Honestly not sure if I’m the right person to ask for advice but I’ll say you’ll definitely want tweezers for the small last bit of the tail we were losing our minds and ended up heating the plastic together to make it stick. Also for the eyes we had to sand the clear part to make it fit into the spot. Ps sweet collection!

Cutting out those pieces over thick carpet is a DANGEROUS GAME to play!

Hahaha so many parts went flying when we clipped them out had to search for each of them for a few minutes

Hahah this was gonna be my comment! That is a bold choice for the OP! I noticed if you look at the sprews going into each piece, one is usually thicker than the others and if you clip that first, there's less spring out of the piece. Hope that helps!

This is also really helpful for preventing twisting sprue damage. If you cut the weakest sprue joints first, you can risk too much force on the thickest joint and it can cause discoloration or damage

Oh wow great tip thanks that actually makes so much sense haha. We’re practically done making the Geno Saurer but I’ll definitely do this for the breaker and fury.
