I like east-meets-west merchandising crossovers, and I know Japan loves Kewpies, but...Iron Man: The Kewpie Doll?
I've always thought Kewpie dolls were really creepy in general (and I usually have a high tolerance for stupidly cute stuff), but apparently as an early promotion for Iron Man 2, Rose O'Neill-- the company behind Kewpie dolls (named after their original creator) --has created a tiny Iron Man Kewpie doll.

























I don't understand why these things are considered cute. I think they're horrid and terrifying.

Not directly, I just enjoy using the expression, though its probably more frontally located on my brain due to that episode.
Japan has done worse over the years
