Here is the rare "pointy-beak" version of SK-Z38 that was recalled by Hasbro due to safety concerns over the beak. This figure never saw general release in the U.S. Not only is the beak longer than the standard release, the internal bubble tray is also reconfigured, with the droid's beak laying completely covered in the bubble tray. The standard release has the tip of the beak extended through a hole in the innter tray.

I'm sorry, but every time I see this droid, I can't help but hear the poem "Pointy Pointy Birds" by Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr (Steve Martin) from the movie "The Man With Two Brains" in my head...
