Let G, the group of rotations in 4 dimensional space, act on the set of n! paintings of each convex regular 4-polytopes having n cells. There are n! fixed points in the action table since the only element in G that leaves a painting fixed is the identity element. The order of G is A273509/2. So by Burnside's Lemma a(n)=n!/|G|. a(5) = 120!/7200 and a(6) = 600!/72000 and they are too large to display.
See A198861 for the Platonic solids which are the analogs of the regular polyhedra in three dimensions.
a(6) = 17577...66368*10^146 has 1405 digits. - Georg Fischer, Jun 16 2025

			The second of these six 4-polytopes (in sequence of cell count) is the 4-cube (with 8 cells). It has |G| = 192 rotations with n = 8. Hence a(2) = 8!/192 = 210.

In 3 dimensions there are five (convex) regular polytopes and each of them (trivially) consists of a single cell.
In 4 dimensions there are six regular 4-polytopes and they have 5, 8, 16, 24, 120, 600 3-dimensional cells (A063924).
In m >= 5 dimensions, there are only 3 regular polytopes (i.e., the m-simplex, the m-cube, and the m-crosspolytope) so that we can sort their number of (3-dimensional) cells in ascending order and define the present sequence.

			8 is a term since the hypersurface of a tesseract consists of 8 (cubical) cells.

Andrew Weimholt suggests a related sequence, namely "total number of vertices in all finite n-dimensional regular polytopes, or 0 if the number is infinite, includes both convex and non-convex, beginning: 1, 2, 0, 106, 2453, 48, 83, 150, 281, 540, ... and writes that the sequence of just the non-convex cases (0, 0, -1, 56, 1680, 0, 0, 0, ..., where "-1" indicates infinity as zero is otherwise employed) is not as interesting, since it's all zeros from a(5) on.

			a(0) = 1 because the 0-D regular polytope is the point.
a(1) = 2 because the only regular 1-D polytope is the line segment, with 2 vertices, one at each end.
a(2) = 0, indicating infinity, because the regular k-gon has k vertices.
a(3) = 50 (4 for the tetrahedron, 6 for the octahedron, 8 for the cube, 12 for the icosahedron, 20 for the dodecahedron) = the sum of A053016.
a(4) = 773 = 5 + 8 + 16 + 24 + 120 + 600 = sum of A063924.
For n>4 there are only the three regular n-dimensional polytopes, the simplex with n+1 vertices, the hypercube with 2^n vertices and the hyperoctahedron = cross polytope = orthoplex with 2*n vertices, for a total of A086653(n) + 1 = 2^n + 3*n + 1 (again restricted to n > 4).

Only included for completeness (see other sequences in crossrefs). This is one of those entries that I think should be included since it is such an elementary sequence in geometry, but where the terms do otherwise not really make a very spectacular sequence.

The ordering of the polytopes in the enumeration of the element counts is somewhat arbitrary, though based on invariants inherently associated with these polytopes. For example, ordering first by vertex-count, then by edge-count, then by face-count and then by cell-count might have been as good a choice as the one used for the sequence.
