Solar Eagle Hot Wheels: Orange

So after Mattel released the original Solar Eagle III single and set, I would obsessively look for them anytime I was in a store that sold hot wheels, or even just toys. I looked at Toys R Us; grocery stores; drug stores; Army base PXs; etc.

And finally, I was rewarded with finding alternate versions. Mattel must've decided to amortize their investment in the original vehicle by releasing three more versions. Two of them are just repainted versions of the original: one orange (in this post) and one red. A third one is black with some alternate graphics on it (future post).
