One really neat thing that Japan has that we don't, are capsule or trading arts figures based off of anime and video games. We have things of this sort (Homies, etc), but not based off of franchises. It's actually quite rare for any of these toys to get released over here, and when they are, they're way more expensive. Some websites will offer them for sale, but some of them actually offer whole sets, which is nice. Reason being, they're all blind purchases. You buy a figure, and the packaging won't show which figure it is; it's random, and if you've got 5 of a 6-figure set, you might just have to make a few more purchases to get 'em all. So, I just happened to be looking for the Disgaea "gashapon" figures, and found a handful of types that ya'll might dig. Shin Megami series 1, 2, 3, & 4. Marvel Heroes 3Batman 1Batman DC UniverseDisgaea series 2Cute little FFVII: Advent Children chibi keychainsThere's a lot more there, too. Lots of DragonBall, Naruto, One Piece[/url], Dead or Alive, some very cool Devil May Cry ones, and some really weird stuff that I'll leave you to discover, cuz... it's pretty fuckin' weird.

WTF does "chibi" mean, anyway? Is that Japanese for "Physical symptoms of Downs syndrome"?

Oh, that's just Jakks being retards. I mean, have you seen an actual photo of that Dean Malenko figure? His head is GIGANTIC!
...
OH! OH! You meant super-deformed characters.
Not a clue. Prolly a "cute factor" thing, but... I don't really think SD WWE peoples would be 'cute'.

I was looking at the pictures, and saw the size of Malenko's figure's head. I also thought Hogan's Mellon was pretty huge, but that could just be the modelers trying to be accurately capture Hogan's true ego in his figure.

You should see the Gymini figures. Their heads are fuggin' huge-tastic. It's frightening.

Those assholes look like cranked up clones of Charlie Brown as it is, their action figures don't need any extra help!

I love that thing! The Wand and Quinton Jackson ones rock, too, but those fucking things cost a small fortune!

Shit. I missed out on Mil Mascaras and Dos Caras masks I wanted to pick up from Highspots. I think they put them up last weekend, and all of the fucking things are GONE! There are still El Canek and Dr. Wagner masks there, but sheeeit, the others went FAST! Mistico is still there, though.... ;D
