Where the Wild Things Are: Max and Goat Boy
These beautiful figures were painstakingly re-created from the pages of  Maurice Sendak's 1963Where the Wild Things Are, winner of the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Most Distinguished Picture Book of  the Year. Although the figures are intended for the collection shelf (with their limited articulation and  standup bases), fans won't be able to resist using them as action figures. Max's crown and scepter are  separate pieces, and his right arm, left foot, and fox-outfit tail turn to vary his  mid-rumpus pose. Goat Boy, standing upright on his base, can be posed by turning his  articulated left leg. If kids don't lose the pieces or tear off one of the articulated body  parts, they'll love having these figures for nostalgic display in a dorm room or apartment.--Ava Natov
