The marketing and merchandising for this property is just... wierd.
Makie was number one in the first two reader character polls. They're simply responding to demand.

Personally I want a scary Chizu-nee holding a spring onion, Ayaka with pictures of Negi, Chachamaru in her cute tea ceremony kimono, Takahata from the martial arts tournament (hands in pockets), and a couple of other off-the-wall ones, but I've resigned myself to their being no merchandise for this.

Which is weird, you'd think it would be one of the best merchandise-d properties. Maybe the production companies are afraid that it'll be too hard to come up with five or so figurines that will be profitable.
