Does anyone make Farscape mini models?
« on: 12 September 2010, 04:23:07 AM »
I was wondering, did anyone ever make some models based on the characters from the Farscape TV series?

Nope (sadly)
Some of course are easy to find stand-ins for, some not so easy :(

Shame you can get figures for it.

Great series at the start. It lost its way towards the end and the final episode was utter......pants (I don't like to swear!) but it was a fucking awful ending.

I heard the last episode was bad so have never watched it!

I thought the Peacekeeper Wars was a good ending. It was a film made of a series' story arc but that's better than no series at all.

So they get machine gunned in a rowing boat. Pretty good ending for a sci-fi series eh? This is a series I liked, spent time watching, gave my attention,  and they treat me like that? Machined gunned in a **&kng row boat?  What the.....?

That isn't the end of Farscape, that's just the cliffhanger for the end of season 4.

I kinda lost track of Farscape when there was two versions of the main character running about, think it was time slot jumping quite a bit.

There's more...? Please tell me there's more....

Sorry Sci fi and black leather is a winning combo for me...always was always, will be .


The Peacekeeper Wars is a mini series that wraps everything up.

Didnt they edit it into a tv-movie? Saw bits on Chanel 5 last year, couldnt make heads nor tail of what was going on.

Who knows? Who cares? The region 1 two-disc set is the best version. I can't remember why the other versions are inferior because it was a long time ago when I bought it but I remember there being problems with some versions. Amazon reviewers will know.

Oh it became such a convolulted story to try and keep it going (Lost anyone?) that even fans started to struggle. But the female leads were....


kind of fabulously superb. Not 'beautiful', just magnificent.

Ohhhh, that Claudia Black  :-* ;D

I disagree, Farscape had the hottest sci-fi vixens EVER, outside of T'Pal played by Jolene Blaylock from Enterprise.

I always thought Zhaan was unbelievably hot.  Beautiful, graceful, and quitely badass.  She was too good for Crichton.
All my best ideas are someone elses

That show was all about sexual frustration in space, I was surprised it was a Jim Henson production really because of it.

At one point I recall D'argo's son was banging his his girlfriend Chiana, and then she took him back and he was all jacked about that for the rest of the series run. I don't think there was a chick on that show I didn't have the hots for, except for Noranti and Grayza, and even Grayza had a few hotness moments before she was all pregnant. Zhaan was getting naked every chance she could get too. Did you know she was one of the chicks from the original Road Warrior movie too?

I was so crushed when they ended Farscape, because I got into it as it was close to the end of the run. I actually hated it at first, but then it grew on me, and I realized just how cool it was. It was nice to see that SyFi channel ended up using Ben Browder and Claudia Black on the Stargate Series, but it just wasn't the same.

So now Farscape ends up in that hall of fame for obscure and short ran sci-fi TV series of days gone be, right along side classics like Space 1999 and the Planet of the Apes TV Series.
