Here's another prime example of catalog inconsistencies where the handheld item gets special treatment with the allowance of two entries here:-   *  njo118a (Inv) Karlof Minifigures: NINJAGO: Tournament of Elements   *  njo118 (Inv) Karlof (without Gorilla Fists) Minifigures: NINJAGO: Tournament of Elements But not for other fist welding minfigures such as below where it only appears without fists:-   *  nex017 (Inv) Moltor Minifigures: NEXO KNIGHTS On the same token this one you can only buy with the fists:-   *  incr008 (Inv) Underminer Minifigures: The Incredibles: Incredibles 2 Making special exceptions is one thing but it should at least be consistent among those minifigs wielding the exact same part with either two entries for each or just one or the other! Yes, these really reinforce the point. It looks like the existing ability to list alternates for an item within a set inventory is a suitable solution. From here, it would just be a case of getting the basic and fuller build versions of any given figure approved for the catalogue. If that's really too much to ask, then just go with the stripped-down configuration and let sellers note any additional parts they will include. Many are doing this already anyway.
