CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) registration forms have been filed by Nintendo of America for a number of hard to find amiibo figures. Among those included are the Splatoon 3-Pack, Little Mac, Villager, Ike and Marth. Historically, amiibo figure restocks occur around one or two months after their CPSIA registration.

Hopefully this shows Nintendo’s commitment to making all amiibo figures more easily available to consumers, and will make the amiibo hunt a little less strenuous for collectors.
