Fanstoys Goose (Skydive)

[@silentlyjudging]

Whenever life gets heavy I just imagine bobby slapping tiger tracks down next to the situation for scale

[@josephengland6404]

So hang on. There’s an aerialbot who is silver and has lightning bolts on his wings and he’s not the one named Silverbolt?

[@optimuscprime]

"Talk to me Goose!" " Goodness Gracious Great balls of Fire!"

[@THEWATCHERISLOOKING]

This really makes me want to get 2 sets on both FT combiners. I'm liking this.

[@dominicfeliciano9462]

Name: Skydive. Faction: Autobot. Occupation: air warfare strategist. Vehicle mode: F-16 falcon. Subgroup: Aerialbots. Motto:” Only by studying the past can we win the present.”

[@thedistracti0n993]

I love it, But I still think a flight stand would have been great.

[@THEWATCHERISLOOKING]

If Fanstoys comes out with a seeker mold with this ingenuity. The others will be obsolete and sold. I would probably buy all the colors like a dummy.

[@williamkious5349]

That alt mode is gorgeous! It's the least obtrusive Arialbot under body kibble I've ever seen. If the whole team shapes up like this... Great googly moogly!

[@iamtheomnimonkey]

It would have been nice to see him next to the Zeta version.

[@PaulSpurgeon]

Paik did that. The Zeta is hilariously terrible next to Fans Toys.

[@AgtWashingtub]

Oddly enough, some of my favorite stuff is the "Solid Unit" time lapse sequences. THey never go on quite long enough for me.

[@Sh3ba5843]

I love the jet mode, the paint job is fantastic.

[@gunslin33able]

Great review Bobby the paint job is outstanding I looking forward for mines to come

[@chojinacd]

Lol, enjoyable FT transformation? That's a first! 👍🏼😂. I would have liked a faceoff with zeta, but it might be more efficiënt when every bot and combine mode is done. Definate buy for me 🤗👏🏼

[@suprasport9118]

He looks absolutely fantastic! I don't understand why now certain figures have the single skirt piece. I mean why?🤔 As always Great review!

[@frankielawless]

I thought mavericks transformation was pretty smooth, you had the easiest looking transformation I had seen. But this guy does look amazing in both modes even with its shortcomings . can't wait to get him.

[@robin2thek]

Bobby I love your videos! Just wanted you to know. Keep up the awesome job!

[@mark4flair376]

He's got to go all the way around the block to get the left side waist swivel mack. Other than that he looks pretty money.

[@JasonSawyer]

For me, I prefer the backpack wing being down if they couldn't make it an either/or option - shelf space is important, man! BTW, mine came with the wings in the right config as well. Damn shame about that back panel killing the waist, maybe they felt rushed and said "screw it, put it out."

[@portudork]

I can't agree more on the transformation. If they keep this shit up they will have burst through the last barrier to greatness they were struggling with. I hope the further limb bots are this stress-free and fun!

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

I'm behind on all FT combiners, I got to cut some corners and buy all 4 (2 cars and 2 plains) because they are gorgeous. I love this one in particular, thanks for the review Mr. Skullface.

[@blazingmewtwo]

Nice figure Can’t wait to get him

[@stormriderx4460]

The bot looks great from the front but the back is a little obnoxious. Like you said, they missed the iconic feature on his backpack. It feels like FT designs their figures to look good on shelves first.

[@Sunstreaker2k5]

Out of curiosity , you mentioned in a vid last year when looking at the preview images of it that you thought Zeta would pull off the jet mode better. Do you still feel that way after having it in hand? I don't dislike the Zeta Aerialbots, but what I've seen of Fans Toys they look superior in virtually every area except price.

[@polarisrustinpeace1797]

Looks incredible like typical Faaanns Toyyys! Great job on the review. Like typical Mr. Skullface. Great to see you're still having fun doing this after all these years. Thank you, Sir.

[@Deceptimatrix]

Shout out to Juicy J for the "one more again" lol

[@sgt.bumblbeer]

good to go - so to speak. The pain(t) is insane... cheers, looks very G1ish!

[@michaelsmiley15]

What are the best things about the original G1 line was they were very simple easy to transform but when it came to the aerial bots and one to other combine I don't remember and they were mostly die cast metal and add Unbeknownst to everyone at that time tonka I believe it was tonka finance the line they were covered with all kins of lead based paint and just had way too much lead in the die cast metal pieces I don't know of anyone actually getting sick but if you compare the regulations today of those of 35 years ago it's not even close to being the same

[@getonmanuttz]

Thanks for the consistent content!

[@DolkkarToyznstuff]

Good looking figure to be sure and excellently reviewed as always! Thanks for taking the time.

[@DJ--ALLDAY]

Yo Bobby (last o.g. voice) 1st reaction 2 vid - I got "GOOSEBUMPS BABY"...

[@jasonl2158]

QC 21 for me too. Cool beans.

[@EvilCerealBoX]

The backpack can be turned into a minijet fairly easy from what I've seen. Its just not the "official" transformation.

[@blazingmewtwo]

What would that look like exactly? I’d love to know

[@EvilCerealBoX]

@@blazingmewtwo Yeah nevermind. I was watching Paik's live opening of this and he had started to transform it with a minijet backpack but the wings won't clip in fully extended. They would only clip in while folded in bot mode. I swear I had originally seen it completed. May be the pain meds are messing with me. Sorry.

