Keychains from 1999 & 2000
The average size of the keychain figures actually got a little smaller halfway through 1999, and that trend has continued on into the year 2000.
1. Tokusatsu Heroes - Banpresto, 1999 - The full set contained 8 keychains. Here, you'll see Ultraman, Ultraman Zoffy, Bijinder, Kikaider & Hakaider.
2. Brain Powered - Banpresto, 1999 - This the the complete set of 6.
3. Macross - Banpresto, 1999 - Complete set of 7 shown.
4. Mario Party - Banpresto, 1999 - Complete set of 7 shown. Unlike the usual solid PVC figures, these are hollow, and made of soft vinyl. The set includes Mario, Luigi, the Princess, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario and Bowser.
5. Tokusatsu Heroes - Banpresto, 1999 - This set likely represents characters from a particular creator/production company, but I'm not sure who that is. The shows represented are Denjin Zaboga, Lion Maru, Magma Taishi (known as Space Giants in the US), and Spectreman. This is one of my favorite sets.
6. St. Seiya Collection 1 - Banpresto, 1999 - Complete set of 5 shown.
