Airwolf Helicopter Replica Doesn’t Come With Jan-Michael Vincent [Airwolf]

Airwolf Helicopter Replica Doesn’t Come With Jan-Michael Vincent [Airwolf]

Do you still mourn the day the networks took Airwolf off the air for good? Does the thought of flying through the cool mountain skies of the California wilderness, your trusty Bluetick Coonhound Tet at you side, excite you to no end? Me neither (city slicker, present), but that doesn’t mean this Airwolf helicopter replica is any less cool. Sure it doesn’t have an interior, and the chain gun has been suspiciously removed, but it’s got character, and probably still smells like the feathered quaff of Jan-Michael Vincent. That’s Stringfellow Hawke, to you civies. More pics and budget pricing for this hunk of nostalgia after the jump.

That dust is 1980s dust. That means this chopper is a collector’s item, not filthy dirty. Bidding started at about $40,000, and concludes later today.

Four More Casio G-Shocks Round Out 25th Anniversary Collection [Watches]

watch1-300.jpgFour new G-Shocks that weren’t seen at this week’s 25th anniversary party are now being shown off. On top is the GW225E-7, the cream of this crop. It’s ISO 200 meter water resistant and built for divers. It has a timer that logs dives, and memory storage for vital stats like blood type, diver certification card and passport number. It also has a solar battery, but no Multi-Band, and it costs $350. Check out the rest after the jump.

watch4-300.jpgDolphin & Whale: The D&W is inspired by the Dolphin & Whale Eco-Research Network, a group working on environmental protection initiatives. It is translucent with blue highlights to represent the ocean, and it is engraved with the slogan “All Is One” on the back to represent the Network’s feelings on life and nature. It features the solar battery, Multi-Band 5, rust resistance and standard G-Shock features.

watch3-300.jpgGWM5625E-7: This one updates the classic G-Shock design for the 25th anniversary, adding a long-lasting solar battery and Multi-Band 5, which automatically syncs the watch to five time stations around the world using radio waves. It also has five alarms and displays the time for 48 different cities around the world. The GWM5625E-7 goes for $150.

watch2-300.jpgEric Haze Edition: Graffiti artist Eric Haze is the inspiration behind this model, his third signature watch for G-Shock. Haze logos are on the band and backlight of the watch, which is a pretty basic model. It has shock and water resistance, but no solar battery or Multi-Band atomic time sync. At $100, it’s the cheapest of the new line.

Good stuff, G-Shock, and happy 25th birthday to you.
