Here is part of the story from Ganely.com/things,click here for the full story and a picture of the keychain!
Some time later, McDonald's catches the fad with tamagotchi-themed Happy Meal toys. Curiously, though, while they look like actual tamagotchi, the familiar egg-shaped case is simply a container for a variety of strange little figurines like this one. Somehow, I found this particular figurine enormously appealing, and put it on my keychain. However, somewhere in my memories there is a discontinuity during which it disappeared. I don't remember losing or discarding it; at one time it was on my keychain, and when I next thought about it, it was gone, with no memory of it in between.
Luckily, when I got wistful for it some years later, 
like the boy in the commercial with the lost toy boat, I was able to pick one up on eBay for just a few dollars. I still can't explain why I find this odd little creature so wonderful, but it is certainly good to have him back.
