Standard nomenclature?
Is there a standard nomenclature for listing items for sale or on an inventory list?
For example, I just purchased a Taberon on eBay (for $25!) It's gray, and the seller I got it from noted that it was an SDCC release. I know that the toy company that produced it is Wonderwall, that the series (I think) is TFGU, that somehow TokiDoki is involved (not sure if that's an artist or a collective, or something else), and that it was either painted by Simone Legno or designed from one of his paintings. Not clear on that.
Similarly, I have a couple of Kozik pieces--a salari-ika and an El Panda Emperor of the Golden Throne. The ika is Wonderwall, the El Panda does not say (it's a signed piece) and I have no idea if either is a KFGU piece.
1. If I were going to list the three items above, how would I list them?
Does the "x" in the listing stand for "by" or is it like in botany where it designates a hybrid cross?
2. Is there any simple way to determine the particulars on these items with some accuracy other than entering all the terms into a google search field and seeing what comes up (or bugging the forum every time something confuses me?)
You can see where I *am*a little confused about this. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Re: Standard nomenclature?
The 'x' usually means a collaboration where both artists/companies worked on the sculpt, or where one sculpted and the other painted. I don't really regard KFGU pieces as collaborations since they are just the artists' designs produced by Wonderwall for the KFGU line, which is intended to consist entirely of various artists' "kaiju" (as loose as their use of the term may be).
Legno's only involvement with Taberon that I know of, is that he designed the character. Maybe he approves/chooses the colorways, I don't know.
Salari-Ika is KFGU. El Panda is not (from Muttpop, I think).

Re: Standard nomenclature?
Yes, El Panda is indeed from Muttpop.

Quote: Yes, El Panda is indeed from Muttpop. So it would be "El Panda Muttpop x Kozik?"

Re: Standard nomenclature?
And it's not REALLY multiplication in the end anyway! What about using $ or better yet ~~~ like little fish guys connecting the 2 companies?
