It'd be great to get an official "naming policy" of some sort. You know, a guide that tell you what kind of titles to give to article. Wookieepedia has one. Star Wars Fanon has one.

Let's take an example, shall we? Three Darth Vader action figures were released in 2006 as a part of The Saga Collection. The earliest one is from Battle of Hoth wave, the second being the only figure in Bespin Confession wave and the third being from Battle of Endor wave. So, let's imagine that I'd want to make a page out of Hoth Vader. What would it's name be? Hoth Darth Vader (2006)? Battle of Hoth Darth Vader (2006)? Darth Vader - Battle of Hoth (2006)?

It's a different thing if the character has been made as an action figure only once (i.e Moff Jerjerrod), but Vader and Luke are so popular - since they're main characters - that they're repacked several times a year.

And a quick glance at Special:Allpages reveals that as of now, 24th of February, 2007, we have pages that are from a certain collection - the same action figure collection - with quite different names. There's Saga Collection Sora Bulq and SAGA Collection Emperor Palpatine. They're a part of The Saga Collection. There should be a policy on how to name such pages. I'd name those as "The Saga Collection Sora Bulq" or then "TSC Sora Bulq". The latter could cause some confusion with popular characters, as Darth Vader was released three times as a basic figure and numerous other times as an exclusive etc.

For reference, look at Darth Vader disambiguation page and then post here your suggestion on how to name those action figures that are listed on that page.
