One dozen different medallions will be given away at random times during the Star Wars Celebration IV collecting panels. Here are just four of the twelve designs, which were inspired by the twelve very first Star Wars action figures released by Kenner.

Star Wars collectors and fans of vintage Kenner toys will not want to miss the collecting panels at Star Wars Celebration IV this May. The panels, scheduled starting at 10 AM each morning from May 25 through May 28, will not only feature great information and discussions for serious collectors. Now, thanks to the help of dedicated sponsors, attendees at the panel could receive an extremely limited, exclusive give-away. Two-inch pewter medallions, commemorating the first twelve Star Wars action figures originally released by the Kenner toy company, will be given away at twelve randomly-selected collecting panels over the course of the weekend.

The solid pewter medallions, designed by artist and Star Wars collector Jeff Correll, feature imagery based on actual Kenner toy photography. The stylized fronts have the figures in action poses in a variety of Star Wars environments. To maintain the vintage toy tradition, the reverse sides feature updated text from Kenner's 1985 Power of the Force coin line explaining the character's place in the Star Wars universe.

"This pewter medallion give-away is limited to 350 of each," says Gus Lopez, the uber-collector who is organizing the panels at Celebration IV. "They will be distributed individually to audience members at twelve different panels." The medallions will be amazing collectibles, and represent wonderful memories of a weekend spent celebrating 30 years of Star Wars and all that is to come. Lopez and his fellow collectors have truly put together what could be the most unique Star Wars convention collectible ever!

"We'd like to thank our gracious sponsors who are all Star Wars collectors in their own right, for helping make this giveaway a reality," concludes Lopez. "And thanks to Jeff Correll, whose hard work and artistic insight helped breathe life into these exciting items. We look forward to seeing everyone at the collecting panels in May!"
