and thanks for making me feel old again...Back in the 90's there was a boy equivalent to "polly pocket" where things like monster heads opened up into pocket sized playsets with tiny figures in it. There was a cartoon adaptation where Tim Curry played the main villain and everything. The main character was a kid named Max who was about 12, and wore a red baseball cap (which was magic and able to open wormholes to the places where adventures happened) a white T-shirt, and blue jeans, so aside from the fact that he's blonde he looks very much like the boyfriend character here.
