Product Review/Vlog: McDonald's Restaurant Replica - Repair/Discussion + Rant on Architecture
2IMPORTANT: This vlog aside from the product review is heavily opinionated. Don't take it seriously! Also, please not only watch the entire video but also read the description before commenting. I don't waste my breath on know-it-all comments or comments like they only watched part of the video or didn't read the description that may have some important points I might have forgotten to say in the video.
In this video, I present to you this McDonald's ceramic figure replica from when the company used to opt for the faux mansard roof (with parallel lamps) exterior appearance from the very late 1960s up until 2006. This official McDonald's product was released in 1993 by Group Communications II and is a rare find. I ordered it off of eBay back around late 2014 and opened it months later around the summer of 2015 and found out the storefront sign came off the façade it's supposed to be molded on. Now, in this video for the first time since I bought this cool figurine, I glue the storefront sign back on the façade, and with the use of the glue gun that the glue is strong enough so the sign will be less likely to come back off. The end result was a bit against my assumption, but otherwise how this came out is seemingly passable.
After doing the repair work, I now go over the details to this particular figurine. After doing the review on the figure, I now go on a rant voicing my honest opinion why I find the old store design to be a warm and welcoming experience while the new style they're opting for now is rather a cold and distasteful one and worth avoiding. Needless to say, the old design was fit for a nice good variety of themes like classical, rock n roll, summertime, etc. However, now most of those uniquely-themed stores nowadays are being converted into nothing but a plain McDonald's during renovations and becoming an excuse to be less customer-friendly. Even worse, the idea of replacing employees with robots to take your order and serve you is just ridiculous. Self-ordering kiosks? NO THANK YOU! Those new machines are only good for nothing, and there is nothing more natural than using your voice to place your order, but I do like the idea of Mobile Ordering where you can use your smartphone or any other lightweight device to place and submit your order and then arrive to the restaurant and cut the line to get your order. If Mobile Ordering is handy, then I don't really see a need for those computerized machines that would otherwise look like like a super-sized smartphone tacked into the structure, yet newer technology should mean smaller devices.
Anyways, this was filmed on May 30th. Please pardon the delay in posting videos now. Any rude, obnoxious, know-it-all, and/or bigoted comments will be deleted if I receive them. As a brutally honest person, I (just like you) am free to voice my opinions on just about anything, even architecture for fast food joints and stuff.
