A doll dedicated to MJ’s record-breaking Thriller video
Michael Jackson’s performance in the Thriller music video will always have a special place in our heart. And the latest tribute to the King of Pop comes from a company called Hot Toys as it launches a 1/6th scale collectible figure of the star. This MJ doll is reminiscent of his look in the famous record-breaking Thriller music video of 1983.
They have ensured that the horror theme from the video is maintained in the toy as well. Each collectible figure comes with 2 interchangeable heads, one of MJs and the other of a zombie, plus there are the 2 different costumes (including the one in red that we see Jackson wearing in the video) that you can dress up the doll in. The doll is brown like MJ’s original skin color, which is a good thing because kids today think that the singer was always that horrifying shade of white. Five sets of interchangeable hands along with a posing right hand have been included in the package. Expected to rake in a lot of moolah from Jacko die-hards, the doll is limited for sale in Japan and Hong Kong only unless they open a shipping option too. The collectible is set to launch in December 2009 and will be available for approximately $255.
