Now I know they're out there and please let me know if I'm stepping on any KLOVer's toes with this:

We're having a birthday party for my oldest son who is crazy into Power Rangers and one of the goodie bag items will be Power Ranger keychains that we are personalizing for each child- "for their Zords". The size my wife wants (approx. 2 x 2.5 in.) can only be found in lots of 50, so we'll have about 40 left over. I'd be happy to run a bunch of requests for arcade keychains if there is interest. We'll be printing them on photo paper and then assembling them. PM me if interested and I will probably be able to do them for $2.00 a keychain plus actual shipping.

Interesting idea and it would be nice to see some that were not already done back in the day.

Not to step on your toes... if anyone is interested in real arcade keychains, I still have some originals left (I sold/traded a lot of these several years ago), including Centipede, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Kick-Man and another (if I have any of those left). These are NOS from back in the early 80's.

I can provide pics if anyone is interested. I am also open to trades.

Are we talking cabinet keychains or the flyer keychains?? pics? im interested either way

I can do whatever you'd like- flyers or cabinet pics or whatever. Some of the flyers are lame (like Defender), so I'll email you each for approval. PM me with the games that you'd need and I'll get back to you. :)

Here's what type of keychain it will be...

Based on the pics, we are talking about two totally separate types of keychains. However, I think both are cool and would be nice to have. The following pic shows what I have (the Missile Command are all gone and I need to verify which of the rest I still have). Plus, that pic is terrible, so the colors are much nice that the pics shows.

These are all NOS from the early 80's. A buddy of mine found these in a thrift store about 10 years ago and bought the whole lot!

Hmmm... that full sized image isn't showing-up, so here is another, smaller copy of it.

Thanks everyone for all of the PM's!! The original 40 extra keychains are gone, but I've had requests since then for more. I'd like to accommodate anyone in the community who is interested, so feel free to PM me if you are interested. Please see the quote above for specs as there are 3 different keychain being talked about in this thread! I will post finished pics as soon as I put a few together.

In the meantime, here is the keychain blank we're using:

Here's a pic of some finished keychains- they turned out really nice! As stated above- I'd be happy to continue to provide these at $2.00 each plus shipping. They are acrylic keychains, 2 x 2.5 inches in size.

I don't know if I'll ever make more of these or not.. They were fun to make but they were expensive and time consuming. I had to first design the keychain, then had to pay for them to be cut out on a laser and after that I had to make jigs and artwork to laser the designs on both sides and finally packaging :) In the end a lot of work for the 12 bucks or whatever I charged for them!

If there's enough interest I'd consider doing one last run of Donkey Kong series games and Burgertime.
