I've decided to abandon the "keychain" thread as I'm getting a little broader with my creations, and taking a somewhat more refined, professional stab at it.
I've recently learned to create molds of my original designs, and now have the ability to cast coloured resin casts in a fraction of the time. This process is allowing me to make a much more accurate duplicate of my original sculptures (practically identical, in fact), so the results are much cleaner, more detailed and easier to work with. They're also far more durable as they're now made of hard cast polyester plastic resin. I've also switched to an enamel clear coat as opposed to an acrylic base, making these things rock-solid... you could probably drive over this with your car
Here are the results
The dimensions are approximately 1.75" x 1.75" x 1.75"
I've already got 4 more ready for painting. Now the question is... what's a reasonable amount to charge for these? I have a few ideas for mounting on the playfield, I'll be experimenting with Menace (or rather, Menace's TZ) this weekend. I was thinking a large velcro "dot" on the bottom, which makes it easy to remove for cleaning. Of course, you can use it for pretty much anything at this point.. a decoration for your desk? An ornament for your Christmas tree? Fridge magnet? A plunger knob? (I'll be experimenting with that one myself, later -- try not to read into that one too much). Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts..
Oh, and because Vengeance was kind enough to buy one of my prototypes, I'll be sending him one of these for free.
As always, suggestions are welcome! As are new ideas for playfield toys!

Thanks Brock much appriciated! But I didn't think I was being kind, you makde a good product and I bought it, we both got what we wanted But hell I'm not going to turn down another one
Ya, man! These ones are muuuuch better anyway.. it wouldn't feel right selling them without giving you a copy of the better version. Enjoy
soooo I'm hearing $20 USD on an unlimited-run basis.. which isn't too bad. I wonder though if it'd be worth limiting the run to 50, or 100 and numbering them.. hmmm
