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

He started off his preorders at 120 and there are 113 left now. Still I think it will take about 2 weeks to sell out.

Now there's 112 left. :naughty

2 weeks is still pretty quick - if you consider how many MJ fans there are, how many HT collectors there are, the cheaper price than say, BBTS, & if there are as many people buying two as there seems to be, that 113 will be down to zero in no time!

Oh yeah I know and yes 2 weeks is fast for a $200 figure. I'm just saying it will take a little while.

Where do you guys see how many are left :confused::confused::confused:
 
Re: HOT TOYS- M ICON- MIS09- Michael Jackson (Thriller version) Spec and pics

But are there many Canadian MJ and HT fans? That is the important question :lol

I'm actually wondering if this is the start of a new price structure for MJ. While he is a great looking figure (and comes with lots of hands and an extra head and extra outfit). I would say this is still more in line with a $140-$150 price tag based on previous figures.

BR Joker is comparable or Two Face, just not sure the $50 jump is to cash in on MJ fever, or if its a sign of things to come.

got my order in at Toys2 before they sell out
 
Re: HOT TOYS- M ICON- MIS09- Michael Jackson (Thriller version) Spec and pics

bbts has it listed for preorder for $235.

That depends who you order from,you can rely on ABC-Express on ebay,never had any problems with them and ive pre-ordered from them many times.

I have already preordered it at ABC Express, just couldn't resist any more!...so can I trust in this company man?...they do have a decent price and also good shipping fees to Mexico!
 
Re: HOT TOYS- M ICON- MIS09- Michael Jackson (Thriller version) Spec and pics

Without a doubt, I will be getting this!!! :rock

2 things are holding me back.

1) Price Tag - this is a 160 Fig

2) Smile Sculpt - I hope HT confirms which they'll use but it's now looking like the Proto Sculpt with inapproriate expression for Thriller

Maybe MJ's likeness is more expensive than some other properties. Or maybe it went up since his death. Joe's got to pay for that world tour.

It's not the License fees because those were set with the Contract with HT long ago. BJ Fig was much less with same likeness deal.

This is greed run amok. I hope prices come down with 2nd run. The edition size for this may be quite large. If the ES is smaller, makes more sense.
 
Re: HOT TOYS- M ICON- MIS09- Michael Jackson (Thriller version) Spec and pics

The Billie Jean was just one outfit and one head though...

True, also came with a glove, hat and mic stand. Still 200 is alot for this. If it had PERS eyes and yellow eyes head it might make more sense. Oh, and popcorn box too! :D
 
Re: HOT TOYS- M ICON- MIS09- Michael Jackson (Thriller version) Spec and pics

Yep, $200 is too much... so either cashing in on recent events, or this is a new increase in price.

I'm actually thinking the latter.
 
Re: HOT TOYS- M ICON- MIS09- Michael Jackson (Thriller version) Spec and pics

Well I paid $189.99 :monkey3 I remember when the BR Joker came out it was priced at $159.99 and it only came with an extra head, I don't remember any complaining (price) back then.

Its a borderline DX figure so I find the price realistic.

Still, one must have this. Better to pay this price than ebay prices.

Also, companies like SideShow permit retailers to sell over their MRSP, even suspending their ability to sell product. I learned this through a seller. I don't know what Hot Toys policies are, but it maybe similar. Or maybe not.
