Hot Toys Michael Jackson Thriller?

[The ill Jedi]

I don't think we'll see both versions. That would mean 2 outfits and 4 heads. So figure on one, either Street or Teen Wolf version. I think they'll save a DX for last now.

I am a patient man I can wait, as long as we get them I don't care, I love all the looks from that video.

I don't think we'll see any figure anytime soon...
with all the legal crap that's bound to happen, a lot of people will act like vultures
trying to get the rights to MJ's likeness and memorabilia... so any current deals might be off now...

i agree...plus, doesn't the figure have to be ok'd by someone before it hits production? is his family really going to be in the mood to give likeness approvals on dolls any time soon?

 

[Darth Waller]

Oh yeah!

They (before his sudden death) had already planned to reveal a Michael figure a few weeks from now so that step I assume was secured long ago.

god i hope you're right.
there's plenty of awesome figures to be made from Moonwalker.

 

[SilentSurfer]

I'd like a red outfit version with optional torn jacket and zombie face. Been wanting a Thriller Jackson since they first announced the MJ license.

Me too. When it comes to Michael there are tons of possibilities but I wouldn't be surprised if the next HT's release is also the last. I dunno why but I am feeling a "Beat It" Michael for some reason. Knowing HT's they "uaually" save the best for last.

 

[DinoLast]

I wouldn't mind an Off the Wall, Beat it or even the outfit on the front of the Thriller Album Michael Jackson

 

[Mack]

I'd buy a Michael Jackson Thriller DX figure, and a Smooth Criminal figure.

*waits for announcement*

Me too

Would his family do that though or is that a lawyer/caretaker kind of job? I have no idea how such things work so....

 

[Wanderer]

Now he's passed, its almost my duty to have a representation of him in my collection. Didn't dig the last figure HT did as it wasn't iconic enough imo. I'll settle for the Thriller look, but my must haves are the Smooth Criminal and BAD outfits...
I hope Bandai release that MJ Transformer mode he had in Moonwalker!

 

[Kuzeh]

I don't care about the future figure right now...
at least we got this one:

I wish the glove was right handed.

I wish the glove was right handed.

Why is that?
He used it on the left hand most times!!!

Now THATS Michael Jackson! I mean the time that took place in.

...my small tribute to Michael...R.I.P.

I know it's an opinion, but that look is most definitely iconic. His famous "moonwalk" was performed in that outfit. Jackson was famous already, but that move blew people's minds. With that said, I don't like that figure because it resembles Jackson. The sculpt is off. That's why many who have him don't show the face.

Yeah I know but they never based it on that one. History Tour is on the box which is from that video I posted?

I'm not criticizing it just I wanted accuracy. To me personally I think it looks cooler on the right.

Hot Toys seems to have based it on part timelines.
