That Mal looks incredible !

I actually bought him with my tax refund and I'm just now getting him. I only have one Hot Toys (89 Batman) and I have had a few Sideshow Star Wars figures and Mal seems like he's pretty good quality for the most part. His jacket and articulation are particularly nice but the way the sleeves are stitched in his armpit, it's impossible to get him in a shooting pose. There are two different head sculpts included, but I have no idea why. Both heads have the same expression and one is much more realistic and has a better likeness to Nathan Fillion. It would have been better to lose the second head and have a rifle and some other accessories in its place. You should totally buy one.

While I'm bragging about my Firefly swag, here's a photo of a peice of artwork I bought a few years ago. It's from the cover of a Free Comic Book Day Serenity comic and the image was reused for the Leaves on the Wind Hardcover. It's by Daniel Dos Santos and is a print on canvas. It's as close to having the original as you can get. It's the same size as the original and is the only copy he had made, or at least that's what Dos Santos told me when I bought it. He told me not to post it on Facebook or other social media because since Fox owns the rights to Firefly, he could get in legal trouble for selling copies. I don't imagine that anyone on the Fox legal team is scouring toy collector forums, so I guess it's no big deal to put up a photo here. I had it professionally matted and framed at Michael's with special glass that keeps out damaging UV rays.
