Air Raider Figure Fan Art

Hey fellow Air Raiders, I just wanted to share some artwork I’ve done recently. We were fortunate in the past couple years to get figure sculpture sheets (done by Ron Rudat!) for several of the figures from both the first year of toys and even the canceled second year. Canceled Tyrant soldier Canceled Tyrant officer……

Air Raiders Figure Art, Part 2

I put up an earlier thread going over the PrePro site and some Air Raiders stuff they had posted. The last piece is the one I’m most excited for. It’s a figure sculpture sheet for the almost forgotten 1988 line of toys. It was drawn by Ron Rudat and dates to November 17, 1986 which……

Air Raiders Licensing Kit, Part 3

Last session was about the beautiful folder the kit came in, today is focused on colored line art for the various vehicles! The images were printed nice and sharp by Hasbro and I scanned them in at a good resolution. They all have basics flat colors but what’s interesting is they actually broke down the……

Air Raiders Licensing Kit

A seller on ebay recently put up licensing kits; essentially a folder filled with line art, color art, and instructions on how to use the Air Raiders logo, toys, packaging and more. I ended up winning the second auction so I hope to have a better breakdown of the items inside, but for now, here’s……

Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities – The Dragonwind

Like an earlier post (found here), I came across a photo of some preproduction box art for the Dragonwind that was sold on ebay back in April, 2014. The original appears to be a painting although it could be colored pencils with some paint highlights too. Initially, I thought it was a different design for……

Early Air Raiders Box Art

Big thanks to airraiders1987 (from the Air Raiders fan site that actually inspired this site) for sharing this pre-production box art photo. Someone had approached him to see if he knew of any potential buyers (the art eventually ended up in the San Diego Comic Con auction). The artwork seem to be more like color……

Second Series Art Commission

I was super excited by the discovery of the canceled second series of Air Raiders toys (discussed here). So much so that replicant01 and I decided to commission some art for the squad officers found in that picture. We had already commissioned some art for the Lords of Wind, the five tyrannical rulers of Airlandia……

Box Inserts

This is a post to archive all the box inserts for the vehicles. They all have Richard Marcej art and a lot of cool info on Airlandia. Thanks to Replicant01 (from LittleRubberGuys.com board) for scanning in these sheets. I have not seen The Deception before this!  

The Lords of the Winds

I love Air Raiders but one of my big regrets is the lack of artwork. There’s the wonderful box art, some poster illustrations and the great box insert pages but that’s about it. Unfortunately the toys didn’t last long enough to expand into lunch boxes, puzzles, magnets and other merchandise that would have required a…

Marcej Art

I posted an interview with Richard Marcej the other day and in addition to getting to chat with him, I got to pick up a black and white book he self-published over 10 years ago titled, My Artwork and Designs at Hasbro, 1983-1989. The book is a short and fun compilation of art and photos……
