Insanely beautiful. By the way, "Volar" it's spanish for "[to] Fly". That was one great and funny review, bro. Cheers!

[@micahzook2626]

Thanks for another great review Vangelus! I am so glad that this isn't just another block with wings and little feet that we've come to associate with Swoop. I love that they tried for something more unique. Can't wait for this figure!

[@AcanLord]

i always thought it was funny that swoop was a dinobot since Pterosaurs are not dinosaurs at all.

[@GWolfV3]

AcanLord Eh. Neither is 2/3 of Magmatron.

[@Astronopolis]

And tyrannosaurs don't drag their tails and brachiosaurus isn't even a thing, but this is 1980's dinosaurs

[@ltranc]

Brachiosaurus is a thing. Brontosaurus is mostly Camarasaurus(did I spell that right?) and Apatosaurus combined.

[@GWolfV3]

If it was a hippo it'd work. Although both bulls and rhinos will eat birds.

[@Astronopolis]

ltranc thanks for the correction, my dinosaur verbiage is not what it once was

[@melvinchinault9832]

This is the best figure out of this line so far.

[@SodaOgre]

Ya know... I think I really like this. I get what you're saying about the legs, but I also agree that it's a nice change from the norm. Wouldn't mind picking one of these up some day.

[@SuperRockShot]

I love this guy, I loved the last 2 FP dinos! I can't wait to get this!

[@darrinmckinley9795]

U'll be happy to know that fansproject is version of Snarl is coming out next year in January 2018. :-)

[@defaultname4603]

Great review, and the figure looks awesome. Looking forward to having it in hand. I'm gonna give this a mention in this week's news also :)

[@TMan978]

I wish he was Blue but he looks cool to me.

[@GeneralRasp]

Excited to get this guy soon! I have enjoyed the last two releases and was worried Volar was going to be delay like Cubar was. Any idea when the web stores will be getting their stocks? Thanks for the review!!

[@waltergreenjr8385]

I might get him

[@KRiderMan1248]

when are we going to get some Beast Wars figures from fans projects? ='(

[@tartatovsky]

Never

[@FPrimusUnicron]

the only one from fp dinobots i like but i really do like it, i need it

[@leirameirarc]

I got the blue Volar and his companion does not transform, there is no display stand and no extra hips or Pterosaur head... :/

[@mechanwhal6590]

i hope someone does a feathered grimlock someday

[@MalWave]

I hope TFcon gets this guy as a con exclusive. I may be tempted...

[@shuothewildfire]

I generally display in botmode, so I'm liking the look a lot. Is Van Damme grade patented? I think I might use that.

[@cannonfodder4000]

Doesn't AOE Strafe's articulation allow him to stand up like that in alt mode? The toy was directly based off the concept art, which had him standing in pterodactyl mode.

[@themarkktv]

I just transformed mine to check and... yes, kind of.

[@starwarrior1227]

Who's Mikey? Good review btw...

[@OptionZero]

Isn't de-transforming the same as transforming?

[@callumcrane241]

I heard this came with a blue torso.

[@GWolfV3]

The technical term is Flappydactyl

[@toyhoarder4895]

Volar's elbow joint cannot support the weight of Velos. Sadly this wasn't shown in the review.

[@nathankimble8031]

did you not notice his elbow very clearly holding up velos at 17:50?

[@TheGrimoiresVoice]

Do you plan on doing a review on Severo?

[@carellicollectables]

Sigh. I was hoping this guy wouldn't be cool so I could just stick with Caelus..... Guess I'm getting two swoops. :P I was kinda hoping you'd show them both off side by side. :-\

[@mosesyao4305]

does it have the replacement part for columpio's waist?

[@guccigustavo5730]

Yes it does

[@vine1313]

So any plans on reviewing LER-2?

[@TheForgotenStef30000]

It reminds more of IDW Swoop XD

[@garzilla33]

Does this come with replacement hips for Columpio?

[@guccigustavo5730]

Yes it does

[@mechanwhal6590]

Someone should do a feathered version of Dinobot.

[@Ronin4375]

Vangelus, did yours come with replacement hips for Columpio?

[@Godravage]

+Ronin4375 Mine did.

[@matdonlod]

This Losr Exo Realm series is a combiner right? can you show the combiner mode?

[@GixxerDQ]

No, the Fansproject's Lost Exo Realm aren't a combiner. Only the GCreation's Shuraking and the ToyWorld's Dinobots combines.

[@horizon712]

what was the blue and yellow one

[@horizon712]

***** thank you, friend

[@MultiTexasstar]

Wait John Claude Van Damme or, Rob Van Dam?

[@chaselee7240]

Fansproject should make a dinobot combiner

[@DMSL2007]

Great figure, but i don't like the teeth. Pteranodon means winged and toothless. It is also not a Dinosaur, but a flying reptile.

[@GWolfV3]

Ray's Reviews Tell all of these things to Jurassic World

[@ltranc]

LOL MICHAEL XD

[@GWolfV3]

They do actually. In toy form. They've included the teeth based on the JP3 model. And I never said pterosaurs were dinosaurs. I said dinosaurs are flying reptiles. The first dinosaurs capable of gliding show up in the Middle Jurassic with Anchiornis, to be followed by animals such as Archaeopteryx. In the Cretaceous you have animals like Microraptor and Sinornithosaurus which have a unique four winged structure. I'm a a palaeontologist. Actually, I'm a pterosaur specialist.

[@GWolfV3]

the upcoming toy raptordash.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/jurassic-world-toys-4.jpg

[@GWolfV3]

well that's an action feature. JP3 and JW have it sculpted it rather than pull out. Pretty crappy toyline overall tbh. No where near the old level. Shame, 2011 had some AWESOME new molds

[@wampasully7797]

I think this thing looks straight up terrible in all modes. So glad I bought into the Planet X dinobots instead of these ones.

[@thepudgyninja]

I think the robot mode looks nice, but the transformation looks pretty boring and the dino mode is straight-up ugly.

[@jettthespeeddemon3884]

Pterosaurs. They’re just flying reptiles. Pterosaurs aren’t dinosaurs.

[@jiidee]

Too little, too late for me. The 1st two were hude disappointments for me. I won't be touching any future ones no matter how much they improve. *drop mic*

[@debramajor1392]

It's pronounced pterodactyl

[@tahumphreys6543]

69

[@4sakend1]

please stop mistreating your figures.

[@heli88]

Vangelus, I love you, but the "something something" jokes are getting really old. You need a new go-to line.

[@Astronopolis]

Wtf is "buttery" as it applies to joints? Smooth and fatty? I know you're a bigger fella but c'mon

[@Kreevox]

It's Vangelus' way of saying a it's a soft ratchet.
