Number of pieces
The total number of parts included in the delivery of the designer. At the same time, the calculation, usually, also takes into account the details that make up individual characters (torso, arms, legs, head, etc.) — despite the fact that the figures are most often delivered assembled and are not designed for disassembly during normal use . Also note that the kit may include several spare parts, in case of breakage or loss of any of the main elements.
Moving elements (mechanics)
Details and elements that, after assembling the designer, can move, but are not driven by a motor; in other words, moving parts that need to be moved manually. These can be, for example, windows and doors, hatches, screws, crane booms, etc. The exception is rotating wheels — in this case they are not considered moving elements.
Mechanical moving elements can be combined with motorized ones (see below).
Storage box
The presence of a separate
box for storage in the kit of delivery of the designer.
Note that the boxes in this case include containers made of solid material (plastic is most often used). Such containers are quite strong and reliable, moreover, they are often equipped with locks that prevent accidental opening. Thanks to this, they tolerate various troubles well — for example, if a child accidentally drops another toy on the box, the accident will end in a dent or scratch in the worst case, and turning over the closed container does not lead to spillage of parts. In light of all this, boxes are usually more convenient than improvised "storage" or ordinary cardboard boxes, in which designers are often sold (naturally, such boxes are not considered boxes).
