Hot Toys Michael Jackson Thriller?

[Sir Tristram]

Oh my god....Is he lip syncing that? That is the recording of Billie Jean...What the hell? I don't remember it being lip synced.

Anyway, I was caught today my reporters at the theater where I work and one of our musical teachers was a no show for an interview about MJ and so I did it. I had a picture of what my room looked like in 1984 and it was MJ city! I was a huge fan when I was a kid. It's going to be on at 6:00pm locally. PRetty funny. It was actually a sit down interview with three parts. Crazy.

Street Dance Zombie Michael all the way. Although I'd also buy the Smooth Criminal (Moonwalker) white suit version too.

 

[Paulim17]

Here's my bet (and whishes): Smooth Criminal Version now, because it would be very easy to do. Later and possible in 2010, a DX Thriller Michael Jackson.

 

[lerath666]

Thriller DX, with three heads, and red street dance outfit.,

 

[THX-182]

I so badly want his Moonwalker Smooth Criminal outfit. Damn he looked smooth in that thing:

 

[shandy_man]

i'm all in for a Thriller "Street Dance" figure as well as a Smooth Criminal version. Those would probably be the only figures I will pick up if they do continue the line since there's so many possibilities for numerous versions of MJ

 

[OSCORP]

Bring it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hydeous]

Thriller and smooth criminal, and I'll be a very happy man. :chew:chew

 

[Dally]

I would want Thriller street dance version.

 

[Rock83]

Smooth Criminal and Thriller would be a dream come true for me

Nope it looks like it's poor encoding by whomever ripped it, you notice it gets more and more out of sync as it goes on. That's caused by the encoder re-encoding it with the wrong framerate to the original. so it it's encoded at 29.97 frames per second (NTSC) but has come from a PAL source (24 frames per second) the video will get ahead of the audio. If it's done in reverse the audio will get ahead of the video. Which is what's happened there.

Though you are right about the music not being matched up correctly, I believe that he did lip synch that perfomance.

 

[IrishJedi]

Well... I said most times...
The first time he performed it:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/-SlWIaYkFI4&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/-SlWIaYkFI4&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Man,
I can't believe he's gone...

The Michaeal Jackson in that video has been gone for years.

And yes that's totally lip-synced. Still a legendary dance performance, though.

 

[Valfar]

If Hot Toys makes a Thriller version Jackson with alternate heads or something and the sculpts are good, its a buy for me..pure nostalgic goodness..the only MJ i will own will be Black not the creepy bleached MJ..thats when weirdy weird stuff happends.

Man,

I remember watching that performance over and over on my Betamax. Damn, that moonwalk was fine! :chew

HT probably originally planned for only a few versions and Thriller is a Definite lock for one of them. The announcement to come in a few weeks is for a figure they already developed which is likely not the SC Version.

But now, they can do more Versions within the line before capping the line with a DX. BAD, SC, Thriller, etc. SC seems to be a very Popular Version, and you're right, easy to do, so they may very well do that as well now.

 

[Kuzeh]

I was just posting the same on the other thread...
Maybe a SC or Bad... I agree...

 

[Star Puffs]

The Michaeal Jackson in that video has been gone for years.

Too true. I would love a figure of him from Thriller to remember him at his best.

Man,
I can't believe he's gone...

For this brief moment in time, he truly was a god amongst mere mortals. Damn that is impressive.
