I'm pretty sure it hasn't come up but can a shell like Marty's be popped like Beltan's stuff?

Probably? But, if ectoplasmic manifestations are usually unstable due to lack of maintenance, PK Shells usually only drop when the user drops, because then they're not supporting it...
To pop it for longer, you'd have to first break it, then stop it from reforming immediately?

PK shells (and other sorts of PK constructs) are quite different from manifestations; they are entire psychokinetic, only appearing solid as a side effect, whereas manifestations are, in effect, temporarily created matter (or energy, or ectoplasm, what have you).
On the other hand, we've seen Chaka disrupt PK constructs before (I recall her doing this to both Cavalier and Judicator), so there clearly are ways to disrupt them, though they probably are different from the ways you would disrupt a manifestation.
On the gripping hand, MATD is related to manifestation, so perhaps Mega-Girl's shell is both a PK construct anda floor wax manifested matter?

Wiki page describes it as
Effects covered more easily under other categories are not listed as being "manifested" (such as Mega-Girl's TK shell, which is probably 90% TK and 10% "other stuff," but usually gets listed as a pure TK power)
