Bruce Willis has already been immortalized on film as the one and only John McClane, but now he's finally been immortalized as a statue to cement his action icon status. And it's edible. Just in time for Valentine's Day, a giant chocolate replica of Willis was unveiled during a "Good Day to Die Hard" promotional event in Japan on Wednesday.

Yippee kay-yay! Yay! Yaaaaay! Japanese people are seriously the best. Ever.
Just take a good look at what went down in the Land of the Rising Sun during promotions for "A Good Day to Die Hard" (which there translates into "Die Hard The Last Day," apparently) this week.
No, Valentine's Day has not corroded your eyeballs into seeing everything turned sickly sweet. That is an actual chocolate mold of John McClane, 'cause why the hell not?
While Bruce Willis himself was not on hand for the film debuting festivities, his edible, life-sized cocoa doppelganger was there with a massive milky gun at the ready. Frankly, Willis has never looked so yummy.
As if this weren't enough awesomeness for one day, K1 fighter Nobuaki Kakuda also traipsed along dressed up in the familiar tattered threads of the "Die Hard" hero, walked barefoot on a platter of hopefully fake glass and bristled...

If you want to get something promoted in Japan, forget about posters and life-sized cardboard cutouts. What.s the best way you can think of to promote A Good Day to Die Hard? Putting the film.s image on an oily sleeveless wife beater? Releasing a bald plush doll that says .Yippee kay-yay, motherfucker?. (Since the fifth film reverts back to its R-rating and all.) How about just getting Bruce Willis to show up and say a few words about the film? Those ideas are worthless, puny American. Eiga presents to you .Chocolate John McClane. created to promote the film, as translated in Japanese Die Hard The Last Day. I never thought I would say that Bruce Willis looked delicious without immediately having to renege on my words. The most badass piece of chocolate in history didn.t come to the event alone, of course. K1 fighter Nobuaki Kakuda, who...
