 After the release of the movie, Kuwahara started mass producing these E.T. colored bikes. There were three types of them made. Two of them were the loop tail type frame with KZ type double gussets. The loop tail E.T. bikes were split up into two grades. One was a "High-end" type with Japanese made components and a higher price and were almost only sold in serious bike shops. The lower price loop tail E.T. model featured less exotic parts to help keep the cost down. Pictures of the two types of loop tail E.T. bikes can be found below. The third E.T. model was the cheap Apollo frame model with it's single front gusset and three holes pressed into it, non-loop tail rear, and full high tinsel steel frame. The Apollo Kuwahara E.T. bikes were about half the price of the loop tail bikes and featured mostly Taiwan made parts, however the frame was made in Japan. The Apollo E.T. or the cheaper version were sold in toy and department stores and are sometimes known as the Toy store E.T. model
