Description

Blue Thunder Helicopter AFA 75 ** POP 1, 2nd Highest Grade, Only 1 Higher ** (Multi Toy, 1983). Based on the Blue Thunder television series, this helicopter from Multi Toy captures the sleek, militarized look of the show's cutting-edge aircraft. A descendant of the movie design that inspired it, the TV version reimagined the high-tech chopper as the centerpiece of weekly aerial action - a blend of tactical hardware and prime-time heroics. With its molded weaponry, detailed cockpit, and fierce silhouette, the toy reflects the era's fascination with airborne technology and law-enforcement innovation. Graded AFA EX+/NM 75, with subgrades of B70 W80 F85, this example holds a population of one at this tier, ranking as the second highest grade known, with only one graded higher. A rare survivor from a short-lived yet memorable television tie-in, the Blue Thunder helicopter remains a standout piece of early-'80s TV action history. For collectors of screen-based vehicles and vintage licensed toys, it embodies the era's bold vision of justice from above - sleek, powerful, and unmistakably ahead of its time.
