It’s an Airwolf Baby

by Paul

You know, some days I think I’m all teh awesome toy blogging guy and other times I wonder if I’m even qualified to write this thing. While cruising around for pics of the 25th Anniversary G.I. Joe single carded figures on BigBadToyStore.com, I ran across a freaking awesome Japanese import. Behold, the glory of Airwolf:

How have I missed this? These die-cast models are a couple of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. At the risk of being completely redundant, I’d say that they are totally Airwolf. Unfortunately, the price range of eighty five bucks is a little high for me at this time. Still, I’m content in the knowledge that this exists much like I don’t need to own a precious work of art, rather I’m happy knowning the world is a better place with it hanging in a museum.

On another note why does Japan get the coolest toys ever based on American cult status movies and television shows? Are they American pop culture conisures or just know kick ass when they see it? In any case for those of you who want a new Airwolf toy bad enough then you’ve now got an option.
