Special editions
The collectible can be produced in open or limited edition, in which case it is usually individually numbered.

In addition, a small number of Artist Proofs are produced. Artist Proofs are made outside the regular production run in order to provide a check on quality. Typically they are given to film officials (eg Peter Jackson), artists or trade clients.

In some cases, a figure’s number is highly significant, such as, #666 Sauron, the Dark Lord figure, or #111 Bag End environment (as The Lord of the Rings commenced with 111th birthday of Bilbo Baggins).

The collection is focused on Artist Proofs or special number replicas.
