-<gloss>Shokugan (食玩), is a trademark of Bandai. Shokugan are small, low priced, high quality, limited release collectibles that originated 30 years ago and became popular in Japan and elsewhere. "Shokugan" is onomatopoeic from the two sounds "shoku" meaning food, and "gan" meaning toy. Some examples of different types of "Shokugan” products are charms/keychains, mini figures, articulated figures, and model kits. Shokugan is typically seen on candy shelves in Japanese supermarkets, but can now be found worldwide providing a small piece of Japan to fans around the world. In many countries and territories, including the United States and parts of Asia, "Shokugan" and/or its derivatives are a registered trademark of Bandai.</gloss>

Looks like most if not all of this text is from Bandai's English website. I wonder if this submission came from a lawyer?

Japan is notably not included among those countries. This is a dictionary entry for defining the word 食玩 as it is used in Japanese. The proposed edit would be more appropriate for an English-language encyclopedia.

The toy itself is free.
景品 x-ref doesn't seem necessary.
