The material editions

Common — Matte

1,800 guardians, representing 60% of the collection. A matte painted shell preserves the chosen shell color with a subdued surface.

Uncommon — Satin

750 guardians, representing 25% of the collection. A satin-painted shell adds a softer sheen while keeping the same underlying form.

Rare — Brushed Metal

360 guardians, representing 12% of the collection. A tinted brushed-metal finish gives the shell a metallic surface without replacing its palette or silhouette.

Mythic — Iridescent

90 guardians, representing 3% of the collection. A pearlescent, iridescent coat sits over the chosen shell hue. The core character remains consistent with the rest of the collection.

What rarity means here

Tier is determined by the Finish trait. Shell color, frame, outfit, equipment, and expression remain separate visual categories. A guardian’s token number is an identifier, not a visual trait.

These are design classifications and allocation counts. They do not represent a price, investment value, or a promised resale outcome.

The Mythic Vault

The waitlist experience displays all 90 Mythic guardians in a cinematic gallery. The camera moves through the collection before the doors open onto the application form. Read the waitlist guide.
