Hot Toys are the absolute best. I actually have / am about to have exactly those two!... I got the Mech Test Tony Stark figure about a year ago, and I have the Cap figure ordered, should get it by the end of this month (I prefer the WWII version of the uniform). I also got the Thor and Odin figures and they're both excellent (for example, Mjolnir is actually metal). Oh... And I placed an order for Loki too (otherwise how could I reenact their disfunctional family meetings) so I suspect that I may yet end up with a shelf full of Avengers, and I'm already tempted to get the next Iron Man armor variation.

Those movie cell phone straps are absolutely darling! I don't collect much, I get some action figures now and then, and I love the more cute versions like cosbabies and bobbleheads. The closest I ever got to serious collecting was gathering all the variations of the Padme Amidala figures from Star Wars - with all the costume changes, there were like fifteen of them in the smaller action figure scale, plus three on 1/6 scale.

Iron Man is big in Japan? I had no idea, but given that mecha has always been a big genre in anime/manga, that makes a lot of sense.
