Just ahead of Father’s Day, Craftsman took the term ‘father figure’ quite literally and released a playful spot that features actual father action figures.

Voted by US Creative Department readers as Ad of the Week, the spot was created by Havas Chicago.

As a dad tells his son the story of one wild night he had back in 1982, figures are used to re-enact moments such as when he claims he scared off a pack of wolves with a flaming torch.

At the end, the ad prompts viewers with: “This Father’s Day, buy dad a tool worth bragging about.”
