Well, I did every search that I could think of with no results before posting this. So if these have shown up here before, don't flame me, just close the thread. That said, check these out:

I especially like the inclusion of the remains of Nurhachi, and the FAQ's at the bottom of the page are pretty funny.

My friend got the lil Henry Jones Sr. for his Birthday. The detail is great for how extraordinarily tiny they are.

How big are these? I see there is a coin by them. Is that a quarter?

I like how other companies are successful in selling stuff, but Hasbro can't.

It is a quarter, so they look very tiny. The length of the ark looks like less than the size of two quarters, so only a couple of inches.

I have some of them. Yeah, they're awfully tiny and some are unimpressive, but others are pretty neat. The problem is that it's all by chance and you probably won't get what you want! But if you want to order, go right ahead.

I ordered 8 capsules from ThinkGeek.com after Ed Dolista told me about them on the Indy-Cast Holiday podcast -- they were only 1.99 each and I got 7 out of 8 -- no voodoo doll, but a double skull. They are selected at random -- so I was lucky to get so many without a lot of doubles. They came in about 2 days.

They are the perfect size for accessories for the 12" Indiana Jone s- Sideshow or even Hasbro.

Great idea, MFisher! As long as the mods don't care, and I don't see why they would.

How's the key-chain quality? I saw these a while ago and I wanted to get them, but the picture I saw made the artifacts look pretty shoddy.

The quality is pretty good.I'd say,Same as the Hasbro relics.Maybe I tad bit better.

The three I managed to snag a while back are the Head Piece,Sankara Stone and the Grail.

Those are pretty neat! I like them more than the Mighty Muggz because they are smaller. I'm really losing my flame for larger collectibles and toys (i.e. the Marvel Legends line - it's great, but they are just to big and cumbersome to keep buying and displaying).

The keychains artifacts are pretty cool too!

They are cool - but they aren't keychains. They're cell phone straps. Of course nothing is stopping you from using them as keychains :D
