This guy in Australia has for sale a 'Phantom magnet of UY'. I am not sure which magnets of UY are out there legitimately. I tried to search on the site without success. So, I don't know if this is legit, but, I thought I'd point it out if it wasn't a 'real' Usagi magnet though he credits Stan for it.

The artwork was done by Stan for a Phantom trading card set released by Intrepid (in Australia) back in 1996. I think the seller actually makes the magnets himself out of the trading cards, but I do not know for sure. I don't have one of the magnets.
Dark Horse released a cool magnetic bookmark a few years ago (2005).
I do not know about any other magnets, but I do believe that there were some made quite a while back.

Yeah I'm pretty sure he's just made the magnet out of the trading card.

Dear Readers,
Here is his email response:
"Dear gosm,
Yes it is- I make them.
Cheers!

At least he is honest about what he is doing.
Best wishes to all!

There were two Usagi magnets--one made by Mirage as a promotional giveaway, and by Graphitti as a part of the Trilogy Tour set.

I recently picked up the Trilogy Tour set at my local comic shop, That's Entertainment. I'd been eyeing it for awhile but didn't want to spend $20 essentially for the one magnet in the set I wanted; I am still a little puzzled that Jeff Smith's magnet is of Thorn rather than any of the Bone cousins.
But recently they had a sale and had slashed the price to move it. When I brought my stuff to the register the clerk, Chad, laughed and said, "I knew you'd be the one to buy that."
