Growing up in the 1980's, McDonald's commercials featuring Ronald McDonald, Grimace, the Hamburglar, the Fry Guys and all the others were a daily part of watching TV. They were on at all times of day. When I was a kid, going to McDonald's was a treat that was often associated with a prior trip to the dentist or a good report card. Since Ronald is as much associated with my childhood as Beta VCRs and Saturday morning cartoons, I thought it would be fun to include him in Retro Toy Chest II.
When it came time to give Ronald an accessory, I considered a bunch of options from hamburgers and cola to a heavy machine gun. I wanted to make something funny, silly and cartoony that works with the style of the figure. I thought that a big honkin' purple bazooka that shoots milk shake fit the bill.
