I see all of these group buys being arranged for custom keycaps. Where are these being made, and can they fulfill small orders for certain individuals for a fair price?

Signature plastics is the usual culprit. They have no minimum quantity, bet they do have a minimum order amount ($100, according to their faq). I donsider this a very fair price, especially for small runs. Many larger plastics houser won't touch you unless you're buying 100,000+ units.
Here's the website:

They are being made in Washington, USA

Also check out WASDKeyboards. They do custom caps as well. SP will give you a little more flexibility in colors, but WASD can do it for cheaper.

If you're doing one key and not a group buy SP is pretty much not an option unless you want to pay $100 for that one key.

I wouldn't mind putting a group buy together, but I'm new to this. I'm thinking about a One Piece styled theme.

I would really like some keycaps similar to that, but maybe in black.
