Hobby Japan, was the local Magic distributor in Japan and organizer of the Japanese tournament environment. In 2002 Hobby Japan introduced a temporary Promo reward program starting with Odyssey which featured five Promo tokens figures. They come in a clear sealed wrapper inside a white box except for Champions of Kamigawa that were in a black sealed wrapper. They are made of plastic and measure approximately 1.18" (3cm). The name of the token, color, power/toughness and ability is mentioned on the front of the piedestal. On the bottom of the tokens, there are three logos: Magic: the Gathering, Wizards of the Coast and Hobby Japan. The first Odyssey/Onslaught series was sent in April 2004 to some MTG stores in the US as a thanks reward for participating in the Premier Store program.

A third series of six Promo tokens figures was available with Champions of Kamigawa.
