Even with this second run, this figure's rarity has given it an ''incredibly'' high secondary-market price tag, upwards of 50,000 yen (roughly $450 in USD at the time of this writing). In the English-speaking collector community this figure is typically referred to as "Stone Cobra", and it is a common target for [[Knockoff\|counterfeits]].		: The figure was produced in insufficient numbers to meet the demand, resulting in a second production run (thus the sticker/no-sticker versions; it's unclear which was the first-run, but ''presumably'' the rarer sticker-having version came first).

	: The only version of Cobrander available in the ''Transformers'' iteration of the ''Beastformers'' line, Ceramic Special Cobrander (石にされた特製コブランダー ''Ishi ni Sareta Tokusei Koburandā'') is an anthropomorphic cobra in robotic armor, cast in marbled-gray plastic, lacking the normal toy's weapon. His left arm ends in a thumbless spike. One version has a bare chest where a [[rubsign\|Battle Emblem]] should be, while the other (seemingly far, ''far'' rarer) version has a sticker with the Royal Lion Clan emblem from the [[Bewitching Serpent Seal]] card.		: The only version of Cobrander available in the ''Transformers'' iteration of the ''Beastformers'' line, Ceramic Special Cobrander (石にされた特製コブランダー ''Ishi ni Sareta Tokusei Koburandā'') is an anthropomorphic cobra in robotic armor, cast in marbled-gray plastic, lacking the normal toy's weapon.

	: He could only be obtained by a mail-away offer requiring the purchase of both the [[Red Phoenix#Toys\|Red ~~Pheonix~~]] [[Fortress (Beastformers)\|Fortress]] and the "Burstsun Special Set" ten-pack: each one had half of a "stone tablet" token that had to be mailed in along with a filled-out questionnaire included in both packages. The last day to send in the paperwork was [[January 31]], 1988.		: He could only be obtained by a mail-away offer requiring the purchase of both the [[Red Phoenix#Toys\|Red Phoenix]] [[Fortress (Beastformers)\|Fortress]] and the "Burstsun Special Set" ten-pack: each one had half of a "stone tablet" token that had to be mailed in along with a filled-out questionnaire included in both packages.

	: The figure was produced in insufficient numbers to meet the demand, resulting in a second production run (thus the sticker/no-sticker versions; it's unclear which was the first-run, but ''presumably'' the rarer sticker-having version came first). Even with this second run, this figure's rarity has given it an ''incredibly'' high secondary-market price tag, upwards of 50,000 yen (roughly $450 in USD at the time of this writing). In the English-speaking collector community this figure is typically referred to as "Stone Cobra", and it is a common target for [[Knockoff\|counterfeits]].		: The figure was produced in insufficient numbers to meet the demand, resulting in a second production run (thus the sticker/no-sticker versions; it's unclear which was the first-run, but ''presumably'' the rarer sticker-having version came first).
