They changed the display in the front window of Banpresto's headquarters near my house. Ban-Dai actually has many subsidiary companies (as one would imagine). They are all located within walking distance from my house, but unfortunately none have gift shops or are open to the public. Benpresto is the joint company between Ban-Dai and videogame developer NAMCO that does a lot of anime and game music projects with Columbia Music. The character you see in the picture is Gatchapin. He is a popular frog-like spaceship captain who has a slew of merchandise and TV spots in Japan.
