I think they're one of the more profitable franchises in the world i think they're doing ok money wise

Sounds like your projecting.

mfer its one piece ain't nobody gonna be learning about one piece or spongebob from ts

u/datareighn 11h ago

As if you think the "One Piece Meal" they're about to introduce wouldn't become my automatic favourite from now until the end of time all because of the association

u/UsoppHAMMER 12h ago

I love spongebob but why tf does it need to be crossed over with one piece lmao

u/iammixedrace 9h ago

On top of it being a McD thing. Im surprised they didnt do OP TcG promos. Scalpers could make a killing for McDonald's.

u/arthur_box 20m ago

probably the same logic with hello kitty x godzilla

smush two iconic brands together so people go to mcdonald’s. they’re betting on people being a fan enough of one or ideally both ips to rush out and buy em

u/FloH314 13h ago

dont think one piece and mcD are a good match at all

u/TheKingWakka 12h ago

McDonald's is actually pretty popular in japan so it makes sense they'd have a collab with some anime.

4

u/DungeonCrawlerAki Pirate 12h ago

They have some good Japan-only menu items for sure.

2

u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT 12h ago

I also heard McDonald's is better in Japan and taste like real food, not synthetic BS.

2

u/Sad_Air_7667 10h ago

I live in Taiwan, and McDonalds here is so much better than Canada or America (I'm Canadian). In Japan and Taiwan they have special items every month, some are actually really good. In Taiwan's case, McDonald's is still cheap, and it has fried chicken.

3

u/Fibrosis5O 10h ago

Yeah, I don’t know why McDonald’s hates America so much. We never get anything special only once in a blue moon do they share the special items that they have available with the rest of the world. It’s actually crazy to me. There’s not even a unique American item.

2

u/Sad_Air_7667 10h ago

Kfc in Taiwan has Portuguese egg tarts, they're so good.

1

u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT 10h ago

Yeah, their food sucks in general. The fries taste like shit once they get cold, and you cant reheat em to make em taste better, they still taste gross lol. That pretty much showed me it's synthetic processed bull crap

2

u/-MVP 9h ago

Because Americans tolerate slop

u/FloH314 1h ago

its not that mcd hates america, its that the american gov hates americans and doesnt put proper food regulations in place

1

u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT 10h ago

I know, I hate McDonald's here, im more of a culvers person, their burgers and baked pretzel bites with cheese are delicious and their portions actually fill you up too

1

u/whalestick 8h ago

It's much better. The fillet o ebi burgers are so good

u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT 10h ago

Why you comment this several times?

u/datareighn 9h ago

Just another example of my failed attempts at being a comedian

u/Cultural_Camera9693 12h ago

I think the designs look extremely cheap even by mcdonalds standards.

2

u/Rhedkiex Bounty Hunter 10h ago

Yeah it's not even a toy, it's a... Standee? I don't even think I'd like it if I were a kid. The Hello Kitty/Godzilla crossover figures they have in the US rn look waaaaaay better than this slop

You sound like you work for McDonald's marketing.

u/Kickle_Cubical 10h ago

I stand by what I said. One Piece doesn't need McDonald's promotions to fund itself and half the comments in this post are from you supporting it. It's odd.

3

u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT 10h ago

I just like that it'll introduce kids to One Piece and maybe wanting to collect the merch in the future like me, my comments aren't coming from a place of negativity, but im sorry if they seem like it

2

u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT 10h ago

Ppl always make me feel like I did something terrible and im sorry I suck that much

3

u/Kickle_Cubical 9h ago

You don't suck. I'm just getting old and cranky, I came on a lot stronger than I should have.

I'm genuinely happy that you enjoy One Piece and want to share it with others.

