In this format as a child's bank, Ronald is seated cross-legged and waving his right hand. The detail on the figure is great: you can even see the yellow shoelaces tied into bows on his big red shoes. The coin slot is in back.
Ronald made his first appearance under McDonald's "golden arches" in 1963, and just three short years later was invited to appear in the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. He has been a cartoon, a baloon, a TV star, and a real-life guy portrayed by such famous personalities as Willard Scott, the well-known weatherman of NBC's Today Show.
The clown prince of McDonaldland, Ronald also helps out with charities, such as the Ronald McDonald House and Children's Charities, dedicated to the memory of McDonald's founder, Ray A. Kroc.
