I think SX may be the better looking of the two overall, but the fact that the reviewer comments multiple times about how much more solid zeta seems to be (in multiple ways) makes me lean towards that one. I just REALLY wish they had done a better job with the tips of the wings, since they are not angled properly and look very simplistic compared to the rest.

 

This is the final product. So I think they will fix the wings. Meanwhile, I bite SX 

 

Looking at that they have sorted the cockpit windows out as well.

 

I’m going with Zeta Toys I think. Everything looks better except the hands and the wings. Plus some paint and markings.

 

Yeah looks a bit better but if we're being picky (which we can be since we have options) I like the look of the SX wings a lot more in general. Zeta seems to be the better figure overall whereas SX seems to be the better display piece. At least that's my understanding given the information we have so far on both. I would love to have both in hand to compare! But I need to start limiting my spending so I won't be getting either ATM.

 

True, wings looks much better on BMB in bot mode whereas Zeta’s one is serviceable. To me the main body is the reason I prefer zeta. The torso looks solid, he has a crotch, legs look powerful, back is clean and the entire torso is positioned correctly unlike BMB where the entire torso is positioned too low resulting in the crotch piece being crushed ( though it results in the face being more visible ). I can’t wait for more comparisons.

I’m really liking what I’m seeing so far. Missiles to kill him with is integrated into the arms ( it flips out just like in the movie ) and the flight stand for the posing is a huge plus for me. I need them to improve the paint and plastic color though. BMB looks much better despite the overdone weathering.

 

これは大切！

I just watched the Sun of the Empire video, and I actually don't get the reviewer's gripe about the Zeta version being difficult to transform. It was pretty quick and painless. Then again, maybe the reviewer went too much into detail on the transformation. The darn review was 60 minutes long.

 

so.. my main issue with the Zeta figure is that the wimgs look kinda strange.. but it looks like you should be able to tilt the wing tips a bit more to make it look a bit less broken. Has anyone done that yet?

 

笑　確かに！

 

Final one will do that and have panels fold down to help. Non of the review samples had this change yet tho.

 

I don't usually care about extras that much, but the stand that works for both him and Bee in bot mode, plus the flipout missiles, just put it over the top. Preordered yesterday.

 

They should make these parts of the wings fold in when in robot mode so it shapes more like the 3A and Thunder Warrior wings

 

Is there anywhere where they said that? I already ordered the SX/BMB BW, but I'm really tempted to switch over

 

I've had zeta on PO at ShowZ since it was put up, just paid for the SX too.. might be a while till I have them both in hand but I will post my opinions here when I do!

 

Zeta confirmed that in their weibo.

 

Thanks.

Now we can see clearly just the right amount of weathering used
