“5921 is a decent set overall built from mostly standard pieces. Although there is nothing really special it does include a rather nice minifig, and a bunch of useful standard pieces.”

“This set is very odd-it's not a plane-it's confusing. However, it's very well done. Mike is a teen with a LOT of pimples (or freckles). He has slingshot and vest, and makes for a nice minifigure. The glider is quite nice-it looks odd, yet it makes for a nice flying machine.... More The tree, on the other hand, lacks detail, and could have been better.”

Brickipedia
“The set includes 56 pieces to construct a hang-glider, a tan-coloured Pteranodon, Mike, and some plant life. Mike created the glider to study wildlife around Dino Island and learn more about it. Mike rides on a small, primarily dark grey and black glider. He sits on what... More appears to be a 2x8 plate, with a slanted brick and a small windscreen in front of him.”
