Ronald McDonald (RMCD)
RMCD was launched in 1963 in the USA.
He is used all over the world as advertising figure. His costume is yellow with a red zip.
He has red and white ringed arms and legs and his shoes are huge.
The name of Ronald McDonald is the same all over the world, except in Japan.
Because of the difficulties in pronouncing the “R” the Japanese know him as Donald McDonald. In China too his name is” McDonald Suk-Suk” which means something like Uncle McDonald.
HAMBURGLAR
Hamburglar is the most impudent of all the characters and is continually trying to get his fingers on someone else’s hamburger. He is clothed in a black-white striped prison suit with a black cape. His wide brimmed hat in Spanish style and the half mask covering his eyes are of course black as well.
His tie which is far too big is red with many yellow dots, sometimes little hamburger.
His appearance has changed a lot since his debut in 1971. At the beginning his face was that of an adult male with a nose which was far too big, two protruding teeth and long gray hair.
Now he has changed to become a small boy, about 5 years old with shorf red hair.
GRIMACE
Grimace is large, fluffy and lilac colored, he is a little slow too, rather clumsy, ungainly and often a little helpless.
