There has been an awakening in the swag. Have you felt it?
The chatter is well underway both in forums and on social media sites. Collectors are already starting to design and manufacture their own small runs of handmade goodies to give away. Many have already finished and are now just counting down the days until Star Wars Celebration Orlando. Before we delve too deep into what is to come, take a peek at what we've seen in the past from collectors. The creativity and love for Star Wars really comes out in these items. Fan swag has become one of the best parts of the collecting community and is a personal highlight of every Star Wars Celebration.
Let me kick off what is to be a multi part topic with some swag I had a hand in. This year I wanted to be sure to offer everyone's neck some relief. I've partnered with Jarrod Clark (designer), Tom Stewart and Jim Gibbons (co-sponsors) to make 150 Ewok Battle Swagon bags. Look for us at the convention and we'll have a bag for you (while supplies last). Now on to the swag!
Feeling inspired but not sure where to begin? This year there are more opportunities to take part in pre-Celebration Swag discussions than ever before:
Expect Part 2 of this Swag Round Up to be posted soon!
