JADA TOYS General Thread

I think McDonalds got sued by the estate of Bobby Darin because of Mac Tonight. I knew a kid in third grade who was obsessed with Mac Tonight.

He was a huge meme in the early mid 2000s in some circles.

I really liked Mac tonight when I was a kid too. That and the noid for some reason.

The noid rocks is obviously the reason

If I had the Noid I would totally stage that hostage situation with other figures.

I love The Noid, he'd make a fun figure. Mac Tonight would be impossible to do, even without considering the lawsuit. Too much baggage. Not like he'd be particularly hard to make as a custom, though. Pick your favorite suited body and get a custom head, and you're done.

 

[altcunningham]

What's the baggage?

I guess some goobers some years back used Mac Tonight as "Moon Man" and made edgy racist memes with him.

 

[altcunningham]

Le sigh.

 

[Niko (protozoalord)]

Yeah, McDonald's has outright refused to bring him back ever because of it, and use by the DHS last week has further amplified controversy.

There was a fun amateur documentary on MAC tonight on YouTube I watched a few years ago where they went and recovered the Mac tonight animatronic that was a long time staple at a specific McDonald’s and fixed it up to make it work sgain
