FANTASTIC MAX

Fantastic Max is an animated cartoon series produced by Hanna-Barbera in the late 1980s. It centers on a diaper-wearing toddler named Max, who has adventures in outer space with two of his toys FX, a pull string alien doll from a planet called Twinkle-Twinkle and AB Sitter, a C3PO-like android made of blocks.

Fantastic Max ran on television from 1988-1990. It first appeared on television on September 11, 1988 on NBC. The last episode to appear on television was shown on February 1, 1990. In Season 2, 1989 Bronx and Goldie were removed, leaving only Dumping Jack Trash as Max's main opponent in space. It replaced the original 1982 season Superted which had phased out in 1988, though there was a new season of Superted in that year called The Further Adventures of Superted
