    Just wondering if it is worth removing the section about non-toon accurate Nightstick section referring to MP-37's Targetmaster? It's just a name mix up from the original C-108 Artfire who actually came with a Fracas mould partner (as you have correctly pointed out and referenced for the Fracas entry).

    All the best

    Evasion-mode Bayverse Op?
    Wei-Jiang M-01/M-01D, although perhaps that's too large for MP.

    Yea, that whole situation is kinda confusing, right?! :)  Does it look ok now?

    As of right now, I'm not including the Wei Jiang/Robot Hero/etc. oversized stuff. It might be something to include in the future if the demand is there, but since it's an entirely different MP scale I'm not sure how to work it in. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

    Me too. Me too...

    It's definitely better, I'd probably drop the MP-37 reference under "Nightstick" completely, as it's just a name. I think it's fine as is, though, if you're happy with it :) 

    All the best

    I'll throw in for a sticky - this thread and its predecessor are such an invaluable resource in the community for MP-scale collectors, it's amazing.

    Nothing like this really exists for the other scales or styles, it's pretty amazing having this available, and I do believe it deserves to be stickied.

    Does any consider Grapple to be a part of Season 1 characters, if only for a brief moment as Hauler? I'm collecting only Season 1 Characters, but I'm not sure to include Grapple or not. What do you guys think?

    That's a tough one. For me, Grapple was not Hauler. In the one scene we see Hauler, I don't think he's referred to by name. I think some foreign re-releases of the show have retroactively renamed him Grapple. I suppose I could add him to season 1 and add MMC's offering. I'm have to think about it.
