At first sight, they resemble the balls from the Gacha Gacha machines that we bought at the MT Expo. When I looked closer, I realized that they were mini Fujifilm Instax camera keychains! They were just like miniature versions of the Fujifilm Instax Mini-8 instant film cameras! *freaking out*
Ever since Hubby bought me a Fujifilm Instax Mini-25 several years ago, I have been slowly building my collection of Instax instant film cameras. I just never knew that they come so small!
Seriously, how cute is this? It measures only about 1.25" x 1.25". My Instax Mini-25 looks huge next to it!
If you are or will be in the Vancouver B.C. area, you can find these at the Instax booth in the Richmond Night Market. I was so giddy with excitement when I found these that I did not take note of the name of the booth but you cannot miss it. "Instax" is on their banner and they only sell Instax-related stuff.
These keychains were $8 for a pair but I had to have one of each color available. Who cares that they are not real working cameras? They are too stinkin' cute! When the Instax Mini-8 were first released, I had a hard time picking out the one color that I had allowed myself to buy. With these keychains I can finally pretend that I have them all.

And they look just as pretty as I imagined that they will be. ♥
Were your kids wondering why you were so hyper excited? LOL! You have a beautiful collection! Thanks for sharing this post. I had no idea these cameras existed. I'll be sure to check out that booth. Each time I'm in Seattle, I MUST visit Uwajimaya and the Kinokuniya bookstore to inspect every aisle till hubby can't take it anymore.
ReplyDeleteSo Jin, which Instax would you recommend for a first time buyer?
