3-Stage / Road Stage Version
This version was the first version of the Wink made, it features Chuck E. Cheese in the middle, who winks his left eye, to the left and right of him are the words "In Pizza We Trust", a play on the phrase "In God We Trust", with two stars on each side. Below Chuck E.'s head is his signature reading "Chuck E. Cheese. There is also a TM symbol under the "We" part. Once the Cyberamic version came out, 3-Stage stores started to cover the "In Pizza We Trust" with red and white ribbons with double sided tape. Some stores do not have the "In Pizza We Trust" covered, making it more rare. This version is used currently on the 3-Stage, Road Stage, and one 1-Stage (in Murrieta, California). This version was manufactured from 1989 to around 1992

Cyberamic Version
This version was the second version of the Wink made, it is the same as the 3-Stage, except the "In Pizza We Trust" is replaced with red and white ribbons, and there is only 1 star on each side, the Chuck E. Cheese signature is also not featured on this version, making it smaller than the 3-Stage version. This version is used currently on the 2-Stage, 1-Stage, some Road Stages, and one 3-Stage (Tallahassee, Florida, which opened in April 1992.). This version was manufactured from around 1992 to 1998. The CEC Stage wink reuses the bit Warblettes body tilt.

Colored Wink
This version was identical to the 3-Stage Wink, except the entire Wink is painted red, white and blue (the colors of the United States flag), it was installed in Mobile, Birmingham (Roebuck), and Huntsville, Alabama. After the closure of the Birmingham (Roebuck) in November 2007, their Wink was shipped to the Madison, Tennessee location. As of October 2022, only Huntsville still has it.
