Earlier this week, I took a look at The Grinch Dorbz Ride, featuring The Grinch and Max with their sleigh. Today, I take a look at two of the Pop! Vinyls from the line: The Grinch and Max, both of which are dressed up to steal Christmas from the Whos down in Whoville.
These are the only two regular releases in this line, though The Grinch has a color variant chase (1:6 ratio). For exclusives, Books-A-Million has a flocked version of The Grinch, Calendar Club (usually runs those pop-up calendar stores in malls) has a flocked version of Max, and Box Lunch has a different mold of The Grinch, who is holding the Roast Beast. Concept art for that special version can be found on the back of the box.
The Grinch is decked out in his homemade Santa suit, while Max has a single lone antler strapped to his head.
Overall, I like these two sculpts a lot, and feel that they do justice to the original animation of Dr. Seuss’ book and subsequent animated holiday special. Perfect addition to any holiday collection.
