I'm not sure if this would be hard to make, but in the merchandise section of the site, we should be able to get our characters made into key-rings, maybe holding tools of our choice (pickaxe, sword) with material of our choice (diamond, iron).
EDIT: In case you didn't read it all, you use your custom skin.
We upload our skin we use to it, it takes it, builds the parts, paints/sprays them with each required part of the skin, assembles them, adds a keyring attachment to the top of the head. Im not sure if Hats would work (eg Headsets, headphones that you add to your character, maybe somehow make them snap on and make it a little bit more priced for them?) then package them and ship them to you.
I guess this could work... But i'm not sure.
EDIT: I hope this isn't too complex. Basically, it takes our avatar and paints it onto parts, that it then assembles into a character keyring of your minecrafter. I think we should be able to upload it instead of taking it straight from minecraft.net though to have a less likeliness of making mistakes.
I actually think maybe not because of it's uniqueness. Each one would have to be individually made so therefore will cause lots of problems.
all the skin pictures are exactly the same, could just be 1 similar model painted on. easily machine processed.
all it is is minecraft man.. is a giant block. T <-- look, he has no head.
I mean like your custom skin. Or are you talking about the model? If you are talking about the model, it would be easy. Printing would be slightly harder. The hat (accessory) that you can have on custom skins would be slightly harder, as individual models would need to be made. Thats why I think that you would have to pay extra for that. 50c to $1.00 maybe?
I would never buy one, I have enough gaming merch to be ashamed of lol. But I support the idea. With automated painting systems even custom skins would be fairly easy to do, if they had the software for it. I'd say (In USD because I'm an American, from America!):
Initial Price (Choose from default unarmored or any of the vanilla armor sets): $14.99
Custom Skin: +$1.99, must upload an edited skin (.png file, 64x32, anything inappropriate will be rejected and you will be refunded)
Accessories
Additional Tools (Iron, Can be Pick, Axe, Shovel, Hoe, or Sword): +$0.99 each
Additional Tools (Diamond, Same as above): +$1.49 each
Edit: Scratch the rest of this, I was thinking toy figures, not just a keyring.

What i'm saying is that if it's a simple, no custom thing (I.E Steve, diamond, pig) then no problem, maybe 1-2 dollars. However if you wanted a custom skin on it, it'd be annoying to figure out the parameters and such.

but that's no reason to not at least have a Steve keyring.

Custom ones? Would either be too hard to make or have to be expensive due to being custom-made on request.
