This is a WWF Jakks figure From 1997.
I just love this ad and the idea that badass Stone Cold Steve Austin plays with wrestling figures in his spare time.
He’s hilarious “playing” here:
“How’s it going, Vince?”
“Hey, wait just a minute…”
I like how they used actual Vince sound clips in this to re-create the moment.
This just proves my theory that you’re never too old to play with wrestling figures.
And hey, look at that- A Flash Funk figure is also available!
Finally I can book that Flash Funk and Vince McMahon Vs. Stone Cold and Farooq dream tag team match I’ve been dreaming about for all these years!
Sweet!
I loved this commercial when I saw it. It convinced me to make the move from Hasbro to Jakks when it came to figures. Still have a place in my heart for Hasbro, though.
Best wrestling figure commercial ever!
(Besides Iron Shiek telling school kids to get back to class…)
