Robots, figures, art toys and the craft of collecting

Latest

The short letter codes in these names come from the fiction's own organisation chart. The robots belong to units, and units have designations, so a figure carries both the finish of its faction and the abbreviation of its branch — which is how the range keeps dozens of near-identical machines distinguishable without inventing a new sculpt for each one.

It is also the part of the naming a listing most often gets wrong. A seller copying a name from memory drops the letters, or keeps them and drops the colourway, and the result matches two or three different releases at once. When checking a figure against a reference page, the sequence to verify is scale, then sculpt, then scheme, then the designation — in that order, because each narrows the field and the designation is the one that separates pieces of quite different scarcity.
