1st or 2nd Proto Michael Jackson thriller head?

[Darren Carnall]

don't forget, this might not have been a Hot Toys choice to go with the album cover/memorial smiling head... this could have been a decision by the family/estate...

HT might not have a choice here. (or it could be a choice BY HT to bring in more MJ fans who arent collectors... who just want a nice MJ figure)

who knows

I dont think so... I mean, the possibility is not that high as what you'd mentioned.

What if HT gives us a nice surprise by giving us all the 3 heads? Maybe the reason behind the high price tag actually comes with all 3 heads!

OK, I asked the question, this is the gospel answer-


Of the two 'normal' heads shown (not the zombie one), can you confirm which will be on the final figure?

>>> The smiling sculpt is the final approved one.

So that's the one chosen, as Darren said, I have a strong feeling it will be more to do with the MJ estate and even possible approval's by Michael himself before his death. So the smiling one is the one MJ and his estate want you to own and it's the one you're gonna get!

That answer is from Hot Toys? Who is Gospel?

Alright, may aswell close this thread now......(before all the hate comments!)

The answer is 'as good as' direct from Hot Toys!



'Gospel' is the code name.... well it is now... I think they'll like that!

I'm happy because I'm one of the 44 above.

Well, people have a preference, that's to be expected. But I don't think any MJ fan could 'HATE' the smilling sculpt... that said, there are alot of strange people around... I should know, I am a few!

Hate comments towards not getting the HS they wanted, not the smiling one itself. I love both, so I'm not complaining!; but as you said, there are some strange ones around - I was just expecting a few "FAIL" comments!

Oh, I'm sure someone will use that tired old expression!

Ok, thank so much for your answer.

It´s sure that they will made some changes before it will be released but the worst thing is that the figure will not show very good for dancing poses.

 

[Darren Carnall]

well hate is a strong word... (although some on this forum seem to 'hate' everything that's not exactly how they want it - followed by toys being thrown out of cot) ...the smiling sculpt is still great, and depending on what part of the video you want to recreate in your pose... its almost perfect.

But if you wanted to recreate a different part of the video... it's next to useless. But still, it's what we're getting... so we deal with it, or we don't buy it.

I'm buying it (I'll just use the Zombie head more)

 

[karamazov80]

I re-watched the video/film last night, and "regular" Michael is smiling and enjoying himself for the majority of the time that he isn't a zombie or werewolf. Hell, he's even smiling when he gets the cat eyes! As such, I think the smiling face might actually be more appropriate than the more solemn look. I would still prefer the other head, though.

 

[Morbo]

Still gonna get two of these, regardless of the expression.
MJ will live forever on my shelf, smiling down upon me and my wife and baby. Aw bless.

 

[viezure]

You could always make the smiling version like this, with his head turned on to you, i think it would look great.

 

[Kapital]

Is great that they do a smilling head but IT HAS TO BE MORE ACCURATE to the real Michael. The older was far better and it was not for the smile it was better because it was more real and look more like Mike. The color of the skin and specially the eyes are better than the new one.

Ugh... such a disappointment...
But how about what FANS want??...
I doubt MJ approved it... it was more likely one of those clueless
marketing guys...

What if we send HT links to this thread and other threads from other forums?...
Would that help in ANY way?...

 

[Kapital]

I think that Hot Toy read this forums and they will make some improvements over the new sculpt.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I preferred the smiling head, so all good here.

 

[Rock83]

I am getting it either way,but i sure hope they improve the Smiling sculpt,that Smile is not Michael.
