Seems to me that they put color in the anniversary medals or maybe an inaugural medal. I did see some color in the Dumbo Double Dare medals.
As a Star Wars fan, I'm thrilled with the medals. I wish I could do a Kid's Race for the R2-D2 one. The medals fit almost perfectly with the theme of the race.
While not a big stormtrooper fan, I'm fine with how they handled that design. The medal looks good and I like the ribbon looking like their armor.
The Rebel Challenge medal is based on the symbols of the Jedi Order and the Rebel Alliance. The ribbons just feels like it's straight out of Star Wars to me. I love the idea of the Yoda and Darth Vader spinner.
The 1/2 medal could not be more perfect since it's clearly inspired by the Medal of Bravery that Princess Leia gave Luke Skywalker and Han Solo at the end of Star Wars. And since Chewbacca somehow didn't get a medal at the end of the movie, the fact that the ribbon is clearly based off his fur and bandolier is just perfect.
Now I just need to earn them.
