Colourway is the word that makes this kind of collecting legible. One sculpt is tooled once, then issued again and again in different paint applications, so a line that looks enormous is a handful of moulds wearing different finishes. Knowing that, a collector reads a new release correctly: the question is never what the figure is, but which scheme it carries and whether that scheme has appeared on other sculpts.

Which is why a list like this one is the spine of the whole archive. The schemes recur across sculpts and across scales, and they carry their own followings — a name that reads as nonsense to an outsider identifies a palette, a weathering style and sometimes a faction in the fiction. Sorting the range by scheme rather than by sculpt shows what was actually produced, and the gaps in the grid are where the rare pieces sit.
