Could Nintendo's NFP create a new way for fans to send them a message?

This is actually a good idea, assuming that a wide variety of these figurines are actually made. Assuming we get figurines for series we want, it's probably more effective than petitions saying "make AAA game in niche series" would be. The main downside would likely be if the figurines themselves suck or are of limited use. Still, for $5, or $10 for a higher quality piece of merchandise, it would not be a bad deal even if the plan fails.
