I got one of those keychains and then worked on customizing it so it worked like a real bakugan. I got rid of the keychain part and then modified the spring and the plunger and added a magnet to it. Had a tough time getting it the right length to work. Heres a picture of the b1 size, the mega keychain size and the deka size. After that is a video of it.

Sweet! I've yet to see the keychains yet, but judging from the pics, it looks too big to fit in your pocket??

Sweet, you totally took my idea, I'm glad to see it worked though, I'm so tempted to do Preyas, he's so nice.

heh, yeah i think i did get the idea from you. I dont think it can be done with the preyas or the drago. I attempted to try it with the drago and the magnet/plunger set up is different and i havent been able to get it to work and i think the preyas is set up like the drago.the ripper is a straight up and down plunger with a spring for tension. The drago uses a"swivel" of sorts with one of those springs like used on bakugans to open the parts _/O_ so the motion is different. if i could find a more powerful magnet or possibly mess with it some more.....

Hey ernie im thinking of getting a few fear ripper kerchains now. Could you post a vid on how to replace the plunger? Or how much would it cost to have you do it for me?

Its pretty much trial and error on cutting the plunger to the right length and supergluing the magnet to it. I didnt have my dremel tool so i just heated up a knife and melted thru the plastic then used a razor knife to clean it up.

Wow. So cut off the plunger and super glue a magnet on? Ok. How big should the magnet be? And what did you use for yours?

I used rare earth magnets that were about the same size as actual bakugan magnet
