Action Figure became an instant advertising classic and the most important commercial of the 1998 Ventura for Governor campaign-- what many observers consider to be the biggest upset in U.S. political history. After the commercial aired there was a flood of calls to TV stations and toy stores from parents looking for the nonexistent Ventura action figure toy, and the ad influenced commercial marketing, including a famous Federal Express ad. After his election, Ventura formed a charitable organization to manufacture the action figures and other merchandise, donating all of the proceeds from sales to Minnesota-based charities.

Oh god, I love that you can see the indent in the desk where it has no doubt been hit with that tiny plastic fist so many times.

Was this recorded on Type-C? I believe this ad was edited on the Sony decks that currently live in the back room of the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting in St Louis Park, MN.