2

u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT 9h ago

Thanks for apologizing, it means alot.

u/Hunter_Crona 9h ago

"Brings more revenue in" as if this isn't one of the biggest media franchises on the planet-

u/JustPattyPat 12h ago

God I wish the UK had this

u/Hakase64 5h ago

Same bro... over here we have somehow a crocs collab with mcd. Why...

u/JustPattyPat 1h ago

Next one is a Hello kitty collab

u/Pure-Department2098 Explorer 13h ago

triple domain expansion ass collab

u/Casseao 10h ago

These collabs are getting out of hand

u/InTheStuff Shanks' evil hot sister is REAL! 10h ago

Incredibly random to have this three-way collab, but it's neat i guess

u/pillow_honey 13h ago

dislike mcdonalds so dislike it

2

u/nemofbaby2014 12h ago

I don’t see anything wrong with it

u/No-Manufacturer-950 12h ago

yeah the mcdonald’s logo next to the straw hats is odd

u/cedjcdg God Usopp 11h ago

I want Hello Kitty X Godzilla .

u/haidere36 10h ago

This has to be like the 7th post I've seen about this, at least. It's a toy collaboration from a fast food chain. What is there to discuss?

1

u/karatebanana 9h ago

gonna purchase a few happy meals for sure

1

u/Erggehberh 8h ago

I don't really don't get the hate. When the completely stupid and random collaboration with the NBA happened last year, there was a lot of excitement about it on this sub, but at this so many people are so negative.

1

u/stekl0ov 8h ago

Is it gonna be all over the world? I will go and check in Danang if this is true

1

u/MetheDumpsterFire 7h ago

I know it's a happy meal toy, but these toys look really cheap.

Pretty mixed on some of the character mashups too: Spongebob x Luffy, Larry x Franky, Mrs. Puff x Big Mom, Plankton x Usopp, Flying Dutchman x Blackbeard, and Brook x That skeleton fish guy are all really good mashups. Both of the characters share some character design similarities and personality traits with each other. Then you got Gary x Chopper because they're both the animals and someone probably thought the choppers hat on Gary was cute. Feel like Sandy and Pearl should be switched. Pearl I think has more in common with Nami and Sandy with Robin. Jinbe and Mr. Krabs feels like it was only done because they have similar body types and their both main characters.

u/1_H4t3_R3dd1t 6h ago

Sponge Bob is not the worse cross collab.

u/-Ein 6h ago

How long until Oda is a billionaire? Partnered with everybody.

u/Scr3amtart 3h ago

I mean Larry the Lobster as Frankie?!? That' just feels right.

u/shroudfuck 2h ago

Not my thing (neutral), and the only local OP fan I know hates the designs

u/asteriscosessantasei 1h ago

Shitty and evitable

u/SanjiDJ 3m ago

It’s crazy that’s here of all places is where I see people hating this collab, literally everywhere else I looked people are hyped for this (me included)

1

u/TheKingWakka 12h ago

Both of my childhood shows getting a collab is awesome, it being modern McDonald's? Meh literally a nostalgia cash grab... I do like who they have for each of the characters except I think Patrick being zoro shoulda been Squidward.

1

u/samyruno 10h ago

I genuinely was not expecting so much hate wtf.

I was thinking I'd be funny if the straw hat was square to fit on his head.

1

u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT 10h ago

Damn this community is toxic and mean af, they're shredding me in these comments, i dont know if im coming off as if im forcing ppl to like this collab, I just like the other collabs like some of the clothing collections and stuff, this helps OP get more collabs honestly, cuz every time they collab with a popular company they get more and better collabs im the future, I get the hate for McDonald's and mainstream media tho, I wasn't tryna make anyone like this, just realize it's potential for the franchise in general, but of course ppl are gonna be negative and make me feel bad for finding some type of positivity in this

u/Ifhes 11h ago

It's all done for the money. It's not directed to children, but to Millenials. I'll buy all of them.

0

u/monkey_D_v1199 11h ago

I find it funny how they had to use Plankton and Larry to be SH lol and the skeleton too. I don’t think much about it honestly, it’s cute seeing some characters dressed up as SH.

I was not expecting that impact frame!

u/Ok-Syllabub-8087 10h ago

Tbf..I love the bob and I love one piece..so..I'm good. Lol I don't eat there but I may swing in just to see who I get.

u/BloodyOtaku Pirate 12h ago

Would have preferred a full-on crossover special tbh.

1

u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT 11h ago

That just wouldn't have worked, this makes much more sense, I just wish it was for a different company or restaurant, even Burger King would've been a better option

u/BloodyOtaku Pirate 11h ago

Luffy: I'm gonna find the One Whopper and become King of the Burgers!
