Trivia[]
- On some Splittin' Image IIs in from the Terrorific series, the base refers to it as Sting Ray III. Despite this, the package refers to it as Splittin' Image II.
- On the front of the Hot Wheels Octoblast set, several pictures of orange Splittin' Image IIs with white/purple tampos and SB wheels were shown. This Splittin' Image II does not exist, however.
