	A '''partial''' (an abbreviation of "'''partial tool'''", "'''partial new mold'''", "'''partial tooling''', or "'''partial remolding'''"), is when one toy either has newly-sculpted parts added to it or when a new toy borrows parts from another, distinct toy. The term "partial," functionally, has a lot of overlap with the term "[[retool]]," but "partial" has a broader implications and can cover not only when a toy has merely new head or chest tooled for it but also a toy being an entirely new sculpt except for borrowing a few small pieces, such as tires, from another toy. As long as a toy uses any new parts not originally from itself, it's considered a partial.
