The world’s tiniest building blocks are the nanoblocks of Kawada Co., Ltd., just 4mm × 4mm. The brand’s lineup includes characters like Hello Kitty (right). The Lego collection also features famous faces (left).

The Licca-chan dolls have been a hit among Japanese girls for nearly half a century since their launch in 1967 (photograph courtesy of Tomy). Meanwhile, Kamen Rider Wizard has remained a favorite hero of boys (photograph courtesy of Bandai).
