This version is identical to the regularly-released boxed version, including the randomized rubsign, except the gashapons appear to have randomized weapons (or just crummy quality control).

	: There is also a rare all-white/cream version of Killer Fish; these rare versions can vary in how white they actually are, and it's uncertain if that's how they started or if some have simply [[photodegradation\|yellowed]] with age. These white versions tend to be ''very'' expensive on the secondary market.		: There is also a rare all-white/cream version of Killer Fish; these rare versions can vary in how white they actually are, and it's uncertain if that's how they started or if some have simply [[photodegradation\|yellowed]] with age.

	: Re-released in the ''Transformers''-less ''Beastformers'' sequel series, Killer Fish was given a straight re-release with new packaging and a new, more filled-out bio card with corrected coloring. This new card also gave his weapon, now branded an "[[MVP Weapon]]", the name "Killer Anchor" (キラーアンカー ''Kirā Ankā''). Speaking of the weapon, there is also a chance he could come with the weapon from one of the other Beastformers in his shipping case; matching the Beasts with their same-numbered weapons was part of the "role-playing game" attached to the line, encouraging kids to buy more of the toys.		: Re-released in the ''Transformers''-less ''Beastformers'' sequel series, Killer Fish was given a straight re-release with new packaging and a new, more filled-out bio card with corrected coloring.

			: He ''usually'' comes with a silver anchor-weapon marked with the same ID number as on his back. However, ''Beastformers'' is notorious for toys coming with someone else's weapon; it's unclear if this was just poor QC or intentional.

	: The [[Hasbro]] ''Battle Beasts'' release of the figure can vary in the tone of the pink paint used on its armor, with some samples being a more desaturated and matte olive; it's uncertain if the Takara version has similar (minor) paint variation.		: The [[Hasbro]] ''Battle Beasts'' release of the figure can vary in the tone of the pink paint used on its armor, with some samples being a more desaturated and matte olive; it's uncertain if the Takara version has similar (minor) paint variation.
