With minipla you can just push them off the sprue, but you might need an exacto/sand paper to get rid of the plastic nub marks.

no i mean like fingernail/toenail clippers, although if there sharp enough i guess scissors could work potentionally

What I meant was do you mean the small scissors looking thing or the other thing with the lever used for cutting nails?

two little curved blades on two pieces of metal connected and a third piece to push one blade on the other

Looks good.
I'm going to CA for 8 days this weekend. I'm trying to decide if I should take the Go-Busters, or Gokaiger mechs to paint and assemble while I'm there. Or if I should take MG Figurerise Skull. It's hard to gauge just how much time I'll have to work on them.

dont take skull, too many small pieces for one of those crappy small hotel tables

Well, it's actually a really nice beach house my in-laws are renting for the week, but there are also going to be 25-ish nieces/nephews, so the 'too many small pieces' thing probably holds.
So the Gokai-machines and Go-Buster-Oh it is!

ya. have fun stickering every single part of patstriker! >:D

I've already done Patstriker. I put on the stickers with the Gokai-logo and the rainbow stripes, and painted the rest. I thought I had a picture of it somewhere, but I can't find it, I'll have to take one.
I think it looks pretty good. I went and got a spray can of some clear coat, and it made it look pretty swell, in my opinion. I plan on taking the spray and a bunch of paint markers to replace most of the stickers.
