Artist's Comments

"With a blast of air the battlefield was practically swept clean as tanks and infantry went flying. What on earth could cause such winds? We soon found out. One of Dr Wily's most powerful Robot Masters appeared, Air Man. So far our land, sea, and especially our air forces are grounded due to this blowhard until we find a way to throw a wrench in to that fan of his."

This figure was made from:

Upper body: Animated Wolvie Colossus sans head with sculpted eyes.
Arms, lower legs: Astro Boy Peace Keeper
Upper legs/waist: Accelerator Suit Snails
Fan/housing: Scratch built styrene sheeting
Fan motor: Nokia cellphone vibration motor
Wind Gust: DCU Red Tornado

After weeks and weeks of this fellow being requested, here he is, Air Man! And yes the fan really spins. You can check it out here: [link] and he's going up on Ebay this Sunday if you want a chance to win him. Just head over to my site, [link] for details.

That's pretty sweet! That's the best "action feature" I've ever seen in a figure! Forget the shooting projectiles this is sweet!

Thus the infamous robot! Too bad GI Joe doesn't have a leaf gun.

I tend to let my mind wander, but one day it didn't come back, and now it is lost.

from the mind of one sick animal who can’t tell the difference and gets stupified!

HIS LEVEL IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Also, fantastic job. He's one of my favorites, and you really hit the mark.

Holy sh-

That's awesome! MUST :+fav:

I do hate to say this though... but he doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the GI Joe styled robot masters. I think it's the eyes. Most if not all the rest used normal Joe heads, no?

Again, I do think it rocks! Don't be mad. >_<

Oh shit, very good eye sculpt there.

Is it possible to give airman's blasted with turbine as well?

How much would one charge for a replication of such a figure?
