The Comic-Con season is in full swing, and it feels freaking good! There are so many great conventions heading our way. From Star Wars Celebration to NYCC there are some that are a must every year for Star Wars fans. One of those conventions you need to add to that list is ICCC in Nashville, Tennessee. Thanks to showrunner Michael Havens this convention seems to grow and grow every year, and this year is no different. Taking place April 29th through May 1st ICCC will host an epic Star Wars lineup fans will not want to miss. From the Original Trilogy to The Clone Wars ICC has you covered. You can check out the Offical lineup below.

Kenner Star Wars Toys

  • Tom Osborne: Osborne is a noted industrial designer, conceptualist, illustrator, and wordsmith. He has contributed to some of the most iconic brands in the toy industry. While Director of Design at Kenner, Osborne led designers, sculptors, and soft good designers in the creation and execution of such powerful product lines as Star Wars, Care Bears, Ghostbusters, Strawberry Shortcake, Play-Doh, Centurions, M.A.S.K. and many others.
  • Stephen Geddes: Geddes joined Kenner as an in-house sculptor in 1977, which coincided with Kenner’s acquisition of the toy rights for “Star Wars.” As a result, his early work involved sculpting, mold making, and casting hard copies for the Star Wars line. His first project was the Dianoga Trash Monster. Over the next few years, he would sculpt Walrus Man, the Tauntaun, the Dewback, Hoth Luke, the Hoth Rebel Soldier, Han Solo, the Dagobah playset, Lando Calrissian, the Rancor, Luke Jedi, and Chief Chirpa Ewok among many others.
  • Jim Swearingen: In 1976, Swearingen was working in Kenner’s preliminary design group when his boss, Dave Okada, came in with a script and some photographs from a new movie called “Star Wars.” Jim took the script home and read it. The next day he insisted Okada lock himself in his office and read it. “We have to do this,” he told him. “We have to make these toys.” From 1976-79, Star Wars became Swearingen’s baby.
  • Kim Simmons: Simmons the celebrated photographer who shot most of the imagery of the vintage Star Wars toy line produced by Kenner. In 1982, Kim created and shot a large-scale Hoth Battle Scene for Kenner and continued shooting Star Wars products until Hasbro’s Episode I line when Hasbro left Cincinnati in 2001.
  • Nancy Flanigan: Nancy began working for Kenner in 1975 after earning a BFA from the University of Cincinnati. Kenner was still housed in their old factory building on Sycamore Street. As a Sculptor Trainee, Nancy started in the Model Shop, where models and molds were made to create working samples of toys for Toy Fair. This intro to toy production was invaluable knowledge for a sculptor.
  • Tim Effler: Effler has been in the creative development business for over 40 years and is currently writing a book about his contribution to Kenner’s Star Wars toy line.  More recently, as Director of Advanced Concepts at Hasbro, he contributed to many of their most successful lines including Star Wars, Batman, Ghost Busters, and the Jurassic Park logo concept and toy lines.

Authors

  • Timothy Zahn (author) is known for creating the character Thrawn: Wrote Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, Thrawn, Thrawn Alliances, Thrawn Ascendancy.
