SPLIT LIP is, of course, invaluable and succinct. The Double kits are all constructed so that they can be easily disassembled and recombined. (It's actually so easy to pull them apart that certain elements, like the torso, might start to come off of the central channel just by posing. Not always, but somewhat often.)

Here's a few more photos to try and illustrate that effect, and some of the specifics to CycloneJoker:

Here's some detail on how the torso comes off. It pegs in separately from the abdomen and the neck.

Here's the whole left side of the body removed. The abdomen is a thin shell that clips onto the central channel. The hip pegs in, and then the leg sockets in. Everything's super-easy to pry off and pop back on. Stuff comes off from either side of the channel, and it doesn't matter which side you disassemble. Like, LunaTrigger can have the Trigger half taken off of the central channel, or the Luna half. Whichever you want.

CycloneJoker does come with a gimmick the other Double kits lack: Joker Extreme! Basically, you pull all of the pieces off of the central channel, and then peg them onto these new central channels independent of each other. As ShiShiLeo noted, doing this means the neck, torso, and abdomen pieces won't move. The arms and legs can still pose, but everything on the main body is stuck in place. There are also halfbody versions of the Driver and the antenna. Best of all, the two halves work on an inner track, so you can slide the Joker half into a descending profile. Like combining the halves with other kits, it's super easy to play around with this after you've built everything. It's not an either-or proposition.

I really love these kits. Anything else folks want to know about them, I'm happy to help.

I couldn’t resist the temptation and assembled Ex-Aid yesterday! More pics later.

Small question. How good would these kits be for someone with mildly shaky hands and absolutely no experience with model kits?

I was thinking about picking up one, but I want to make sure it won't explode while I'm putting it together or something.

These kits are specifically made for people with no experience— FRS Zi-O was my first model kit and I put it together easily; there’s no language barrier, the instructions are clear and easy to follow, there’s no paint needed and it’s all designed in a way that beginners will have an easy time with. I’d recommend getting some tweezers and clippers but that’s it really!

I can’t vouch for your shaky hands, though — without wanting to ask for your medical information on a forum about building model kits of punchy bugmen, how bad is it?

Not sure if you and I have the same severity, but I also have the shaky hands and very little experience with model kits.

While I've never built an FRS kit myself, from what I've gathered these kits are about the same sort of process that alot of HG Gunpla are, which I have built with my friends a couple times.

And assuming I'm right about that, these should be easy enough to handle for you. If you know anyone who's done model kit building before, ask them to help you out. If not, I recommend picking up a Mr. Basic Tool Set and then maybe watching one or two tutorials on YouTube to get the gist of things.

Just make sure to work over a spot where parts won't easily get lost if you happen to drop them and you should be fine.

Mostly just somewhat messy handwriting and having to be really careful with Figuarts pieces.

Oh so that's what those are for.

If they ever release Gekitotsu robots I wonder will it be just an armour/ alternate parts or a completely new figure? I’m betting on new figure since Ex-Aid isn’t exactly easy to separate.

How do you put in Ex-Aid’s breaker into hammer mode?

The blade should just unclip. Then clip on the tiny pink fire-wave piece.

I know, but is there any sort of trick to it? I'm having problems actually gettingit on the clip.
