.

One of our very own fff.netters made an
original lunch box last year. Quite a
beauty it was, too.

>may have to buy one!

Penguin, does this mean you'll be giving up
the old Hollie Hobbie?

If I have the money, I may just have to buy one. Not that I need a lunch box, but I'm sure I could find some interesting use for it, like storage or something.

I noticed that too, FB. They were quite taken with our Penguin til they started actually plotting to be mean to him. Quite unlike ANer's usually.
You must have got them riled up, Penguin.

First off, thanks for the compliment to we of the Appreciatin' Nathan crew. *bows*

Secondly, that was the first thing that leaped to my mind when seeing these too. It's Nuclearday who made it. Here is the link to his page...

http://www.fireflyfans.net/showprofile.asp?un=nuclearday

I hope he notices ( don't see him much here anymore )

and comes on the thread and gets some compliments.

There is a shiny pic of his finished product.

Just scroll down past his blog entries and look to the right and there is the link to his lunchbox, first BSR item.

From here to the eyes and the ears of the 'Verse!

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

Dig the lunchbox and will be getting one.

Nuclearday's lunchbox was cool. Wonder where Nuclearday got to. Hasn't been around since September of last year.

I would buy one if i wasn't so worried about the connotations of an 18 year old guy having a lunch box, just seems wrong to me.

It was cool!

I dunno, I wrote him a PM and invited him to come see the new official lunchbox and get kudos on his.
I hope he comes back and visits us.
I hate it when friends from here disappear.

Nothing is wrong when you're enjoying a new product put out in the 'Verse and when you're promoting it, Shukes.
Answer the call of your inner geek and get the lunchbox.

If nothing else, use it to store something 'Verse related on a shelf. Your purchase encourages more 'Verse merchandise and thus more 'Verse.

Definitely a must have! Forget about using it to carry lunch. It'll be a great marketing tool...people will just have to ask about it. It must be big enough to keep an extra DVD set to loan out to those interested folk, right?

If I'm gonna dream, I'm gonna dream big.

Penguin, I think the girls over on the Appreciatin' Nathan thread are sorry for being so mean to you.
Now they're talkin' about missin' you. You'll have to stop on over and give them a second chance.

Right! Or you can package them differently and make it work.

Perfect idea for the lunchbox!

I ain't exactly worried about the reactions of other browncoats to my owning the lunchbox, but more other people who either have refused my urgings to watch the series and those who i have not had chance to annoy senseless with ramblings of "fireflys like the best tv show ever". People of that type may beat me with sticks and alike, thats what im scared of.
