    i'm not sure how Fanstoys will top this guy. i mean, Scoria was great, had some issues, but a great figure.

    Soar is everything i would want in a perfect Swoop... but how will Sever top this?


    my mind boggles.

    The red version looks good, but unlike toy version of Scoria I feel no compulsion to get this. Blue version all the way for me.

    I really didn't like scoria (mainly due to the head and face sculpt) but blue Swoop is fantastic and I'd highly recommend it after holding one today.

    I think he looks awesome, ambitron, so sure you won't regret your purchase once he arrives! I almost was tempted when I saw these new pics... but not quite. It's too slippery a road for me, as I know if I cave on one of the toy versions, then it will lead to all five of them eventually, so no dice. I shall remain happy with my blue Soar, and (hopefully) viewing a few pics of your red one when he arrives. :) 

    Maybe he wont... but I'm quietly confident that Sludge will. :D 

    Masterpiece Sludge. It's happening, folks. Soon.

    Yeah, red Swoop looks incredible. I'm in for toon accurate blue but red looks really, really slick.

    Hmm... I was hoping that the shoulders would be black instead of dark grey. Little disappointed on that note, but I'm still in for the toy version.

    I'll keep my paintbrush handy though, just in case. I painted my Scoria's legs and head black, why not Soar?

    I got mine on Friday and absolutely LOVE this figure! The only thing I had an issue with was the left leg in dino mode. The leg was super loose and drops down when on the display stand. The screw was really tight but the leg was still loose for what ever reason. I'll be picking up some Future next time I'm at the store.

    Mine arrived too - and wow, what a great figure!
    Intuitive yet clever transformation, both modes nail the aesthetics, and it is difficult to find dynamic poses this guy can NOT do. The twistable, double-jointed knees, together with very good feet & ankles help a lot, of course. Very impressed.

    I did some filing on the golden leg connectors, just in case, and will put some lubricant in the shoulder - but these are easy fixes on a really good figure.

    Good to hear Soar is meeting expectations! Can anyone with the Red version confirm it comes with the gold beak? Would like to see how that looks! Thanks in advance

    Second times the charm. Was so hoping for toy face. Dr. Wu how about a visor?

    Awesome pics! Love it! But I hate this site! I'm trying to save money but everytime I get on this site I see all these awesome pics and it makes me buy! I was really trying to stay away from buying Soar...

    Nice. Ballast Point brews some great beers. Sculpin IPA is exceptional.
