Fake BIRDMAN Action Figure Gets Cheesy Commercial From Fox Searchlight

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) took home Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Cinematography this past weekend, and to celebrate, Fox Searchlight has released a ridiculous new commercial for a fake Birdman action figure. This looks exactly like something that used to air in a block of Saturday morning cartoons in the 80s and 90s, which is why it works so well. (It's nowhere near as insane as this fake commercial, but it's still pretty good.)

Thanks to The Playlist for pointing this out. Apparently Fox sent these figures out to some members of the press to promote the movie during its original theatrical run, and it'd definitely be cool to have one sitting on a shelf if you were a big fan of the movie.
