Quick Verdict
Pokémon Store ETERNAL ANTIQUE METAL metal keyrings: ₩24,000 each, 9 types total, and I bought 5 — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, and Flareon. The honest reason: I needed to clear the ₩100,000 monthly purchase threshold for the October badge promo, and five keyrings got me to ₩120,000. What I didn’t expect was how good the packaging would be. The gold-foil backing cards are display-worthy on their own — peel off the plastic cover and the whole thing works as a display piece. The keyrings are heavier than expected, with Monster Ball symbols top and bottom. One caveat: only the background behind each Pokémon is colored; the Pokémon itself stays raw brass, so they’re hard to tell apart from a distance.
Why Only 5 of 9?
The October badge promo (a monthly gift for purchases over ₩100,000) was the target, not the full set. Five keyrings at ₩24,000 each came to ₩120,000 — threshold cleared. All nine would have been ₩216,000, and that was beyond the budget for a promo-driven purchase. The remaining four — Vaporeon, Jolteon, Leafeon, Glaceon — are unowned, so I can’t speak to them beyond the official lineup. Stopping at five was the right call.
What Is the ETERNAL ANTIQUE METAL Line?
It’s the premium line from Pokémon Korea’s “antique shop” pop-up at HiKR Ground (running since September 18) — an antique concept built on leather and metal detailing. The metal keyrings are the Eeveelution set of nine, also sold through the online store. The whole line leans into the antique aesthetic: brown and gold backing cards, ornate crest frames, English name ribbons (EEVEE, BLAEKY, NYMPHIA, BOOSTER, EVEE). It reads as a deliberate premium tier above the usual acrylic or rubber keyrings.
Is the Packaging Really That Good?
Yes, unexpectedly. For a metal keyring, the overall packaging is clean: the front of the backing card has a shiny gold-foil treatment with radiating lines and ornate borders, and the back carries a clean line drawing of that keyring’s Pokémon plus the barcode and the ©Pokémon / ©Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK inc. notice. Remove just the plastic cover and you can display or store the keyring together with its card — it genuinely looks intentional, not like leftover packaging
What About the Keyring Itself?
Heavier than expected — these have real heft. The design is a shield-shaped crest frame with an English name ribbon (EEVEE, BLAEKY, NYMPHIA, BOOSTER, EVEE). Monster Ball accents sit on the lobster clasp as a charm and on the bottom ribbon tag as a button, and each ribbon’s color matches its Pokémon’s background — orange for Eevee, pink for Sylveon, black for Umbreon, red for Flareon, purple for Espeon. The catch: only the background behind the Pokémon is painted. The Pokémon figure itself keeps its raw brass-metal tone, so from a distance the five look more similar than you’d hope. Up close, the sculpt detail is good. The back of the card lists the product name, metal material, April 2026 manufacture date, China as country of origin, and ages 14+. And as everyone already knows — Made in China.
Buy More or Stop Here?
The Eeveelution set of nine leaves some completionist itch, but at ₩24,000 each the full set is ₩216,000 — a different purchase from the promo-driven one I made. The badge promo made the math easy; without it, I’d have bought fewer, not more. Of the five, Umbreon and Sylveon satisfy the most; their black and pink backgrounds photograph beautifully against the brass. If you’re buying for the badge threshold like I was, five is a sensible stop. If you’re an Eevee-family completist, you already know you’re buying all nine.
