Few modern brands are more iconic than LEGO, but McDonald’s is certainly one of them. And with so many new LEGO elements coming out over the years, the building techniques used by builders and set designers alike to create unconventional curves and connection points continue to amaze and inspire. Just one look at this model of the golden arches by Aiden.Builds has my mouth watering for a sausage breakfast sandwich or an Oreo McFlurry. The gentle curves of the arches are made with a surprising amount of straight pieces, and the scale of the build is at first glance deceptively small.

A WackDonald’s nightmare that doesn’t involve hot coffee on the crotch
There’s nothing to see here. I recommend you move on ASAP and check out our LEGO puppy archives instead. Get! Skidaddle! Are you still here? You must be a sucker for punishment, then. Fine, have it your way! With so much AI art on the net nowadays, including some bonkers LEGO creations, you’d think this is yet another disturbing offering from our eventual robot overlords. But no, this came from the mind of Julius von Brunk. He calls it McGundam and it features a clown mech with a large Ronald McDonald head for a crotch. What part of that don’t you understand? Kinda makes you wish hot coffee was the only McDonald’s crotch-related mishap, doesn’t it? Julian goes on to tell us that this model went through several iterations due to frequent stability and fragility issues. No one said fueling your nightmares was easy! If you like your LEGO creations just a little bit unsettling then check out our Julius Von Brunk archives. By this point, it’s probably too late to enjoy some lovable kitty archives instead.
I’d like a Happy Meal, and some Brickheadz to go
These cute incarnations of famous fast food characters by Eric Mok in LEGO Brickheadz fashion are a tasty treat. Ronald Mcdonald’s hairdo is spot-on, as are his clothes, right down to his collars. Eric has managed to sneak in the signature arches on Birdie’s outfit, and Hamburglar’s tie even spots a burger-like printed element. And as if the figures weren’t enough, the base stands are shaped like mouth-watering cheeseburgers.
If I was in McDonalds marketing, I’d be trying to figure out how to mass-produce these for a Happy Meal giveaway promo.
