Good points to you both, though what I mean is that the Edward shown in the back photo of any of the yellow boxes was still released exactly how he was pictured, he wasn't a prototype or a previous model, but its strange why he was released in 2001. I know this because the second style Tomica World packaging was first used in 2001 as far as I am aware. And for models like the flip face Gordon it was probably in the works since late 2006, but the graphic designers for the packaging never bothered to updated Gordon's model on the back of the boxes of the early 2007 sets from TM HiT Toys Company.
