Late in the ''Battle Beasts'' line, all of the Battle Beasts could have a new version of the rubsign that reveals a full-color symbol on a black backdrop. There are also a pair of widespread but minor variants to the figure: some have painted front teeth and others unpainted, plus the weapon's oval-shaped indent in the middle of the blade can also come in a shape that's more pointed on the ends.		: Thus, the only way to get a "Scout Mouse" is through the Hasbro ''Battle Beast'' line, as "Powerhouse Mouse", available only in the "Series 2" two-packs.
