It has been a few days since the end of Tokyo Game Show 2013 and while there wasn't much shown at the event itself, there is still plenty of things to look forward to in the coming months. Back in August, product manager Hidemi Matsuzuka granted the internet a sneak peek at some new merchandise that was currently in development at Square Enix which included some very adorable Kingdom Hearts enemy figurines.
Today, their true nature has finally been revealed as a set of character straps that can be used on your mobile device or keychain. These character straps are modeled after everybody's favorite enemies from the Kingdom Hearts series; the Shadow Heartless, Flood Unversed, Meow Wow Dream Eater, and Meowjesty Dream Eater!
Currently the price and release date remains unknown, but we will provide more information on this new product when it becomes available.
Update (10/27/13): Square Enix product manager Hidemi Matsuzuka has posted images of the individual straps on Facebook. Check them out below:

Really interested in that Shadow Keychain. Recently my keychain broke, and I think it would be a fitting replacement. Hopefully their release isn't too far away!
Will buy them all. They are absolutely adorable ;A;
You know...when they get these bad boys to be a legit product and stuff...
Oh gosh I want them all too! If I had to pick one, it would probably be the Meowjesty one. Because I plan on getting plushies of all the others as they keep coming out, but who knows if there will be any more Meowjesty products :P
I want them all... no, I NEED them all! Alas, they might not ship to where I live...
Give me a link to where I can buy these. I want all the enemy keychains. ALL OF THEM.
Pretty much what EVERYONE ELSE said: all of them! So adorable!
I've never really had KH merchandise, but I'll spend the extra for these~ :D
I seriously thought those were pocketknives at first. Turns out it's just the actual strap.
I want them all ;A;
That's what I thought too. Kinda wish they were, but straps are nice.
Oh my...oh my indeed. Well, I'll be getting them all without a doubt, that's for sure. A part of me still wishes they were figures since then they'd go amazing right next to the Play Arts figures (since they are pretty nicely scaled to stand next to them) but keychains are more practical and would definitely appeal to more than just the more hardcore audiences so that makes sense. A part of me now wants 2 sets to take the keychain part off of one and make them figures but that isn't worth it haha xD I'll be fine with 1 set :) Now to only fear the price (the mascot avatar straps were not cheap and they aren't nearly as nice as these are!)
I want the nobody one~ ouo
I'm not sure which one to buy if I was asked which one to pick. They're all great. ;A;
If I had to pick only 1, it would be the Shadow. So cute! X3
I want all of these. ;~; I hope the price is reasonable so I can import them guilt-free.

If need be, we could set up a co-op like thing where we all contribute and have all the ones we want bought (which would mean multiple sets) to one person and then they could ship them out from the US so that we are only importing one huge package from Japan rather than 10 or 15 smaller ones?
These are cute. I have no idea how I would attach it to my cell phone, but I would sure sport one of these guys on my keychain. I'll probably go for the Flood, cuz BBS MERCH. 8D

I want the nobody one so bad. ;A;
Oh sizzles. It only makes me want them even more. I presume the release date is as of yet still unknown?
Give me Meowjesty plz xD Kingda-nyan <3333

Yes, it is currently unknown.
I want the shadow one. In fact, I want all of them. Too bad I'm a broke college student.

Same here. Broke college students UNITE! If we can afford to xD
I'd go for the Meowjesty. <3 I hardly use a phone, but if it can be for a movie device like say, an Ipodtouch? I'd totally buy one!
Does the KH merchandise ever make it to other countries outside of Japan?

They are compatible with any iOS device.

Um...depends. We got Meow Wow and the Shadow plushies. When this product actually has a listing, there will be import sites that'll carry it.
Oh, so it's called Onda-nyan. :D
They all look really well done. Still especially digging the Flood and Shadow~ I would probably get one just for fun, even if I didn't attach it to my phone. It would sit out somewhere, looking all cute.

Those are earphone port plugs, right? If they are, I'm sure they can be used for any 35mm jack ports.
Oh, so it's called Onda-nyan. :D
There's a hard-to-see W before the O. After all it's the Japanese pronunciation of Wonder Nyan.
That name's so cute. >.<

Oooh, I thought it still kindof sounded like Wonder Nyan, which is what I was used to calling it. Time to put these tired eyes to bed. xD
The Shadow and Nobody ones look beautiful, I hope they get out of Japan.
They're so cute~ I want them all, especially the Meow Wow one. I bet they're super expensive though...

I hope they do, too, but there's this part of me thinking that there's always a chance that they will be exclusive to Japan.
Hopefully it's not the case, but if it really is, hopefully someone would be kind enough to have them shipped over. XD
MUST.HAVE.NOW!!
They are soooo cute! Especially the unversed and nobody XD

It depends on the item. The Play Arts nearly always make it stateside and so do a lot of the other thing like the Static Arts, keychains, and Trading Arts.
However, many things also do not come over, ESPECIALLY the items that aren't directed at collector's (like the pencil cases, clothes, towels, etc. that are catered to more casual fans). Also, anything that comes in random selection boxes (like the new keychains that just came out and the Formation Arts) generally don't make it to the US.
I think these have a good shot of coming over here but even if they don't, it isn't like it'll be hard to find them online :P
Hopefully it's not the case, but if it really is, hopefully someone would be kind enough to have them shipped over. XD
Even if nobody does, there are stores online everywhere that will carry them :) I'm sure if you bought a few (for friends or people on KHi getting together to get a bunch) the shipping would be significantly lower.
I'm definitely getting 1 of all of them immediately so I'll have to import them anyways :P
Meowwow iS MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :3
I need a new one for my phone. :3
