Kuzeh: Just got back. They would only let me buy one. I went back to try and get another one thinking maybe they wouldn't recognize me and they were sold out. However, the girl told me they would have more tomorrow morning. Try again. I will try again and see if I can get you one.
Oh by the way, it's expensive! $80 each!! WTF!

Can you post some in hand pics of this? I would LOVE to see it!

So I'm going to play the part of perfectionist, super picky fan here. But I should if I'm paying as much for a figure of MJ as they ask. I made a few slight adjustments, they don't have to do much major to it. But the likeness was far better before.

I made it look more like MJ, I made the eyes slightly bigger, eyebrows more prominent, jaw line and face slightly smaller and softer, chin not as sharp, and the nose of course smaller to better match the thriller era, and I fixed the "helmet" hair, and brought the hair down closer to his eyes. Oh and I put some slight darken around the eyes since he always wore makeup around them, before getting eyeliner tattooed on them.

Reference:

Basically I think the sculpt needs a rehaul in order to look more like MJ.

Looks great, Star. The HT face does seem too wide.

Now that I look at the Thriller pics and the HT figure I really think the look is somewhat off.

Your touch up does help the figure look more like him, maybe Hot Toys themselves will continue to try to improve on the sculpt before they finally release it.

I pre-ordered two from Toys2 yesterday. I'm hoping in time that I can sell the second and make enough off that to make the cost of the one I keep a little more palatable.

The Smooth Criminal is surely just a matter of time...

I'd really like to see a Grammy's/White House version over anything else - I really like his look there. I think a custom outfit on the Thriller figure could work well enough to make me happy.

I thought it was shipping early/late Q3 in the next few months!

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

his irises need to be bigger and darker... thats part of the likeness problem too i think

Oh I know, but I mean, it's not that huge of a delay. Maybe they're taking the extra time to tweak the sculpt? If that's the case, the wait is a good thing. At any rate it's nothing to get too excited about, imo.

That is a very cool look, reminiscient of the Beatles in Sgt. Pepper... Very cool. It would make an excellent figure.

Not sure i think the Photoshopped Pic makes it look more like Michael but I sure hope HT improve it so it looks more like him.

So the end-product will likely to look like which prototype? Latino Smiling MJ or the original MJ?
