Demand for Japanese whisky has gone up ever since a number of them won awards in a number of international competitions. They went from being a bit of an early internet meme (thanks to the “Suntory time” scene in Lost in Translation - though that also helped propel interest in it), to something highly desired.
The clue seems to lie in the fact that he had several bodies ready to be assembled in his house. So it seems that he was selling these figures to actually make money, which is something that’s frowned upon there.

All 40 or so of them rolled out of the pit area for the pace laps before the race, loud but manageable to listen to with naked ears. They made a few laps before the green flag flew, when they came past the grandstands with the most loud, horrendous shriek I’d ever heard. Everything shook. I could feel the sound of…
They likely killed them because they saw the writing on the wall and that the market was headed another way.
