Quick answer
If you want a single, iconic SD figure with a unique fusion design, go with the Sangoku Soketsuden Zhao Yun 00. If you prefer a two-pack with a classic SD Gundam and a separate beast companion for more display variety, choose the set that includes Bilongqu.
What makes each kit stand out
The Sangoku Soketsuden Zhao Yun 00 is a standalone SD figure that combines the legendary warrior Zhao Yun with the Gundam 00 aesthetic. It's designed for collectors who want a single, detailed display piece or a character for imaginative play. The Bilongqu figure is a separate model that pairs with Zhao Yun 00 in the same set, offering a larger companion piece—a dragon-like beast—that adds a different silhouette and play value.
Because the set includes both figures, you get more physical content for a modest price. However, if you only care about the humanoid SD Gundam, the extra beast may feel like surplus. The trade-off is between a focused single character versus a broader, more varied display.
Build and display considerations
Both figures are SD (Super Deformed) kits, meaning they have chibi proportions and simple assembly—no painting or glue required. The Zhao Yun 00 figure has a more traditional Gundam silhouette with a cape and lance, while Bilongqu is a four-legged beast with wings. This means the two figures occupy different visual space: Zhao Yun 00 is roughly the size of a standard SD Gundam, while Bilongqu is longer and wider.
If you have limited shelf space, the Zhao Yun 00 alone is easier to fit. The Bilongqu figure requires more horizontal room. On the other hand, the pair together creates a dynamic scene that a single figure cannot match.
Note that the set does not include a stand or display base, so you may need to purchase one separately if you want to pose Bilongqu in a flying stance.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Single figure focus: If you want a single, self-contained SD Gundam with a unique warrior theme, the Zhao Yun 00 figure alone delivers. You get a complete character without extra pieces.
- Two-figure set variety: The full set gives you both Zhao Yun 00 and Bilongqu, offering a larger display with two very different models. This is ideal if you enjoy creating scenes or want more play options. Check your shelf space: Bilongqu is wider than a standard SD Gundam.
- Price vs content: At a catalog price of USD 8.53 (compared to USD 13.99), the set is affordable for two figures. However, if you only plan to build one, a single SD kit elsewhere might cost less. Consider whether you will actually build and display both figures to get the best value.
