Can Minifigure Keychains Be Converted Into Regular Minifigures?
If you've found a character you want at Brick This Now but it's listed as a minifigure keychain, you may be wondering: can a minifigure keychain be converted into a regular minifigure?
Yes. Brick This Now minifigure keychains are made using custom minifigures, which means the keychain component can be removed to convert the figure for regular collecting and display.
This gives collectors more flexibility in how they use their Brick This Now figures.
What's the Difference Between a Minifigure and a Minifigure Keychain?
The main difference is the keychain attachment.
A regular custom minifigure is designed primarily for collecting, displaying, brick photography or incorporating into a larger character collection.
A minifigure keychain adds a keychain component so the character can also be carried on keys, bags or other accessories.
At Brick This Now, our minifigure keychains begin as custom minifigures, rather than being completely different products.
Can I Remove the Keychain?
Yes.
The keychain component can be removed if you would prefer to use the character as a regular minifigure.
Once converted, you can add the figure to your existing collection, place it in a display or use it for brick photography and custom scenes.
If you're uncertain about a particular product or how its keychain component is attached, contact Brick This Now before attempting the conversion.
Why Buy the Keychain Version?
Sometimes the character you're looking for may be available as a keychain, and you may prefer the flexibility of deciding how to use it later.
You could keep it as a keychain for everyday use or convert it into a display figure for your collection.
For collectors, the important point is:
Seeing “Keychain” doesn't necessarily mean the character has to remain a keychain forever.
Will the Minifigure Still Be Articulated?
Brick This Now custom minifigures are designed with movable minifigure components, although construction and articulation can vary between individual designs.
Some custom figures may also contain parts that have been secured as part of their construction.
For details about a particular figure, always check the individual product description before purchasing or modifying it.
Can I Display a Converted Keychain With My Other Minifigures?
Yes.
Once converted, the figure can become part of your wider custom minifigure collection.
Collectors can use converted figures for:
- Display collections
- Character lineups
- Custom scenes and builds
- Brick photography
- Collector shelves and display cases
This is particularly useful when you're trying to complete a specific character lineup and the figure you need is currently available as a keychain.
