    Uncle O' Grimacey

    This is the first time I've ever posted a custom because I'm kind of a hack, but this one was just too fun to make so I thought I'd share him. I've been trying to figure out how to do a Birdie from McDonald's custom for a while now and while researching, I stumbled upon Uncle O'Grimacey, who I had forgotten all about. Introduced to promote Shamrock Shakes, he's every bit as cliched as you'd expect an Irish character from this period to be, complete with shillelagh. Hope you like him and that I can remember how to do pics.





    With his more famous purple nephew.

      Nice! I never knew about this guy until our McDonald's did a remodel, and the light fixtures had some of the more obscure characters on it. Sadly, that same McDonald's (where my son works now) now looks like a prison, like most of them.

      But you nailed it!

            Great job! I keep wanting to go back and revisit my own McDonaldLand figures to add him. Really looks like the character!

              That’s pretty darn neat, I actually do not remember him, but I love getting the shamrock shake around St. Patrick’s day, it’s been kind of a personal tradition over the years.

                  That's adorbs well done.
                  You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                    The stuff of nightmares... And I mean that as a compliment. This guy always creeped me out. Nice work!
