Key features

1. Damage-free disassembly: Resin construction is softer than the plastic it's working on, so it separates parts without the gouges a nipper or knife edge can leave.

2. Two tools in one: A wedge blade for prying snapped parts apart, and a pin tip for pushing pegs out or steadying polycaps while you work.

3. Universal fit: Works on the standard snap-fit joints and polycaps across virtually every Gunpla grade, not tied to one kit or series.

Series FAQ

Bandai Spirits Parts Separator (Gundam)

The Tool That Saves a Botched Assembly

Every Gunpla builder eventually needs to pull a part back off the runner or the frame, and doing it with a nipper or a fingernail is how parts get gouged. The Bandai Spirits Parts Separator is a purpose-built resin tool for exactly that job: it separates snap-fit parts and polycap joints cleanly, without scarring the plastic.

How it works

No modelling skill needed to use this, just a light touch. The flat wedge end slides into the seam of two snapped parts and gently levers them apart, so the resin edge takes the stress instead of your plastic. The narrow pin end handles the other common job: pushing a pin or peg out from underneath, or holding a polycap steady while you work so it doesn't get crushed or deformed under pressure.

What Makes This Tool Special

  • Resin construction: Softer than the plastic it's working on, so it separates parts without gouging or scratching them the way a nipper or hobby knife edge can.
  • Two functions in one tool: A wedge blade for prying snapped parts apart, and a pin tip for pushing pegs out or steadying polycaps.
  • Polycap-safe: Insert the pin into a polycap before clamping it and it holds its shape instead of crushing under pressure.
  • Pocket-sized: Flat, light, and easy to keep in a tool tray or a builder's kit bag.

What's In The Box

  • 1x Bandai Spirits Parts Separator (single-piece resin tool)

Compatible Kits

This is a universal tool, not tied to any one kit or series. It works on the standard snap-fit joints and Bandai polycaps found across the vast majority of Gunpla releases, from Entry Grade, SD, HG, RG, MG, MGEX and up to PG, anywhere you need to correct a mis-assembled part or safely pull something back apart. Bandai's own usage guide demonstrates it on standard ABS/PS snap-fit parts (wedge end) and on polycap joints (pin end).

Fast Australian Shipping

Same Day Dispatch: Orders placed before 2pm weekdays ship same day. Orders after 2pm or on weekends ship next business day.

Dispatched from Brisbane. Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $199. Packed securely in a sturdy outer box with water-soluble cornstarch void fill that dissolves cleanly in the sink.

What to Watch For

It's a simple single-piece tool, so there isn't much to go wrong. The main technique note from Bandai's own usage guide: let the wedge edge do the work rather than forcing it, and use the pin end (not the wedge) when you're specifically trying to protect a polycap from crushing.

Build Notes

No glue, paint or other tools required to use this. A light touch is all it takes: wedge end for prying snapped parts apart, pin end for pushing pegs out or steadying polycaps during assembly.

Parts Separator

Parts separators are primarily tools designed to safely separate fitted or snapped-together parts of model kits without causing damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Parts Separator actually do?

It's a two-ended resin tool for pulling apart Gunpla parts you need to redo. The wedge end levers snapped parts apart without gouging the plastic, and the pin end pushes pegs out or holds a polycap steady so it doesn't get crushed.

Will it damage my parts or leave marks?

That's the point of it. The tool is moulded from a resin that's softer than the styrene and ABS your kit is made from, so it flexes and gives rather than scarring the part the way a nipper edge, screwdriver or fingernail can.

Do I need any modelling experience to use it?

No. It's a simple squeeze-and-pry action, not a skill-based tool. Beginners find it just as useful as experienced builders, since everyone eventually needs to pull a part back apart.

Does it work on polycap joints specifically?

Yes. Insert the pin end into the polycap before you clamp or pull on it and it holds its shape under pressure instead of crushing, which is exactly the failure mode this tool exists to prevent.

Is it worth adding to my order if I'm building my first kit?

Genuinely, yes. First-time builders are the most likely to need to redo a part, and this stops that moment from turning into a damaged piece. It's a small, cheap add-on that earns its place in a tool tray fast.

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
