"We're excited to return to Comic-Con and to reward our passionate fans with exclusive Keepsake Ornaments and first-looks at new products," Beth Dorr, associate merchandise manager for Keepsake Ornaments, stated for the press release. "This year, we're bringing back fan-favorite activities, such as daily pin giveaways, and offering new activities, including autograph sessions with a Hallmark Keepsake Ornament artist."
Among the three exclusive ornaments, set to be sold and given sneak peeks into from July 11-15 at Comic-Con according to the press release, include: "4-LOM and Zuckuss," a two-pack featuring criminal droid 4-LOM and Gand tracking expert Zuckuss from the second installment from the "Star Wars" saga, "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back," created exclusively for event sales like Comic-Con.
