Welcome to my third Bee Week review! When started to plan this series of reviews earlier this summer, the first "bee" girl I thought of was Maya. She was originally presented in a German children's book from 1912 but really became the iconic character she is now when the animated series was created in 1975 (and was subsequently aired all over the globe for decades). These action figures are from her newest incarnation, the Studio 100 CGI animated series from 2012. Maya is an inquisitive and adventurous little bee struggling to reign in her curiosities in a rigid and protected hive. She sneaks out of the hive to explore, makes friends, and often get into trouble. It's a classic recipe for good children's storytelling a'la Curious George and Fraggle Rock. I never thought I would find actual action figures for Maya. Everything I've seen previously has been either plush or PVC. I hit the Jackpot with these guys though. Let's check them out in detail below!
