A Very Noobish Question...

[Jelmerboy]

Today I got my Battle Starter (Riptide & Flamethrower-sets in one) - yay -, but I also got a booster (with Machop and Voltorb), and my question is...
How can you get the figures from that spinning underthingie, I don't know how it is called, but that thing that makes the figures spin? Because I've tried to take them off, but I don't want to break anything, but I also want to play Machop or Voltorb. Can someone help me?

Turn the figure in the base over, and hold it with one hand on the black/white plastic, and the other on the clear plastic tab that goes out from the side. Gently twist the two apart, with the black/white plastic moving in a clockwise direction (pretty obvious when you look at how they come together on the bottom). That's it. You can lift up the clear plastic bottom then, and disassemble the figure.

Thanks! It did seem pretty obvious indeed, but, well, I guess I didn't look good enough! Thanks again!
