    The Merlin figure moves (body and arms), so it is an animatronic toy; the Mordred and Morgan figures (glowing eyes, no stated motion), the light-up arcade machine toy, the pop bumper bobble heads and the sculpted castles state no motion or ball interaction, so they classify as static toys. The barrel ball lock is physical, with a subway.

    Toy and sculpt work is sculptural, so it is credited as art. The credit stays off the Arcade Edition, which ships flat plastics in place of the toys and figures.

    The maker sells the title as one core game in two trims, the Arcade Edition cheaper and unlimited, the Legendary numbered and capped at 500 - so the Arcade Edition is the base and the Legendary Edition its variant (the cheaper, less-limited edition is the base), the same shape Ninja Eclipse's editions already have.

    Every machine under the title 'Merlin's Arcade' carries that same name, so they are the same game. 'Wizards' is recorded on Merlin's Arcade (Arcade Edition), and describes this one too.
