www.dalong.net in the pg sections... by the way i build the kit , and the only problem i find in overall was the leg conectors on the body, they have polycaps in rubber, but in the time these dont hold the weight of the boddy so well and go backwards, so you need to place a stand behing or a wall...at least thats happen with mine

If you're after the "PG Experience", that is to say, an intense complicated, tons of work project, the Zeta is your kit. The finished figure has its flaws. The shoulder joints won't support the weapons or the shield. What daikumaryu said is also true. The hip joints are weak and the figure tends to flop. What's worse, it flops slowly. You just look at it one day and notice it's about to fall over, if it hasn't already taken a shelf dive. The lights are difficult, and they all seem to just crap out after a while, especially the wingtip lights. On the plus side, it does do a perfect transformation, and the Waverider mode is solid as a brick. On the minus side, unless you really like to mess with a fiddly difficult complicated transformation sequence, you won't transform the thing more than once. You tend to say, "yeah, I'll mess with it some day." But you never do. It's just too much hassle. Zeta Gundam IMHO: As a fun project, it gets a ten out of ten. As a finished figure it gets a ten out of ten. As an actual functioning display piece, it gets a seven out of ten.

Thanks for all your input guys. I guess the PG strike gundam is still the best thus far.

well for me the best perfect grade its........the MK-II normal colors version...its solid, super very articulated and comes with a toons of accesories (well at least more that the zeta,striker and wind zero custom) its a very solid figure , and they have a very solid desing..i truly recomened you.

JWM To solve this issue, buy two and leave one in waverider mode ;D Hah, but I totally agree with JWM. Very unstable.
