In the world of toys, this is the toy of all toys. May as well take any cheapo HobbyKing flying wing and make wingtip triangles for it so it can sit nose pointed to the sky.
As for the Osprey, I would consider the Banana offering. It's just too expensive for what you get and it looks like it even has the flight controller out of the Eflite Convergence. Well, probably a clone of a clone of a clone anyway. It sounds and does what my Convergence does.

Well, for guys like most of us here that is not our thing. Youngsters will think it's really cool and they will sell to that market. I even have a workmate in his 30's that thinks things like that are pretty cool so not just the really young will be drawn to them. It may be the future for a lot of folks for RC. I can only guess Horizon is tapping that market niche. Who knows, when I was a teenager and they looked like The Thunderbirds, Fireball XL5 or Space 2000 I might have bought one.

yea after getting the convergence I will not get anything like this again unless it is the Osprey and a proven design. This thing here is a piece of work for sure. Airhogs had something like this it was called the switch. My nephew had one with the prop guard on it as well never flew. It would hover but as soon as you went and did the transition fell out of the sky. I am sure this will fly but so ugly.

Young kids and old kid RC'ers have widely ranging ideas of what is "fun" or interesting. Some are thrilled cobbling simple inexpensive sport models from sheet foam or balsa. Some get their kicks building super detailed intricate and expensive scale models, some buy expensive ready-made sailplanes from Europe and enjoy glider competition. Some seem to want to buy the foamie warbird model of the month, don't know where they store 'em. I think that those who have never built and flown a model that they have built, tweaked and covered with their own two hands will never experience the full thrill of a maiden flight.

Before he answers (if he answers), I think these guys manufactures rc planes for LX retailers, Banana Hobby (BlitzRCWorks) and several models for HobbyKing (Durafly and others). I wouldn't be all that surprised if they were behind Avios production for HobbyKing. I could be dead wrong but it's all a guess anyway.
