    Which upgrade kit are you going to pick up?

    EDIT: SXS's kit comes with the shoulder fix, while Dr. Wu's will come with multiple faces.

    Just to clarify, SXS's version includes the shoulder fix. Dr. Wu's doesn't, but does have swapable faces.

    SXS. There's shoulder fixes and the glorious lack of multiple faces.

    ^The smaller heads of both upgrades will fix the nosecone issue.

    Maybe you should put pictures of both in this poll so people know what you are talking about?

    Here is the SXS "Design for Generations Blitzwing", which was just released. It's a head/neck, rifle, missiles and shoulder fixes.

    Here is the Dr. Wu Bitz product, which is still a prototype. So far it's just a head and gun, but we don't know what's in the final design...

    ^I don't know. I think they lock his shoulders into place or something.

    I'm ALL for the Dr. Wu product... but ONLY if they also include a shoulder fix. This figure is junk to me unless that gets remedied.

    I'm getting SXS. Yeah, it's REALLY lame someone there can't colour match, but Blitz really needs that shoulder fix.

    SXS wins so far because of the shoulder fix. I'm not crazy about how their purple plastic doesn't quite match the stock purple on the BW figure, however. Dr. Wu does make good weapon add-ons but his face sculpts aren't the best, if past experience tells us.

    does the SXS version have a ball joint head, like Dr Wu does?

    Really like a head being able to do more than side to side.

    ^You can try to commission someone to make a solid nosecone on Shapeways (If you can paint). I can't paint so these two kits are my solutions.
