I heal animals. Animals heal humans. Through pets, people learn to respect and care for another living creature. Then they can apply that to other people and living things in general.

Notes:
· As seen in the first DiamondSelectToys.com promotional image, all of the gear that was purple for one of the prototype figures was changed to gray
· The November 2003 Previews advertisement appeared on pages 230 and 383, and the May 2004 advertisement was printed on pages 457 and 497
· Bagged versions of the figure signed by David Mack were given away at Toy Fair 2003
· Although retailers were informed that the ratio of Scarab to Akemi figures would be 7:1 for each case, the figures were released in the ratio of 3:1 (six Scarab and two Akemi action figures).
· The back of the blister packages are the same except for the UPC symbols.
