Front Description
This item was listed as "Security Badge Lanyard Pin" on the D23 Available Merchandize sheet offered for sale to D23 members and their guests who attended the "D23 50th and Fabulous Toby Tyler Movie Event" held at the Walt Disney Productions Studios on March 27, 2010. This was the first in a series of 50th Anniversary movie events to be held at the studios in Burbank, CA.
Although listed on the sales sheet as "lanyard pin," it is not a pin. The face of this medallion is a replica of the patch worn by the security guards at the studio, however, it has been altered to have D23 in white added over the gold star in a dark blue circle at the bottom of the rounded edged triangular badge. Above that logo in gold letters are the words Walt Disney Productions on a light blue background edged with a yellow gold border. This metal medallion is an exact reproduction of the embroidered cloth patch that was given to D23 attendees of the Studio lot tours last Summer. This lanyard, however, was not a give-a-way, but was being sold to participants to the Toby Tyler event for $10.00. There is a possibility that this item will also be sold at future events.
The medallion on the lanyard is a gold colored metal with a splatter pattern on the back. There is no pin post on the back, but instead two sliders that hold the black string lanyard. The back has the Official D23 2010 logo with the words "(c)Disney Made in China."
