So I couldn't avoid picking this one up today... It's a Moishe Mcfarlane figure signed on the front by both Todd Mcfarlane and Maurice Sendak...

Where the wild things are was one of my favorite childhood books, and I can't tell you all how many times I have read the story to my daughter...

The original owner said they got it many moons ago at an FAO Schwartz signing party when the figures were released... the box is in decent shape, autographs are very legible... the FAO tag is still on the bottom!

I found this link in doing some investigation & als read that nearly 400 figures flew off the shelves that day (I think there were 5 figures in total)

Anyone have any idea how many of these were signed & what the approximate value would be?

Many Thanks,
David

There were 7 figures in the series: Aaron, Bernard, Moishe, Emil, Tzippy, Max & Goat Boy (2-figure pack). I would imagine if nearly 400 were sold that day, then there are nearly 400 signed figures out there, as I can't imagine too many folks in that scenario buying a figure and then beating feet without also getting it signed.

Only sale of a signed one I could find was last December for $83 on eBay:
