By KansasBrawler I’ve been a little obsessed with the vintage Sky Patrol figures ever since I got back into the Joe brand when I was in high school. However, if there was one figure I always thought was a little weak, it was Airwave. His vintage figure just didn’t seem all that impressive. I wasn’t expecting a lot out of

By Past Nastification Imagine taking the rough shape of a stealth bomber and squeezing it down to hold a crew of one. Add on a strange rotating “tail”.
