The Big Dream

Ext. Miniature Forest—Day
Action Force Rolling Thunder Attack Tank Alpha toy bursts through a miniature treeline being pushed by a boy and his friend. It comes skidding to a stop as the boy slides the turret over 90 degrees preparing to fire.

Roger that. You are cleared hot.
Ext. Miniature Forest—Day
The tank fires it's projectile and smashes through an enemy enclosure. The boys celebrate with high fives and fist pumps.
Boy 1
Direct hit!

Boy 2
Alright!

Super (VO)
Action Force Rolling Thunder Attack Tank Alpha comes with real combat sounds and firing cannon. Feel the land tremble with heavy-duty real rubber tank treads. With the Action Force Rolling Thunder Attack Tank Alpha, fun keeps on roll'n.


Remember that scene in the movie "Big" where Tom Hanks is playing in his office with a bunch of toys? As a kid, I dreamed that my job would be cool like that. And it is, for the most part. But how cool would it be to write toy commercials?


I'm sure those involved in producing toy commercials are still caught up in the minutia of the details. Casting, managing the talent, finding a location, setting up, taking down. But you can't tell me that crews don't have fun making these things. Here are a few fun commercials for your viewing pleasure.










(These actors are better than the cast of G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. By far.)