[@blazingmewtwo]

EvilCerealBoX it’s fine No worries

[@DJ--ALLDAY]

😃WTH😃 @ 5:03. "To the LEFT my brother to the LEFT, we coming from the EAST SIDE" (S.F.P - Want this party started) What's up with that ???Lol

[@guilleg2305]

so, how it looks with zeta?

[@BadLamprey]

It seems a really strange decision to have forsaken the iconic aerielbot mini-jet backpack when that sacrifice doesn't seem to have bought them anything. Like it doesn't improve the robot mode or the jet mode or combined mode stability. Dude still winds up with a folded up jet on his back, it's just folded up wrong for no apparent reason.

[@julito32]

It'd be interesting to se what the combined mode looks like because that iconic "look" is a big part of Superion's look too.

[@lefkadapao13]

Talk to me Goose 😀😊

[@rogerkloepfer1779]

TMan said this figure was "plasticky," especially around the wings and chest...he was disappointed that the plastic wasn't up to Fanstoys standard. What do you think about that? Is the plastic quality in line with other Fanstoys figures?

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Roger Kloepfer the plastic is lighter on the back pack assembly so that it doesn’t make the figure too back heavy. Extremely smart and calculated move on fanstoys part.

[@rogerkloepfer1779]

@@MythsAndHeroes ...I guess Fanstoys is waiting for the last limb release to give us the combiner parts? I still don't see any way this is going to connect to Maverick. Hopefully we see a release right close to the release of Top Gun II! Mine is in the mail from BBTS. I am committed to this whole set and to their Stunticons (Spoiler is my favorite Fanstoys product to date, BTW. A true work of art and fine craftsmanship, in my opinion.)

[@THEWATCHERISLOOKING]

I wonder if they will make a box set. What re colors with they be.

[@cameronmoriarty3313]

It is still stupid, and I'm 100% certain there was a better option, but I've seen someone suggest the Waist Swivel limitation is for the leg mode. The way to tell whether that theory has any water (no matter how stupid it is) is if Air Raid ends up limited in the opposite direction.

[@cameronmoriarty3313]

Even the problem of separating the backpack is much better once you know what you are doing and where to separate it.

[@Casey-ez2ko]

“I can’t go left Jerry!”

[@DoctorSquiddy]

I am 100% with you on the metallic eyes! I have been using a metallic nail polish on my recent figs and it looks factory. At least the eyes are easy enough to separate from the rest of the face...

[@jjbarrosjr]

Hey Bobby, is it me or has fanstoys named all of their aerialbots after the pilots of Top Gun?

[@poloskier1967]

That is exactly what they did.

[@EvilCerealBoX]

And stunticons are named after famous show cars. Ie Smokey and the Bandit. Magnum PI. Etc.

[@poloskier1967]

@@EvilCerealBoX Which set.

[@EvilCerealBoX]

FT but disregard. Seems more like they were just going with famous movie related car names. IE Wildrider is Magnum. Similar enough Ferrari alt mode to Magnum PI.

[@GhostRider-870]

Nah. Pure coincidence.

[@jayvan4353]

Shouldn't Goose be an F14 Tomcat?

[@IsaidQUIETnHERE]

Do that one more again?...I like it.

[@lonewolf-qs7kk]

Duck duck goose is he the right masterpiece for you

[@michaelbird]

I wonder if the waist swivel issue is related to the combined mode somehow. It is odd, for sure.

[@schlitzy-1031]

Great review! Cant wait to get mine! I watched the 4 dummies xmas video and afterward I hit the like button and it said the video didn't exist. Made me laugh. So here's my like for the four dummies video. Now clicking on the video says its private. Sorry if I saw something I shouldn't have. 🤣

[@danielochoa4905]

How loose is your goose :p ?

[@JimmyHauser]

I have no use for waist swivel and ab crunches. Still don’t understand why a robot needs them. So I don’t care about that. But I agree 100% about that backpack. They dropped the ball big time. That’s an iconic aerialbot feature, and they didn’t get it right. (Zeta did) And, I’m still waiting for an aerialbot jet mode that doesn’t look it has a folded up robot welded to the underside. I resign myself to be waiting forever.

[@samthompson2568]

Shout out to QC01!!!

[@bluemajiic1979]

I got QC 33

[@nobleyoung4488]

✌️😮✌️💀✈️

[@astartespete]

The waist swivel is just so dumb, especially when the rest of the figure is good or better. I actually prefer the wings folded on the inside in bot mode, looks cleaner to me and keeps them out of the way of the arms. I disagree on the tail fin in bot mode tho, iconic or not i don't need that taking up my shelf space which is getting very limited. Deco wise its gorgeous, especially in alt mode.

[@eastjm80]

He’s not awful but this is a bit of a fans toys flop

[@aaronmauer7225]

From watching the review it doesn’t feel like a flop to me.

[@DetectiveBarricade]

It's hard to say that this is a flop when this figure is only the second entry in Fans Toys' Superion... however the hell it's supposed to form up.

[@existentialismtyrant5722]

Seriously who’s going to pose them in individual bots?

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Existentialism Tyrant me.
