The Regular print was reprinted with different artwork by aky CG Works as one of the SVP Black Star Promos and was available in the Paldea Legends Tins from June 9, 2023.

A Jumbo-sized variant of the SVP Black Star Promo was released in the Koraidon ex Collection, released exclusively in Portuguese. The SVP Black Star Promotional print was released in Japan as part of the Shiny Treasure ex subset, with the correct illustrator name.
