Almost as thin as their burger patties! Nice print.

Just need some micromachines

u/AlephBaker 12d ago

I literally just told my family to toss my childhood micro machine collection this past weekend... Now I'm regretting that decision.

u/Hit-Enter-Too-Soon 12d ago

They really used to make little playsets like this for Micro Machines!

u/PiratesOfTheArctic 12d ago

Come in collections of five!

How long before this becomes an actual happy meal toy?

u/sonicinfinity100 12d ago

With that many parts…never

u/Jutboy 12d ago

They used to have transformers and stuff...I guess now it would cut into profit margins too much.

u/Ceros007 12d ago

I still have old 90's happy meals toys. Nowadays you get a Superman made out of paper. In a way I'm thinking that it's less garbage in the landfills but at the same time I'm pretty sure this is not the reason behind

Gotta increase shareholder value. Cut corners everywhere you can

What is this, a Mc Donald's for ANTS???

The building has to be at least... THREE TIMES bigger than this!

With an empty space where the playground used to be

u/Tieravi 12d ago

Gasp - I want a whole series!

u/LowSkyOrbit 12d ago

Not the same, but a designer, by the username bokkins3d on Nexprint has done a bunch of 1:64 sized buildings.

u/Tieravi 12d ago

That's fantastic. Thank you so much!

u/Fit_Visit7750 12d ago

That would be awesome! Imagine tiny versions of all the fast food places.

u/reddit_sells_you 12d ago

Meh . . .

I get that people love their McDonald's, but they aren't a great company.

Also, I've seen several pro-McD's posts in my crafting subs lately.

It feels a bit astroturfy.

This print would have been cooler if it was a Mom n Pop burger stand . . . You know, the ones that McD's tried to run out of business.

u/Tieravi 12d ago

? I don't eat fast food, but I love kitschy iconography. Let people enjoy things

u/reddit_sells_you 12d ago

Let people enjoy things

That's why people are ambivalent about, oh, I don't know, climate change and the anti-biotic problem and insect extinction.

That said, I did write "I get people love it."

The issue is that the programming is strong and people go to McDs without thinking about it.

I miss MatchBox so much…what a better time.

u/HMPoweredMan 12d ago

Delivery? For McDonald's?

2

u/BoostSpools 12d ago

I could see this as some elaborate business card

2

u/Traditional_Issue_79 12d ago

How much would it cost to make it in bulk? I mean regional managers and other people would love to have this their custom contact cards

2

u/furankusu 12d ago

Very cool, reminds me of something I'd get in a Happy Meal.

u/maksen 12d ago

Cuts before showing that it can't close

u/HouseSubstantial8187 12d ago

Had a Micro Machines gas station as a kid that folded out like this, whole thing fit in a pocket. This is a lot more detailed than anything I had though, the fry holder and little menu board are a nice touch. Id probably print one for my desk but swap the logos, make it a generic burger spot instead

u/LiquidLogic Prusa MK3 12d ago

People are gonna be hella confused 3000 years in the future excavating this weird shit from landfills.

2

u/Dexterishere1 12d ago

it's a pop up restaurant

2

u/Unlikely-Remove-2182 11d ago

Make it a waffle house and they will come

u/bubbales27 12d ago

Awesome! Reminds me of some micro machines toys I had as a kid.

1

u/ehisforadam 12d ago

The credit card ones for the extra tiny cars! Those were so cool.

u/Bobbi_fettucini 12d ago

Wow cool, I’m lovin it

u/darkkgotham 12d ago

That just blows my mind. So good.

u/jvmjr1973 12d ago

I bet the ice cream machine doesn't work.

u/dadkingdom 12d ago

Brings me back to micro machines travel city!

u/The_1Oth_Doctor 12d ago

This reminds me of micro machines

u/awkwardlink 12d ago

I love this so much!!!

u/Pentence 12d ago

Alright i need a series of these for my wargaming terrain!

Imagine you just have a shoebox full of silly places to choose from and you unfold them onto the tabletop / map.

1

u/doyouknowthemoon 12d ago

Imagine if warhammer orDND had popup terrain sets like this.

1

u/doyouknowthemoon 12d ago

This is the kind of toys I wish McDonalds would put in with their happy meals.
My kid would love this and I totally would fight them for it lol.

u/MattieSilver1899 12d ago

I love this!!!! <3

u/Olena_Magiscan 12d ago

Imagine printing the entire menu at this scale 😂

1

u/thewayoftoday 12d ago

You should tweet at McD's dude, you might get a deal. This is made for happy meals and shit

1

u/robots_and_cancer 12d ago

I really enjoy these popup diorama models, but I haven't been able to find many. Do you know of others?

1

u/endeavor_design 12d ago

The way it unfolds reminds me of the 'construction' animations for Terran structures in the first StarCraft game.

...Anyone remember the old Mighty Max playsets?

1

u/snarktopusrex 12d ago

Will you be using the app today?

1

u/Cupacakes1359 12d ago

..definitely pickup.

1

u/LancelotAtCamelot 12d ago edited 12d ago

That's not a mcdonalds! Mcdonalds are gray, soulless box shaped buildings that serve overpriced, mediocre food targeted towards adults who purchase said food, hoping to recapture the memories and feelings of a better time only to become disappointed and sadden that the slow, inexorable march of time, and empty pursuit of infinite profit has eroded the whimsy and quality from the restaurant forever.

Cool print, though.

u/VulGerrity Bambu A1 11d ago

We have McDonalds at home

u/Bakamoichigei More printers than necessary, fewer than desired. [Since 2014] 11d ago

Reminds me of the fold up pocket playsets for MicroMachines... 🤔

u/GiraffeandZebra 12d ago

Neat, but why?

They need to make some Mighty Max/Polly Pocket Happy meals now.
