TFCon 2015 is officially under way and one of the many limited edition figures available in the room right now is a Diaclone inspired deco for Fansproject’s LER-03 Volar! Volar is rocking a brighter blue chest, metallic painted wings and beak, and comes with his trusty driver similar to past exclusive LER releases. We’ve done up a gallery showing him off along with other Fansproject releases – Function X0 Code (alt deco), Function X7 Combes Robin, and Function X6 Knight. All four of these will be available on FPCore.com exclusively in North America after the show. Check em out after the break!
In addition to our pics, check out a video from Peaugh below!

I picked all of them up just a month or so ago, guess I should've waited.

He's on sale for $29.99 for Black Friday.

I prefer balljoints in general because of the free range of motion. It's been some time so I can't remember if they were lose or not but if they were I'm sure I fixed them with a coat of polish. Volar itself is a shining example of why ratchets shouldn't have been implemented on these in the first place as it's literally what keeps him from being my favorite swoop ever.

Oh? I thought they were super loose which is why Volar came with the fix, are they better on the Diaclone version?
Kuma Style
Yes. I prefer the balljoints so I can't agree in it being a problem but yes; that is what you would have.
Toolala
Damn. So if I wanted to buy all the TFcon dinos I would be left with a balljointed Columpio?
Kuma Style
Pretty sure that was a normal release deal.
Toolala
Can anyone confirm or deny if this version comes with the Columpio hip replacements as well? or is that just the normal release?

Mine arrived this weekend. Looks nice, and I got KFC Remix from TFSOURCE.COM too.

I was playing around with him this weekend after putting on some Reprolabels. Wish there was just another click. Even a shapeways part I'd get.

Anyone want to sell their Diaclone driver?
FCatCH76
Same here, although I do have the other retail dinobots. Here's to hoping the other convention exclusives go on sale.

He really is a cool looking figure.
I'm glad I finally caved on him last weekend.

I had to jump on this fig at 60$. It doesn't fit with anything in my collection, but its just so shiny and I like the design aesthetic. Total impulse item, as I never even looked at it before the sale.
Scaleface
I wish I had gotten Knight. It went back up to full price now. Madlaw still has a small discount, but I want Knight for my Masterforce shelf.
Robogeek28
Actually I meant two FP exclusives in a row.
Scaleface
Well, TFSource has been posting sales on the weekends. This weekend was Volar, last weekend was Knight. Before that they reduced the price of Spinout to half price for a weekend, before that Warbotron Sly Strike was half price for a weekend….
Kuma Style
They should have just been ball jointed instead. Hip ratchets generally suck unless a figure is especially weighty.
Robogeek28
I'm starting to notice a pattern here.

Kinda bummed that they never did release better hip joint ratchets for this figure. The ratchets are so widely spaced, he can only hold like two poses.
