LEGO Gear / Key Chains / Orient Expedition

LEGO's Orient Expedition theme, introduced in 2003 as a subtheme of the Adventurers series, follows the exploits of characters like Johnny Thunder, Dr. Kilroy, and Pippin Reed as they journey through Asia in search of Marco Polo's Golden Dragon and other treasures, all while competing against the nefarious Lord Sam Sinister. Complementing the main sets, LEGO released several key chains featuring characters from the Orient Expedition theme. Notable examples include the Johnny Thunder Key Chain (set 850252), which presents the Mount Everest variation of Johnny Thunder affixed to a metal ring and chain, and the Sherpa Sangye Dorje Key Chain (set KC38), depicting the Sherpa guide from the Himalayas. These key chains feature non-detachable minifigures, with movable parts secured by glue, and often include a LEGO logo printed on a white 2x2 tile.
