Re: HOT TOYS- M ICON- MIS09- Michael Jackson (Thriller version) Spec and pics

The MJ figure and future potential MJ figures might be the only single character to evoke demand of both a white and black slim body.

Screw it, you guys convinced me. Scratch one more off Toys2.

I figure if I change my mind about it, I'll be able to turn it around without taking a loss, so whatever. Probably keep it though - I'm not a big fan or anything, but he was the King of Pop, after all, and this was definitely a classic moment in the '80s overall...

(I just hope preorders for the Matrix stuff doesn't come out too soon, or I'll be a broke man!)

You won't Bob. This is the cheapest you'll get the figure.

I've PRE ORDERED my figure from ABCEXPRESSTOYS on their website for $170! :banana
 
Re: HOT TOYS- M ICON- MIS09- Michael Jackson (Thriller version) Spec and pics

Crap... Toys2 is taking an awful long time to process for some reason... Heavy traffic?

Edit: NVM, seems like I got the receipt in my email inbox, the site must just be screwed up a bit.

Scratch that! You won't be getting it cheaper than from those guys and 190 will be very cheap come a year down the road from now. I don't foresee 800 dollar prices for these figures, but 400+ definitely.

Yeah well where do you live? ABC's shipping can be up to $40+ to ship to North America and parts of Europe.

I'm going to have to ask Hot Toys about the head during ComicCon...
I wonder why are they showing the better head at the Japan Toy fair?...

I'm from germany & I'll pay $38 for the shipping, but the final price (incl. shipping) will be less than €150 EUR for me. IF the figure will make it as a import to a german store it'll be probably impossible to get it under €250-260 EUR! So I'm very happy with the deal from ABCEXPRESSTOYS!

You are not right many times but I find myself agreeing with you on this.

:lol

This figure may or may not suppose to have been sold for $100 to 150 originally but not now, not after Michael's death. Everyone will be trying to profit from it so I'm sure no one will be willing to sell this figure under $170.

Also even at $190 (in my opinion) the price still isn't bad, $190 for THRILLER + $30 for the (hopefully) African American Slim body = $220. If you divide that that's only $110 each for two Michael Jackson figures, you're not going to find many if any Hot Toys figures for that price. The current Michael Jackson Billie Jean/History tour version is selling for $600 plus, I’m sure it didn’t retail for that.

toys2.net says :

Pre-order: available in Nov 2009
 
Re: HOT TOYS- M ICON- MIS09- Michael Jackson (Thriller version) Spec and pics

If they would have made the Werewolf/Werecat thing he turned into at the beginning of the video as an interchangeable feature, I would have bought one. But I'll pass without that feature.:monkey3
 
Re: HOT TOYS- M ICON- MIS09- Michael Jackson (Thriller version) Spec and pics

weird thing after placing my order at toys2.net it says :

Order status: Processed

shouldn't it say something like pre-ordered?
 
Re: HOT TOYS- M ICON- MIS09- Michael Jackson (Thriller version) Spec and pics

Oh crap......I broke down an ordered one.

$214.72 w/ shipping for a 1/6 figure :horror I never would of thought I'd pay that for a non-custom piece and I don't collect any 1/6 out of Star Wars. So goes the power of the thriller.With that said, since MJ's passing, I've been feeling very Nostalgiac for the Eighties.

This will be my first Hot Toys figure. I have never even seen one in person, so I guess I get to see what all the hype is, although the pictures are always amazing.
