You can paste a material to all materials in the prop/figure. So if you have a material the is to be on a lot of props/figures, copy it, then "Paste Node to All Materials for this Figure/Prop". There is not currently a multiple selection option to fast copy across a number of scene elements in one go.

Yeah...I've kind of had the same problem before...
The fastest and easiest way to do what you want would be to set ONE material to the value you whish ... for example set the Specular Power Value to 0.3 or something like that.

Then right click the material node and select "Copy Specular Node"

Now go through the material nodes that you want to change, right click and select "Paste Specular Node". This way you can SELECT which material you would like to apply the settings to instead of applying it to every material with the same name.

Hope this helps.
