Mcdonalds Ronald and the Gang with McNuggets Buddies


Do you know that Mcdonald has a fantasy world called "McDonaldland"? which was formerly used in marketing for McDonald's, in Jolibee they have this called "Jolly Town" but in McDonalds it's called "McDonaldland" but so sad this was not use in the Philippine advertisements that's why most of us Filipinos are not familiar with the Mcdonalds characters.

As of now Mcdonalds Restaurant have a four main characters namely Ronald McDonald, Grimace, Hamburglar, and Birdie.

Ronald Mcdonald is the primary icon of Mcdonald's character, he is a fun-loving clown with yellow baggy pants, red-striped turtleneck, and big red shoes that's about 29 inches long. Ronald McDonald can speak 21 languages and he is an international star, recognized by more than 96% of American children. He is the Mcdonalds character who always greeted you aside from the guard when you are entering at any Mcdonalds Restaurant.

Grimace is big purple blob, he is sweet and friendly and always asking questions. They call him Grimace, because he's so curious, and he's always asking Ronald -- his best friend -- to explain how things work. Grimace represents the desserts. Among the characters Grimace is the most gullible and my most favorite.

Hamburglar is sneaky (but cute!) little guy that can make all kinds of McDonaldland food disappear... into his pockets! He's especially fond of hamburgers! He was a thief that was dressed in a black-and-white hooped shirt and pants, a black cape, a wide-brimmed hat, and red gloves whose primary object of theft was hamburgers. He is the character who represents the burgers.

Birdie the early bird was the first identifiably female character that represents the Breakfast. She is a yellow bird wearing a pink jumpsuit and flight cap and scarf.

McNuggets Buddies are consist of six fellow which color Red, Skyblue, Yellow, Green, Blue and Orange that represents the restaurant's "Chicken McNuggets" the menu items that mainly appealed to kids. However Mcdonalds didn't make a Mcnuggets mascot because this character is really small.

Just like McNuggets Buddies they also didn't make a Ronald Mcdonald mascot because Ronald is a clown, instead they replace it with Kid Mcdo a mascot that represents Ronald Mcdonald. Well I really like a clown Ronald in my Party but you know preparing a clown than mascot in the party is kinda hard and more works, and aside from that the person who always portrays as Ronald is an American guy. Kid Mcdo the alternative version of Ronald is also cute mascot and always loved by kids. Do you know how tall each character is? hmmm,.. It's defend on the person who's wearing their mascot is,.. ehehe^^,

  3. In the USA there are more characters than you named in the mascot lineup. Their is the Mad professor who is the one who created the mcnuggets, there is mayor mccheese and big mac the sheriff. There is 12 orginal mcnugget buddies and many additional ones that came later. The original 12 are Rocker,Snorkel,Volley,Boomerang,Sparky,Corny,Drummer,Sarge,First Class,Cowpoke,Daisy,Slugger, and all their last names is McNugget. Also there are the Fry Guys, The Happy Meal Gang, and an assortment of Fry or Hamburger headed creatures. The original Ronald had a drink cup for a nose and had a money belt that dispensed drink,hamburger, and fries like magic and he wore a tray on his head. I am forgetting Captain Crook, Who is the resident pirate in McDonaldland. The original Grimace had 6 arms.
    I feel like there are more I am forgetting. It all comes back to me :P I grew up with a happy meal a week, sometimes two and happy meals had toys inside and there was always a playland you could go into that had a ronald mcdonald statue to greet you and lots of play equipment made to resemble the original characters.
