Awesome didn't exist long enough for very many products to get made. I think there may have been a few action figures, but they were mostly for the old Extreme series, like prior iterations of Youngblood. There will be some that I'll talk about later, once the painter Alex Ross gets involved, but most of that happened after Moore had already left Awesome (and I'll talk about those in an Alex Ross post much later).
For this post, I want to talk about two jewelry items I came across on eBay. The first is a pin with the Supreme logo:
According to the seller (oldtymer63), these were made for the Mega-Con comic convention in Florida by Quantum Design, where he worked. They were limited to 500. He's still got some and said he probably sells three to four sets of two pins a year.
He also said his company produced a ring in honor of Fighting American for Awesome:
The seller says in his listing that Quantum Design sold some at the San Diego Comic-Con in 1998. The silver rings were limited to 75. He watched Joe Simon sign all the certificates at their booth and left with about a dozen rings.
So if anyone is looking for a Fighting American ring or a set of two Supreme pins, please check out Oldtymer63's listings.
