It does seem likely he could be a promotional keyring figure. Searching on eBay.de for "schlüsselanhanger" or "werbefigur" brought up many klickies I hadn't seen before, mostly well-known ones with additional printing, but not this one. I also tried using Google Images to find a match to the design on the klicky's chest, but no luck there either.

The mystery will be solved one day!

I tried finding the logo too, but with no success. IF that is even a logo. It's just.. it even doesn't look completely unknown to me... GAH. This is driving me nuts!
(since we don't do keychains, I don't look twice at them if the klickys are known - but I do notice when I don't know them... and try to get them. But I dechain them)

Also still to solve: Ruby's hair in black and Alex's in blonde... (besides those half transparent ones, but those are probably from the cleaning)

That was a while ago! I just assumed they were prototypes or mistakes, never used on a real klicky. Perhaps there were klickies planned, then withdrawn. Like the Starbucks ones?

This one is still bugging me. I got Max Pfannholzer's 2023 Katalog of promo figures a few months ago. It covers 600 figures (review to follow shortly...) but this one definitely isn't in it. There are a few figures (12) without illustrations, so it could be one of those I guess, but only one has no description, a 2018 figure from Malta's Puttinu Cares. All the other Puttinu Cares figures have "Puttinu Cares" and the year issued printed on the back, so I don't think that is it.

Ditto. The darn logo does look familiar, but I can't place it.

It could also be a klicky from some set, but I think between us, SOMEONE would remember him?

I did get another with a keychain - with indian hair and a red headband (I think).. But no idea if that was the original one..
