    Unhappy McD Mascots

    Whatever happened to these wonderful mascots? I was such a big fan when I was a child, and I always looked forward to visiting McD and collect the figurines. When did they expire? Only Ronald seems to be the only relict still intact.

    Edit: SHUT UP! BECAUSE OF THE NEW SECTIONS UPDATE I GOT CONFUSED AND POSTED IT IN THE WORNG PLACE.

    They were canned after Grimace tried to show some kids his mcnuggies.


    I believe the actual story is that the artist they hired to create the characters were never paid so when Mcdonalds started making cartoons about them and putting them everywhere the artists sued McDonalds and won, and rather than paying the royalties they had been awarded to keep using the characters, they just dropped them.

    That's not even close to being true. They were used in commercials and their images were found in McDonalds for years and years. You don't see them anymore because their not really a cool marketable item anymore. I mean, they were kinda cool in the 80's. What more could you expect?

    Looked it up, you're right.
    That's what I get for not checking what I hear.


    I still think the Hamburgler could be marketable if they made him more modern.

    In 1993 a man wearing a Grimace costume indecently exposed himself to me.

    20 years later I am Psychotic, Administrator of Eyes on Final Fantasy. Coincidence...?
