Pros: It's Mario characters on a keyring. It is very inexpensive. It has free shipping. It looks cool, and is a nice conversation piece.
Cons: I ordered two packs, total of 4, gave two away, and after two months my Goomba's wing broke off in my pocket. I pulled off his other wing, so he didn't look that bad, but there were other issues. As stated in other posts, the chain that holds the keyring into the character doesn't do a good job staying in place, so my little Goomba kept falling off the keyring and trying to escape. After about 6 months, and almost losing it about a dozen times, I decided his life as a keychain was over, especially since the hole the keychain screwed into had become inoperable. I still have him, but now he sits peacefully on my desk. Still cute, so long as you look at him from the front. My Fire Mario was lost because of a chain malfunction as well. Also, the paint begins to peel off after awhile.
Bottomline: Nice as an accessory, but don't get this for everyday use as it is not designed to withstand the rigors of a daily driver. A must for any Mario enthusiast though, the design is almost spot-on. Overall 4 out of 5.
Great Gift

Pros: It look like Mario charactes.
The keychain ring have great build quality.
Here in Brazil everyone asks me where I bought.
It is the perfect size to a keychain.
Cons: Can't choose each figure receive.
After 6 months of "hardcore" use, the paint is worn, but I think it's ok for the price.
Other Thoughts: I bought 3 pairs and didn't received any Mario, but I'm satisfied material quality. Everybody who see it and know Mario or have kids want to have one.
Bottomline: If you want a cheap gift for Mario fans, buy it. You can remove the keychain easily if you want to use to decorate the desk, but I think it's best as a keychain.
Worth the price

Pros: - It's Mario, can't go wrong.
- Great gift.
- Everyone who sees it loves it.
- I'm using it for a long time, the chain is of good quality, mine did not break.
Cons: - Paint job is not great, but is not bad at all.
- Price is not very cheap, but still cheap enough so that is worth buying.
Other Thoughts: I got a white mario and a large luigi, think I was lucky.
Bottomline: Well 100% worth the price, I think I'll buy a few more. As said before, it is a very nice gift, and Mario for that price, you got nothing to lose.
Nice for Mario Fans

Pros: Nice Mario figures. They are cheap, useful and they are a nice gift for you to give. They are also resistant (except for the wings of that brown character, that are beeing ripped off with time - which could be a little my fault)
Cons: The build quality could be a bit better... Colours could be better and the painting is not perfect.
Other Thoughts: It's a pitty you can't choose which ones you want,
Bottomline: It's a bit big for keychain. Nothing really, really big, but if these toys were smaller they would seem a lot better.
