1978 Ronald McDonald doll by Hasbro

Ronald McDonald has been the McDonald’s mascot since 1963. But the time Hasbro created this doll in the late 1970s, he was pretty much a fixture of TV ads.

This is a rare, vintage Ronald McDonald doll. He still has his autographed whistle hanging from a red string around his neck that when you put it in the small hole in his mouth, he can blow it (when you squeeze his stomach). Whistle was also designed to be blown by the child owner. Grimace is in his pocket. One of his pockets also bears his signature too. His costume zipper works, but the yellow jumpsuit is not designed to be removable. Body is plush with a plastic head, hands & shoes. Hair is red yarn.

Ronald McDonald was expected to be an interactive doll, allowing the child to learn how to tie shoelaces, use a zipper and blow the whistle. Ronald has 2 pockets, 1 for Grimace (who is sewn into it) to be poked inside & pulled out; while the other breast pocket was to hold the whistle.

Ronald McDonald's body outfit is in very good condition. There is a small chocolate stain near the armpit on the left arm. There is also some chocolate stains on one of the shoes and one of the hands. His face is in terrific condition. Most of the dolls no longer have their whistles, but he still does and both the whistle as well as his air bladder inside his body still work.

Please see photos for details.

This doll had been lovingly cared for and is in incredible shape, but it is in good, timeworn condition. Overall, Ronald McDonald is in terrific condition considering his age.

Made in Hong Kong by Hasbro.
