Possible Minecraft Blocks Commissions?

COMMISSIONS ARE NOT OPEN, THIS IS ONLY AN IDEA PITCH
So after making my tiny grass block and having plenty of leftover sculpey, I've been thinking about making a lot of little blocks of the different materials in Minecraft.
But how would I sell it? If I sold it just by single blocks, the shipping will definitely cost more than the block itself! Maybe secret grab bags with an assortment of 5 random blocks since they're only 3/4" of an inch big? Like 2 grass blocks, 1 sand block, 1 wood block, and 1 ore block. Super cool blocks like diamond, gold, and cake will be rare meaning you'll only find one per grab bag! So no bags full of diamonds. BUT! You can still custom order a bag full of diamonds or cake with no extra cost.
Keychain loops would be optional but I think I'll only do the metal loop and leave it up to you to attach a string or chain of your choice to it.
For all this, I'd charge $20 + shipping for an assortment of 5 blocks. That's just $4 a block! Extra blocks would be discounted at $3 each.
So, how does it sound? Good deal? Bad idea? Any potential takers?
Currently, I do not have the supplies to make more than a handful of grass and dirt blocks but if there's enough interest with potential buyers, I'll buy the supplies and start making little blocks for y'all!

I guess if you didn't make them like the textures that he used.
Have you ever noticed that people make little figures and even plushies of video game characters, anime characters, cartoon characters, comics, etc, ect and selling them online and in conventions? It's not considered stealing if it's just a very small amount rather than making a factory's worth without the company's permission. There is nothing wrong or illegal about making mini Minecraft blocks and selling them for not very much money. Hell, I've seen creeper plushies and sculptures!
Japan supports such things (Doujinni, I CAN'T SPELL!), on the idea that if they eat up 3rd party stuff, they'll all be fanatical about stuff we release. It's kinda tricky-er IN AMEHRICAH, and Minecraft is based in Switzerland. WHO KNOWS!
I personally think that making a profit off of someone else's idea is not cool. I believe he doesn't really care that much, but keep in mind, that's all I'm asking you to consider.
THEY LOOK ADORABLE!
