    Is there a thread that lists the code names of past Stern titles? I know GOTG was "Furry Hats" and TWD was something like "Dinner Time", but I'm curious if there is a list of those...please share if you know any (or know of a thread). Thanks!

    Here you go:

    Furry Hats - Guardians
    Donut - Star Wars (Changed from Cinnabun)
    Toys - Aerosmith
    Shark - Batman66
    Harold - Ghostbusters
    Dudes - WWE
    Politico - Game of Thrones
    Dinner Time - Walking Dead
    Bill - Star Trek
    Biscuit - Mustang
    Grinder - AC/DC

    Quoted from tdiddy:

    I thought Star wars was cinnabun

    Was there one code named Donut?

    Quoted from pin2d:

    After researching, "Donut" was definitely used for Star Wars. It's referenced with parts in the Star Wars manual (i.e. Part No. 510-7704-00 - DONUT PRO RIGHT RAMP RIVETED ASSEMBLY).

    I do remember hearing "Cinnabun" too around that time, but I'm not sure where it was sourced from.

    Guardians code name was Furry Hats.

    Surprised that WWE was not code named "Brother" as mock to Hogan's overuse of it

    At the Stern factory tour this year at Expo, they told us that they changed Star Wars code name from cinnabun to donut because they feared it was too obvious of a connection to Leia.

    My Guardians pro was "Furry Pro"
