We all know that Iron Man is the epitome of all hyper-masculine geek fantasies, but what if the character was given the cutesy, sometimes effete treatment tacked on to most Japanese anime characters? The result of such a alternate universe Iron Man actually exists courtesy of the folks at Asunarosya (see above photo). We're surprised they didn't dub this guy Iron-Chan ("chan" is usually attached to people or characters to make them seem cuter).

In fact, Marvel also allowed the company to give Wolverine, Spiderman, The Thing and The Hulk the "cute Japan" treatment with surprisingly adorable results. You can pick up your own cuddly version of Iron Man for just 3,990 yen ($40) here.
