 Secret Base Figure List with Colorway Production Count I have seen lists for SB figures that give names, also rarity of figures (1 being very rare and 5 being easy to find) but I haven't been able to find a location that give the amount of SB figures produced in a certain colorway or special figure...does anyone know of anything out there?
Example: I have the orange Halloween Skullbrain Pumpkin that one list tells me that it is a #2 as rarity...but I cannot find anywhere that tells me production count

You will also never see production numbers for Secret Base. Most JP vinyl's are made in small runs and they rarly post production numbers.

They don't release production numbers that's part of the secret in Secret Base, enjoy it.

They're all between 1 and 1000.

Production numbers are almost never given, and we support this 100%. Why? It allows you to look at a toy and buy because you like it, or reject it because you don't like it. There is no buying of toys just because it is a limited run, or feeling over-underwhelmed by a run. How many are made should not affect your appreciation of a toy. After a while, you will get to know certain ebbs and flows of manufacturers, and therefore a better sense of what may or may not be more difficult to find. I hope that helps.
Also, in a funny way, it lets the better toys rise to the top. There may be more made of a certain color of figure, but because demeand is made on the strength of the toy instead of it's production number, higher production toys can carry a bigger premium, where stinkier toys can drop, there is no "artificial demand" of "rarity" for a toy no one wants. Plus you don't feel compelled to keep something you don't like just because you got something "rare". A 1 of 10 edition of a piece of poop is still a piece of poop, but 1 of 200 of gold is still gold. Does this make any sense?

It does give clarity to the art of collecting what is appetizing to the individual and not a false sense of want brought on by function of desire for a limited item that we may not have bought otherwise
