Straight out of the the book... "I'LL EAT YOU UP!"
By A Customer
This is an amazingly well done version of Max, the King of the Wild Things. The figure is sculpted perfectly down to the whiskers of his wolf suit and scratch pen marks just like Maurice Sendak's wonderful drawings. Max is caught in his classic pose creating mischief of one kind and another. He comes with a base, scepter and has a removable crown; so you can show off the ears of his wolf suit. Goat boy is just as nice with his scruffy beard and horns.
These figures are rather limited to their poses shown here (which are wonderful) and work best when held tight in their forest floor stands. The arms and legs do move around, but look best as designed. This toy is better suited to be set up and looked at on a book shelf, mantle, or desk. And is NOT well too suited for play in the sandbox or to battle with other action figures.
And of course Max is the centerpiece of the whole Where the Wild Things are collection from McFarlane toys, which are all just as fabulous. Enjoy this toy and make sure to share it and the book with a younger friend; it is still one of my very favorites. (Thanks Mom for reading it to me as a kid.)

There's nothing new to say here- as with my other Wild Thing figure reviews, this set's stupendous. Max and Goatboy are probably the most sought-after, because of Max, and just like the others, they're worth the price (as long as it's not super expensive). Getting these figures in the mail put a big smile on my face, and took me back to the days when I wanted that wolf costume. Oh hell, I -still- want that wolf costume!Max looks great, though the only minor problem is that his face looks a bit chubby. 'no big deal though, because anyone who sees this figure and knows the book will instantly recognize him. The McFarlane masters did a great job sculpting him in his wild pose, and because of how his tail rests on the ground, Max can stand up on his own. He has plastic wire whiskers, and a crown and scepter that you can decorate him with. He has slight articulation at the tail, arms and leg. Goatboy is just as good, and you gotta love the eyes on him. He's easily the smallest of the Wild Things, and much lighter as well. Mine hasn't broken, and I haven't read anything on him breaking for anyone else. He can also stand on his own. Both of course have the scratched ink style on them as well.Max though, also has one big problem with how he was made, and it's the same thing as the other big Wild Things- he breaks very easily. You'd think that since he's smaller, that wouldn't be a problem, especially since Goatboy's a little bigger, and has no problems. Nope. My Max's tail broke off during shipping, and was floating around in the box. I glued it on with no problem, but it broke again after a few weeks. His left arm also broke right at the point of articulation and needed repairing as well. While Mcfarlane sculpted all of these perfectly, I don't get what happened with the quality of the plastic.Just keep an eye out for Max as a whole, and you're good to go with these guys! When they first came out, they were already a good deal since you're getting two figures for the price of one, and it's still a good deal. It's just too bad Goatboy can't ride Aaron!
