Have you tried to contact Nathan? He seems to be a nice guy very devoted to fans about the whole FF thing, so maybe he could at least assist you in a copyright thing.
I'm asking cause I'd get it in a heartbeat was it about firefly, but now it's just too far from the original theme IMO: novelties are off, deskmat art is as well.
I need to clarify that although Firefly is the inspiration for this set, I draw more inspiration from the main character Malcolm Reynolds, and also other characters like him in other shows. Just as the intro says, it's the character that is cocky, witty, charming, lives on the edge, and often skirts the line between hero and villain. Another character that I think fits that description is Han Solo, especially in the original trilogy, which a lot more people have seen then Firefly. So well I do think the novelties could use a bit more of a "Firefly" theme, I'd also not to like to alienate the folks that haven't seen the show or the movie. I'm afraid if I delve to far into Firefly, the set will only apply to a very few specific people, esp. because it is already in SA profile.
And that's another reason why I don't think a licensed set is the way to go. SP SA is already expensive enough. If we add on a license deal it will mostly likely be out of the budget of the majority in the community
AND it still has to appeal to enough people with hefty wallet's to make MOQ. There can be a licensed set for Star Wars because the fan base is exponentially larger. Now, maybe I'm wrong, and if I am, I hope folks will show up here in overwhelming numbers and tell me so. For now, I'll likely change 'Pardon' to 'Shiny' to appeal to those who would like a bit more Firefly vibe, but please remember two things:
1. The set is mainly inspired by Malcolm Reynolds
and characters like him.
2. We still need to make MOQ, and I don't know if we can do that by homing in exclusively on Firefly so that the set is off-putting to those who haven't seen the show (This is also why I had the Warp deskmat made).
I do appreciate all of the feedback.
Please fill out the form if you haven't already. I read every comment, but besides that, it'll help me find a vendor more quickly.
PS: To those who would like a bit more Firefly, I hope you've also looked at the kits. The TKL and ortho kits contain some extra text novelties that are not in the novelty kit, that help to enhance the Malcolm Reynold's (Firefly) theme - specifically there's a text mod that specifically says "Mal".
