I am beginning to think that a character-limit that was put in place during
the early-to-mid 2000's may no longer be sufficient for describing
LEGO's increasingly-detailed figure pieces!

I really think the description I gave it has plenty of searchable terms. Keys
on the back are surely not the thing that will tip the scale. I would love to
have more characters to describe the pieces, but the ones I worry about usually
have printed arms.

I am beginning to think that a character-limit that was put in place during
the early-to-mid 2000's may no longer be sufficient for describing

I really think the description I gave it has plenty of searchable terms. Keys on the back are surely not the thing that will tip the scale. I would love to have more characters to describe the pieces, but the ones I worry about usually have printed arms.


The way that I usually name (or rename) items, is by asking myself the question
"If I had never seen this piece before, how would I find it?". In this
case, I would search "Bodice" (or "Corset"), but that would return too many results
to find the part quickly***. Thus, I would start searching prominent details
of the design in-question - In this case, chains, an eye, keys, and a skull.
Searching "Bodice" with any of those keywords yields only this
Torso/Torso Assembly, if the parts are named as I suggested. Your name only included
the keywords "Chain" and "Padlock" (IIRC), the former of which I would likely
not search, since I see this part as having multiple chains, and the latter of
which is a bit too specific for someone who is searching after only a cursory
look at the part (I left it in, though, since it is accurate and it does
provide another keyword).


***Such patterns are described as either "Bodice" or "Corset", with "Corset"
showing more results. This should be standardised. I am not sure which is more
historically-accurate, but I think that most people would probably search
"Corset" over "Bodice" ("Corset/Bodice Pattern" may work, if it does not make
titles overly-long).
