Beyond the standard units, "oversized" PocketModel units, dubbed Mega PocketModels (or MegaModels) by fans, were distributed starting in April 2008. They served as prize support for Organized Play (OP) tournaments, which were public games registered with WizKids Games that received limited edition prizes. While these units had rarity border colors, they were equally accessible during their sales period or as prizes for tournament champions in OP events. These units were also tournament legal, allowing them to be used in official games and tournaments.
