Just curious to know if they made Individual Japanese Pilots? I've seen individual pilots for other aircraft but haven't seen any Japanese. I'd like to have a few for my Zero's, besides the ones that came with.

The short answer, no.

The long answer, only 21st Century Toys made the individual WW2 pilot figures on single cards... BBI didn't do that, though it would've been cool. I never got a zero, but would like the pilot for sure.

True not on cards but BBI did release its amazing US pacific pilot individually in bags. They were relatively cheap and an upgrade over the 21C pacific pilots.
