They also make similar Predator key rings, but I have not been able to find other classic Universal monsters.
The accompanying cards say "Universal", but they ship directly from China. Do you think they are really licensed?
They are obviously new, because they have a whole line of them. No noticeable Universal mark on the Jurassic Park key chains and no studio logos on any of the other ones (Star Trek, Transformers, etc.)
I am far more interested in getting a better look at the card art than the key ring. 8)
Looks like they somewhat unsuccessfully copied the belt buckle.

Me, too.
Unfortunately the sellers are using 400 x 400 pictures and do not show the backs. We can see the word "Universal" but no Universal product seal.
Here is a Key Ring Card sans obstructions:

The card has 3 pictures of the monster. One is generic, one is of a 12-inch Sideshow figure, and one is from "Bride of Frankenstein". The name "Frankenstein appears on both sides, as does the brand name "Universal" with globe and copyright symbol - but no date.
The name "Frankenstein" is embossed on the underside of the actual fob. Also the "Universal" brand with globe and copyright symbol - but NO date.
Interesting...
Universal is gonna hate this.

Now you
know they're bootlegs. You don't use somebody else's toys in your card art.
The card looks better than the key ring.
