Legends of Chima Scolder Key Chain

The Scolder Key Chain, released as set 851018-1, arrived in 2013 as part of the promotional merchandise supporting the launch of Lego Legends of Chima. This theme was designed as a high-concept multimedia project, featuring a television series and a broad line of building sets centered on a fantasy world inhabited by animal tribes fighting over a life-giving resource known as Chi. The keychain features a standard minifigure of Scolder, a prominent villain from the Scorpion tribe, permanently attached to a durable metal ring and chain.

The design of the minifigure reflects the aesthetic goals of the Chima line, which leaned heavily into detailed, molded plastic pieces that captured the distinct biological traits of the various animal factions. By attaching these characters to keychains, Lego aimed to extend the playability of the brand beyond the construction sets, allowing younger fans to carry the characters as recognizable accessories. The item was well-received by collectors who focused on character variants and theme-specific memorabilia, serving as a functional piece of character-based merchandise during the height of the franchise's popularity.
