You know, I do actually own one of those Bandai badge-making devices. I haven't yet used it to make any custom Foster's badges, though perhaps I should give it a go some time.

Ooooo, you must tell me more about this device. ;D

Here's a picture of one, though it's from the UK site. I don't know how widely available these are overseas, though odds are you'd be able to find something similar somewhere.

It's actually marketted as a children's toy, though I'm sure that the grown-up appeal is just as strong. The price on the official site is fairly expensive, but I was fabulously lucky when it came to the purchase of mine - I got a complete set (used, but all the bits and pieces were still there) for three pounds at a car boot sale. You basically cut out the picture you want for your badge yourself, and then the machine compacts everything into place, so they're probably not as good quality as the digitally printed ones you bought on ebay there, but I still think that the results are pretty nice. :)

Looks intriguing. Doesn't say how large the finished badges are, though.

In the Super Badge It edition, there are three sizes - 3cm and 4cm circular, and 3cm x 4cm rectangular.

4cm is about 2mm larger than the ones I bought. Might not be a bad investment. :bloogrin:

Late last year Walgreens had some blank snap-together badges available that were about twice that diameter. I picked up two of them but never did anything with either until last night; one of them now has a pic of Mr. No-no inside. 8D

Nice find.
