If Mattel produces a Jesse Ventura figure I think it would be cool to showcase somehow both his professional wrestling career and when he was elected Governor of Minnesota. Ventura could come with 2 heads one with his blonde hair with his signature cocky smug face, the other with his mustache and bald head look when he became governor. They could also package a a different body (a suited Build A Figure type for his governor days) on top of his pink wrestling attire with feather boa as well as sunglasses. I think that this could be an incredible Defining Moment figure as well with all of the accessories that I mentioned above. They could also pack in a Ventura for Governor bumper sticker.   It would be a great way to honor his accomplishments both inside and outside the ring. |

If they do a 2 in 1, it has to be wrestler/announcer.

No chance. Ventura was a commentator by the time wrestling expanded, no way he's getting a premium DM figure. He'd be lucky to get a 0.5 per case basic.

I would be more interested if the figure could double as a commentator.

Holy crap, we don't have a Jesse the bod yet. I didn't even realize that. This is an obvious yes for me. Don't so much need a governor version, but definitely the classic flashy look. But if they decided to make just how the OP described, I'd buy it.

If anything Jesse could be included as a BAF in his pink suit. At least it would be jesse - and quite frankly the greatest color man ever deserves a place wherever...but to ME his announcing gig overshadowed his wrestling gig. Jesse and Vince on tv and Jesse and Gorilla on PPV - NOTHING or NO ONE(s) were better.
(And before anyone JR's the hell out of me - you can keep that over the top silliness. "Oh MY GAWD HE's DEAD!!! HE's DEAD!!!" Please that stuff is just stupid. Yeah JR I'm a TOTAL idiot and believe he's dead... STU-PID. Jesse and Gorilla called the action like a real sport Jr and King called it like over the top entertainment...I just can't stand listening to old JR stuff (from wwwe - not his years of announcing for the other guys) - I feel stupid and embarrassed...but that's just me. I'm old school.

That is the trouble with the announcing these days, they don't talk you through the match that is going on in the ring, they always talk about an upcoming match or something, if they don't come across as caring about the match that is going on then why should we. |

I like the 2-in-1 idea, but would prefer his wrestling attire and his "Blayne" attire from Predator.  I think the odds of NECA getting that done are better. |
