Japan March 3, 2003. Each 3000 Yen ($25 us) per pack These small pre-painted models are randomly included in boxes (an individual box will contain several models, but not necessarily the one you want). The boxes also contain a small (5g) sachet of white candy. On release in March 2003, they sold out almost instantly. The Eagle models are 115mm long, the Hawk is 100mm long; both are finely detailed and painted. The Eagle pods are detachable, and even the pod end doors are accurately patterned.
