LIVE AUCTION
There will be five incredible items up for grabs in this year’s Live Auction. A selection of prizes are listed below, and we’ll be adding a few more soon. Winning bidders must pay in cash at the conclusion of the auctions.
SERENITY POSTER SIGNED BY JOSS WHEDON
This poster was signed by Joss Whedon on the set of Cabin in the Woods in Vancouver in 2009. It measures 11″x17″ (29cm x 43cm) and is signed in silver ink. The poster was obtained directly from Universal Studios in 2005 during a pre-release event in Los Angeles.
JAYNE PACK
This pack is a must for Jayne fans. It features an autographed photo of Adam Baldwin as Jayne, a hand knitted Jayne hat (made with love by Kat, who advises that it’s made of seriously expensive 100% wool hand dyed in Wales, is not machine washable and it will shrink like a shrinkydink if it’s chucked in the wash), plus postcards featuring Adam Baldwin in the original Jayne hat and a stylised Jayne by FireflyStore.net.
SERENITY SCHEMATICS
Created by Avitech Graphics in California, this amazing piece features Serenity and details her schematics. This is not a poster, it is a reflective, engraved piece of aluminium. It measures 12″x24″, is mounted on black foam core and ready for framing. Photos do not truly convey this stunning piece of art, so check out a sample of Avitech’s work on YouTube.
DOLLHOUSE
Catch up on Season 1 of Joss Whedon’s latest foray into Television with this Region 1 set of Dollhouse. Not yet released in Australia, this box set has been signed by Dollhouse stars, Eliza Dushku, Dichen Lachman and Summer Glau.
