Wow that was quick, what was the point of making them in the first place?

I imagine these three are not in huge demand compared to the others?

I imagine this is the reason they got cut. The next line is coming in like 1 or 2 weeks, with limited store space, this move is making more room for these upcoming figures. They also believe these figure won't have as long of legs as a Mario or Yoshi.

Ya lets run down the list.

Marth while super popular is a character in a genre that is very niche, a lot of day 1 buys by strong fans of the franchise, long term sales unlikely.
Wii Fit Trainer most likely the lowest sales of all of the models.
Villager now this is the one I question, namely if they do have animal crossing ever planned for the Wii U, I guess you can reintroduce him later, or resupply at later date.
