	: In a surprise move, "'''Gurafi'''" (what the hell?) was reissued as part of the ''[[Vintage G1]]'' series, in a 3-pack alongside "[[Noise#Vintage G1\|Noizu]]" and an inexplicable, just-different-enough-to-make-you-mad version of [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Vintage G1\|''Vintage G1'' "Decepticon Frenzy"]].

	: This version of Graphy has several notable differences from the original, mainly in his stickering. His tape-mode stickers are generally larger, extending all the way to the edges of his parts, which leads to the detailing not lining up properly in tape mode. His central-body sticker adds a second silver line just above the tape "window", despite there being only one line on the connecting wing stickers (as the original has). Many of these lines are partially obscured by an added black gradient. And of course, he uses the new ''Vintage G1'' style [[rubsign]], with a red-only symbol and mirror-like silver border.		: This version of Graphy has several notable differences from the original, mainly in his stickering.

	: As one of the few toys unique to the Japanese ''Headmasters'' toy line, and something of a tail-ender within the year's product ~~ouput~~, Graphy and the other three "dino-cassettes" command ridiculous sums on the secondary market. Their actual ''rarity'' is questionable, though; similar "exclusive holy grails" [[Ricochet (Headmasters)#Toys\|Stepper]], [[Artfire#Toys\|Artfire]], [[Blaster (G1)#TwincastG1\|Twincast]], and [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#SoundblasterG1\|Soundblaster]] were uncommon, but not vanishingly rare, yet still commanded top dollar due to overseas perception (until they got reissued, at any rate).
