	: He came in a green-grid generic "Cybertron Beastformer" box, with a bio card with a line-art character image first used in [[Hasbro]]'s ''Battle Beasts'' cast poster (rather than the painted images of the prior two series). Depending on the "Pack" he came in, there was a chance of his bio card being replaced with a rare "[[Secret Photo]]", "[[Bewitching Serpent Seal]]", or "VS [[Holography Mirror]]" card.

	: A small, super-deformed, articulation-free version of Koala Gray was sold both as a [[gacha\|gashapon]] capsule prize by Takara, and as a [[candy toy]] with "chocoballs" through the candy/ snack company [[Meiji]]. ~~The candy toy version~~ came with a bio/data ~~card with its own role~~-~~playing rules; Koala has~~ ''~~Transformers~~''-~~era painted character art.~~		: A small, super-deformed, articulation-free version of Koala Gray was sold both as a [[gacha\|gashapon]] capsule prize by Takara (three per capsule for 200 yen), and as a [[candy toy]] with chocolate-coated cereal-like corn puff "chocoballs" through the candy/snack company [[Meiji]] (two toys per box, for 100 yen). This stumpy lil fellow could be found in red, blue or green plastic, representing the Fire, Water and Wood elements (even though he still had a rubsign). All of the Meji Beastformers come with a ''different'' Beastformer's weapon attached to their shoulder by a snippable sprue. Koala Gray came with [[Badshark#Meiji\|Badshark]]'s "Bark Spin" weapon, while [[Devilbat#Mieji\|Devilbat]] came with Koala's "Iron Axe".

			: The interior of each chocoballs box contains super-brief bio data for two of the twenty possible beasts, as well as rules for three different styles of game: the traditional Fire/Wood/Water deal, a "flick the figures and knock your opponent over" deal, and a more involved game that requires character data from Meiji's ''other'' candy-based ''Beastformers'' merch, the Battle Cards (see below).

The back of the card features a severely truncated bio, with data for the game from the Meiji chocoball SD figures' packaging.

	==Notes==		==Notes==
			* Koala Gray's 1987 cast poster art (seen at top) incorrectly shows him with a gold weapon. The 1988 version of the art corrects this mistake.
			* His 1988 bio gives him the imaginative nickname "'''Koala'''" (コアラ ''Koara'').
