HELP SAVE AERYN!
March
8, 2003: The Commando Aeryn action figure is in danger of being cancelled, but Toy Vault
has come up with a possible solution. If it comes down to the wire, instead of canceling
the figure altogether, there’s a chance they might produce a small quantity of them
for a premium price - $29.95.
NEW AERYN ACTION FIGURE PUT
ON HOLD
 March 4, 2003: Sadly,
the new Aeryn boxed figure has been put on hold by Toy Vault.
A spokesman for Toy Vault told Newscape that they're waiting to see how orders go on Farscape
Reunited, which are incredibly small to date. Retailers are passing on ordering the figures, saying
that since Farscape has been cancelled, they're not going to order merchandise from the show.
There is one other possibility that Toy Vault is
considering if they can't go ahead with the full run. A limited edition of Commando
Aeryn at a higher price of $29.95 could be the solution. Toy Vault wants to know how you
feel about this. Click Here to cast your vote as to

ACTION FIGURE
PRODUCTION SUSPENDED
February
6, 2003: Sadly, the next issue of the Farscape Reunited series of action figures has been
suspended by Toy Vault. According to a spokesman for Toy
Vault, sales on the first two figures were "fairly dismal" and retailers "tell us
they don't want to buy them because the series is discontinued." UPDATE: In addition to the news about the Reunited series of figures,
Toy Vault's spokesman also told us that although the Aeryn Commando figure (see
images below) is still a go for now, they reserve the right to cancel if their pre-production
orders are less than 1/3 of the production run. |

If you want one of these figures,
your best bet is to preorder from one of the online stores offering preorders or to email them
requesting the figures. Here are several you can try:

January 27, 2003 UPDATE:
Toy Vault's first two figures in the Farscape Reunited line are finished and
in the shops. Farscape Reunited features

changes. Zhaan will be disguised as Arala, the pirate persona she used in Liars, Guns and Money
to set up a robbery of the shadow depository. Crichton will be wearing his
wedding clothes from Look
at the Princess. |

BOBBLEHEADS
 D'ARGO STATUE
January
19, 2003: There'll be a new Farscape statue coming out this winter from Toy Vault. It's called D'Argo, Luxan Warrior. It's a pre
painted statue of D'Argo (no surprise there) looking quite fierce and ready to hack something (or
somebody) with his qualta blade. He stands 11 inches tall and was sculpted by John Allard.
In other
Toy Vault news, the plush Rygel toy has been put off until sometime in 2003.
