    HI.

    It seems ebay selller haoyun_53 is a fake and ships to a non-existing address so you don't get anything. I think seller shwi790 is the same. Do not butly from them!! Can someone recommend a seller that DOES ship Zeta EX05 Alcy?

    I think Zeta should have released the rear end of the car mode as an optional add on. It could be used as a shield in robot mode, much like that custom of Generations Arcee a while back.

    I think what @fleshling did here was brilliant. It completed the figure for me.

    Well if you get rid off the two fensee pieces from the back pack you could repaint this in night bird colors assuming you find a replacement head or just fan mod the head to look like night bird

    I think the best mod up-to-now is just use the head from POTP Elita-one combiner head to become a MP scale Elita-one, I will do this once I have a better Arcee.

    Not bad the reasoning behind my post was her fenders on the back pack are not the most stable and repaint gives her the whole silver paint so I'm like that could be a good night bird repaint

    Did they resize her head? That was my main complaint about her bot mode.

    Cancelled my order for her as i hated the metallic pink they had showing...

    Will probably be in (come back) for whatever repaint they will do down the line, or even if they do a more none metallic pink like FT / Ocular Max / New Zeta ones.

    Man, IF only they had invested in improving on the face/head.... AND provide alternate expressions (like happy face / glasses face / etc..), and to a lesser degree, closed fists. I would much prefer this to the Takara one that has so much kibble that makes it hard to add for the asking price.

    Yeah, looking at the above pics closer now you can tell the head is still too small. Compare it with her shoulders and those man hands she's peeking through.

    IT's a shame cause I think neck down she's the best Arcee (alt mode is the worst, obviously), and her head isn't that bad, it's just too small, and it throws everything else off.

    They should invest in making a rear car portion that turns into a shield or something.

    Totally agree. And I kind of give up on Zeta will improve on this mold, so using the POTP Elita-1 head on this will be the best solution, at least it will be a good looking MP scale Elita-1.
    The below pic is from GR1ML0CK in TW Leia thread.
