Stubz series featuring iconic real-world brands alongside fictional on-screen brands, places, products, and in-universe artifacts from film and television, colliding inside a shared pop-culture universe. Each release is canon in its own world and now exists in ours.

The consecutive number assigned to a release within a Stubz series. Alphanumeric modifiers (e.g., 5B, 5C) are used when multiple releases exist for the same property. The original release uses the base number (e.g., 5), and subsequent designs are labeled sequentially using letter suffixes starting with B. The letter A is intentionally omitted to avoid confusion with the base release.

Sequels are treated as separate properties and are assigned their own unique release numbers. For example, Jaws 2 would have a different base number than Jaws.
