Childhood Curiosity Turns Into Top YouTube Channel

​February 2011: As a LEGO® fanatic and vending machine enthusiast, Marcel, the founder of Astonishing Studios, stumbled across a YouTube video that changed his life: a M&M's & Skittles LEGO Candy Machine. After scrutinizing every similar creation on YouTube and building his own, he decided to share his work online. What began as a curiosity evolved into a full time venture, now ranking as the most popular LEGO® food channel and among the top 10 focused on LEGO® bricks.

June 2015: After constructing gobstopper creations with little variation in between, Marcel became creatively depleted and decided to take a three month break despite two years of consistent uploads. Though he was close to abandoning the project, he used the time to read business articles and books, especially about young entrepreneurs, with plans to make an impact in his own way. He returned to YouTube in the summer of 2015 with machines that dispensed Kinder Eggs, Pizza, McNuggets and everything else the young and young at heart salivate over.

TODAY: Astonishing Studios now sits at nearly 400,000 subscribers, and 80 million cumulative views. We are practically on every big Facebook page, from Insider to UNILAD, because our content is share-worthy and spans generations. Go ahead, be astonished.

Our History

Astonishing Studios was established in 2011 as a YouTube channel to showcase candy machines made in our free time. If you want to laugh, watch our first and worst video. Eventually, the channel evolved from a YouTube account with several viewers to a page with myriads of followers. Now we create quality machines that dispense McDonald's, Doritos, M&M's and other foods that viewers suggest.
