Ventura is a parody of the alien species from the Predator movie and franchise.
First introduced in 1987, as the main antagonist of the film, this alien is characterized by its trophy hunting of humans for sport. Likewise, the cardback for Ventura says that his hobby is "hunting and gathering hearts... and skulls."
The name "Ventura" comes from Jesse Ventura -- one of the stars in the film (along with Arnold Schwarzenegger).
The cardback for this figure says that his occupation is as an "alien governor." This is amusing because both stars of this movie -- Arnold Scwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura -- became governors of US states.
Arnold Scwarzenegger has his own TDD homage: Arnie.
