Under the Radar: Custom Air Man creation video will make you sad that you suck at creating your own toys
by Bryan Coffee on 10/08/2008 18 comments

Mega Man 2 is probably my all time favorite game. My entire childhood consisted of copious amounts of Mega Man games and toys (even the crappy Rockman toys from Japan that fell apart two hours after unboxing them), but Mega Man 2 will always have a very special place in my heart. To this day I'll go back to my NES and play through some of the Robot Boss levels just to hear the music, especially Air Man's stage. Something about that music made me so pumped and excited, that I didn't mind dying as often as I did in that level (and believe me, that happened A LOT).

That particular fellow in the video above seems to be as big a fan of Air Man as I am, because this God of a man created his own custom Air Man figure, complete with chest plate with a WORKING fan! I have never been so impressed with the amount of passion fans have for their games, and I hope someday we'll see an actual toy of this become available for purchase. Until that time, I'm gonna pop in Mega Man 2, play Air Man's stage, and weep uncontrollably, knowing that I can never be 1/3 as crafty as this guy is.
