Airwolf
In 2009 Protozoic.com voted on what is now considered to be the OFFICIAL Top 10 RC Videos. Included in the list was the RC Airwolf replica video.
This might be the ad for the Airwolf copter, scanned from Excalibur #3, published in Dec. 1988.
Excalibur #4, published in January of 1989, would contain an ad for the Top Gun jet.
Freedom Stick
This advertisement is from the Marvel comic Excalibur #1, published in October of 1988. I remember another controller like this liscenced by Nintendo, but I do not remember the Camerica wireless version. The Freedom Stick was approved by the U.S. National Video Game Team. I wasn’t aware we had one… but whatever. In this video Donn might be using the Freedom Stick with his Gradius tip.

LJ’s Trip, Episode 4 – The Hands of Time
In episode 4 of LJ’s Trip LJ is been summoned by Mr. Archer, Producer in the Chicken and Breasts film division at Trippers Inc. It seems that some of LJ’S shenanigans and tomfoolery has not gone unnoticed! And Mr. Tom Foolery is not happy! It seems that a mysterious ressurectee has invaded the time trip-line that LJ has so carefully butt-tickled into nonsense. This foe threatens to drill LJ a new one, a BIG new one, and to cyborgize his neander-baby!

LJ’s Trip, Episode 3 — The Horrible Houdini
In Episode 3 of LJ’s Trip, the show’s host, LJ, travels or “trips” back to witness master escapologist Harry Houdini’s final death-defying act. Instead of playing the respectful peanut chomping observer, LJ, played by New York actor Joel Stigliano, engages in footsie sexy time with the lovely Miss Kitty Pinchbottom and stops Houdini’s performance dead by killing him! It was just an episode ago that LJ was seducing cavewomen with his suave come-ons such as, “I like your hair,” and “You’re pretty,” and now he’s added grisly, brutal murder to the list!
The episode takes place in a stylish Steampunk universe where Gray makes a cameo as a Steampunk clock repairman. Episode 3’s steamy design was created by Brunson from his home which was infested by a colony of bats at the time. Not unlike a certain Bruce Wayne, Brunson relied on imaginary wealth, black spray paint, and Morgan Freeman to create his inspired collection.
