Rarity

Monsterpocalypse figures have a Rarity rated from one to five stars, determining how many copies of the figure are in circulation. "Common" units (mostly grunts) have a rarity of *, "uncommon" units have **, and "rare" units (many of them elites) have ***; in most cases, a unit booster includes two "common", one "uncommon" and one "rare" unit. All buildings (other than monuments and promotional buildings) have a rarity of **, and all Alpha and Ultra form monsters have a rarity of ***. Mega form monsters are **** or ***** depending on the circumstances of their release; shadow and glass promotional units are also **** or *****.

The rarity system was eccentric in Monsterpocalypse: Rise, with grunt units variously being either * or **, and elite units sometimes being ** while others were ***. Later releases have standardized more carefully; in Monsterpocalypse: Now!, all elite units are *** and all grunt units with an elite version are *, with elite-less grunts being **.
