I'm curious about that too. Especially since it looks like it's modeled off of "late 80s" Max. (I have a fondness for early!butterball!Max, for some reason.)
I forget the term for them, but it's common in studio animation to have scale models like that to reference from different angles, to maintain a consistent look for the characters as they're being drawn by different artists. I would guess that's what he has there, probably from the TV show, it may well be one of a kind.

You would be describing maquettes. And yeah ... it doesn't quite look like the Max we see in the cartoon, but it's still a possibility.

What is this Max figure Steve is holding?
Yaaay, he watches Survivor! That makes me feel slightly less guilty about my guilty TV secret.
