🔑 GTA5 Star Pendant Keychain
I’ve always been a fan of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, so stumbling upon this GTA5 Keychain on AliExpress was a no-brainer. I was scrolling through gaming accessories and this popped up as a bestseller — sleek, metallic, and unmistakably GTA-themed.
What attracted me: I wanted a small item to personalize my car keys, and this multi-star design had that bold GTA look without being over-the-top. Plus, at under $3, it felt like a cool little splurge for any GTA enthusiast.
Using it: The build is more solid than I expected. It doesn’t feel like a cheap novelty item. The paint is crisp, and the keyring itself is sturdy — no worries about it falling apart in my pocket. I’ve had it on my car keys for two weeks now and it’s still scratch-free.
Pros:
-
High-quality metal with solid weight
-
Vibrant paint job
-
Great value
Cons:
-
Slight chemical smell when unpacked (faded in a day)
-
Delivery took around 17 days to the US
Price vs. US: Similar items on Etsy or Amazon are usually $8–12, and the quality doesn’t necessarily match this one. This is a steal.
Did it meet expectations? Totally — actually exceeded them.
US $1.19

🎮 Amiibo NFC Game Card Keychain (52-in-1)
I’ve been hunting for an easier way to use Amiibo on my Switch without dragging out all my figurines. This Amiibo NFC Card Keychain was suggested in the reviews and claimed to hold 52 games in one Bluetooth-linked keychain. Too good to be true? Not quite.
What attracted me: Convenience. I mainly use Zelda and Smash Bros. Amiibos, and this seemed like a practical way to carry them all digitally.
Using it: Setup was surprisingly painless. I paired it with my Switch using the instructions provided (they were basic, but worked). I scanned a few cards — and boom, it worked. Scanning is fast and it hasn’t glitched once so far.
Pros:
-
Works seamlessly with the Switch
-
Super portable
-
Includes rare characters
Cons:
-
Instructions could be clearer
-
You’ll need to recharge it every 3–4 days with regular use
Price vs. US: This costs less than one Amiibo figure. Enough said.
Did it meet expectations? Honestly? Blew them out of the water.
US $3.52

🎮 Harajuku Crystal Console Keychain
I couldn’t resist this Rainbow Console Bone Keychain with its sparkly Y2K vibe. I wanted something playful to clip on my backpack, and this one just screamed early-2000s nostalgia.

Using it: This is more of a fashion statement than a utility keychain. The charm feels lightweight but not flimsy. I’ve been using it as a bag charm for two weeks and got several compliments.
Pros:

Super cute design

Doesn’t chip easily
-
Perfect for aesthetic lovers
Cons:
-
Just decorative, not functional

What attracted me: The multiple weapon designs. It’s more like a mini display than a simple keyring.
Using it: I’ve kept this on my desk as a mini decor piece. The details are sharp, and the small chains connecting each weapon feel sturdy. One friend thought it was official merch.

Beautiful detailing

All metal, no plastic

Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m genuinely surprised at the quality and design of everything I ordered from AliExpress this time. Shipping ranged from 12 to 21 days (average ~16 days to the US East Coast), and all products arrived in good shape. The gaming keychains and accessories not only met expectations — they often beat similar US-sold items in quality and definitely in price. Would I recommend these? Absolutely. And yes, I already have more stuff in my cart.
