Special thanks to WTYP for letting me know this exists.
And since Disney owns Marvel, this isn't even an infringement of copyright
This is a tribal identity device commonly used in the military, but I guess Disney security qualifies. The idea of a challenge coin is that any other member of the tribe can come up to you and challenge you to produce your coin. If you can't, there is some penalty, usually having to buy drinks or dinner. See, it's a useless thing that you have to keep track of, it's jingling in your pocket all the time, so it's an annoying dongle. Which is the whole idea - only a tribe member would expend the effort for something worthless in any other context.
Nobody aside from maybe boomer vets does any of that shit. Those challenge coins are useless desk decor and that's pretty much it.
The fact that I genuinely can't tell if this is real or not is breaking my brain. After learning about the Portland Police's riot gear wearing Baby Yoda pin I just can't tell anymore.
Undoubtedly inspiring ten thousand articles about the Baby Yoda pin, while the police crack heads without a media news article about it.
Yup, not to mention it becoming a light hearted social media meme because of course
I mean, that tracks; Jedi were incredibly lib brained (religious adherence to order, aversion to change, etc)
I haven't seen the show but I've been told that baby Yoda isn't Yoda as a baby but a baby that's the same kind of animal as whatever Yoda is
This is true, but the baby is Force sensitive

and is taken by Luke at the end to be trained as a Jedi, presumably
If you ignore all of the star wars mumbo jumbo, and what's her name's bigotry, it's actually pretty engaging and funny at times
Minus the Star Wars Pastiche, it's basically a series of old Samurai movies and Westerns.
Mandalorian redoing The Hidden Fortress which was, itself, the inspiration for the original SW movie, was amusing to say the least.
You get one for every kid you pull out of the child sluice at Splash Mountain
It's a tribal identity signifier, likely awarded to people who have passed the tribe's initiation rituals. It's called a challenge coin because when another member of the tribe challenges you, you must show it or pay a penalty.
Think of it like a class ring.
We need an emoticon of Col. Bat Guano with his M4 shooting a vending machine.
Frank Castle would absolutely demolish all the goons who use his skull logo to defend hierarchy and authority lol
i can't wait to buy this shit at garage sales in like 20 years when these pathetic fucks die and their kids want nothing to do with all their worthless fucking souvenirs and trinkets
:rage-cry: I hate it so much, these fucking pigs are such vapid idiots. This is what black people have to die for
