Max Uncute Plushie[]

The Max Stuffed Toy is plush doll of Max made as a collaboration project between Steve Purcell and the toy company Uncute (Formerly "Hashtag Collectibles"). It was a limited edition, but as UnCute saw how many people want him, they started to produce more plushies of him on the way.

Quote from Purcell himself: Though Max appears sweet and cuddly, he’s a cotton ball of untamed ferocity. A living concussion bomb of sharp observation and lacerating insults. Squeeze him close, but always keep your hands away from his mouth.

On October 12th, 2023, Uncute released the Sam Stuffed Toy to complete the duo[1].

Appearance and materials[]

Price: $39.99

Release date: 13.11.2020

15" Inches tall (38cm), not including the ears / 21" inches tall (54cm), including the ears.

Max is a medium plushie, not too big, and not too small.

Max is made of Polyester Fiber, he has cardboard in his ears, plastic particles filling in his tummy, and a plastic empty ball in his tail.

Sometimes he may come without a cotton in one of his body parts like leg or arm.

Materials the Max plushie is made of are very fragile, so it's better not to put him into dirty places, as he absolves any dirt like a sponge (seriously). Plus, Polyester Fiber is super flammable, so try to keep him away from fire as much as possible.

Uh-Oh, Max is Dirty from all the many Sam & Max Adventure Reenactments i've had with him! What do i do? (Image by @samandmax305 on Twitter)[2]

For years since the Max Stuffed Toy released by Uncute, many people were finally excited to have a real physical version of their favorite Cartoon Character in a marketable, fluffy form! However, there is one thing many fans didn't realize was going to happen to their Max toy inevitably.

It will get dirty. All Plushies and Toys do that, especially Max, with his white furr and very character being represented as a disgusting little bunny. But how does one exactly clean their best pal in toy form for more fun adventures? (possibly sitting on a shelf as decoration)

Luckily for you, the fandom bonds once again to find a helpful solution to this problem! Here is a tiny guide on how to properly clean a Max Plush! Keep in mind that Max has a cardboard in his ears to help keeping them up. The carboard may destroy after constantly washing, so wash him only when it's really needed.

Deep clean using washing machine:[]

Stuff you'll need: Washing machine, Lint Roller, Vinegar, Mesh Laundry bag, Detergent.

  1. Start by Lint Rolling your Max enough times.
  2. Soak your Max in Vinegar.
  3. Carefully place him inside a Mesh Laundry Bag.
  4. Place Max inside the Mesh Laundry Bag in your Washer on the Delicates setting using Cold/Cool Water.
  5. Put a small amount of Unscented Detergent inside the Washer.
  6. After washing him in the washer, hang him by the ears (you are aware there are children watching?) or legs to Air Dry.
  7. Finally, after he dries, Lint Roll him one more time, until he slowly comes back into a regular shape.

Huge Thanks to @HannahMikolay on Twitter for the Guide.[3]

Hand cleaning for those who are scared of destroying their plushies:[]

Stuff you'll need: Bowl, Water, shampoo/detergent, sun/radiator

  1. Prepare a bowl with warm/hot water.
  2. Place your Max plushie in it without covering his ears in water.
  3. Make circles on his body underwater to get water sink into the fabric. (Rememeber to pour a little amount of water on hand and clean his ears)
  4. Pour some shampoo/detergent on your hand and make circles on Max's body again. (Won't forget to put some bubbles from hands on his ears)
  5. Get rid of old dirty water, and pour the bowl with warm/hot water again.
  6. Clean shampoo/detergent using fresh water.
  7. Let Max dry on the sun, the best way is hanging him out by his feet's or letting him on a bench that is straight facing the sun.
  8. If you can't get sun, leave him on the radiator and wait for him to dry.

Careful wash in a recommended way by UnCute:[]

Uncute recommended to wash your plushies dry, using hands and not putting your plushie in washing machine as it may destroy it's structure. Here's a small tutorial on how to wash him without a washing machine:

Stuff you'll need: Cloth, shampoo/detergent, radiator

  1. Take a piece of Cloth and pour some water on it.
  2. Take slightly wet Cloth to your Max plushie and make circles on his body.
  3. Use small amount of shampoo/detergent on a cloth, and make circles on Max's body again.
  4. Clean your cloth and put it in water again.
  5. Remove unnecessary water from cloth and start getting rid of shampoo/detergent from Max's body.
  6. As you finish, he should be a little wet, so let him dry on a radiator and he should be fine to go!

And just like that, you have washed your Max Stuffed Toy! Enjoy messing around with him once again! (Before the inevitable day where he gets dirty again and needs to wash once more)
