Cubees

Here's a good thing which is kind of related to Japan, ish. CubeeCraft host a veritable army of cultural icons and characters in the form of downloadable cut-and-fold models. The army gets updated frequently, and the figures look really easy to put together. I got a bit excited and downloaded about 20 of them. Have a look because they'll almost certainly have some sort of figure from your childhood there.

Sample pictures:





Seriously, they've got loads.
