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

Well I paid $189.99 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.

If that is the case, then I don't know why people are crying. That makes sense. I mean, this is a DX figure save the PERL system.

....which could presumably be used for black people from other countries?

*not all black people are american

No for MJ it has to be an AA slim. For other countries they'll need to make a completely new body and brand it as such

Ironic we've deviated to the topic of black/white on a MJ thread.

Oh, guess I'm just basing it on the prices I've paid. Both were ordered through Joe.

BR Joker was $149 shipped.
And MJ will be $205 shipped.

So an increase of $55.

W/B topic? I didn't even know about that. Shows how much of the crap I read on here. Probably was galboy, that damn white supremest! I kid gal!

Gal has taste. I can't believe how much toys we love and have in our collections that are similar.

Also, won't SSC be carrying these? I mean they are showcasing them in their booth at SDCC according to Hot Toys' site and press releases.

Doesn't Toys2.net get these first? Also, they are known to be cheaper than SSC and get their's out before everyone else.

That, and they are Canadian run and operated so shipping for me is cheaper and quicker.

I know its all confusing... not saying some increase wouldn't be justified, but just not sure that much.

Not that it matters, I ordered him so whaddyagonado?

Batman goes for 190... and comes with pretty much same number of extras... I think this is what we have to expect for PRICES that come with extras like this. Where the MJ lacks in the PERL system, it makes up in clothing accessories.

Exactly. What you get in this package for 190 is great.

It's not great. Lets not get that part confused. It's just a toy, and 190 is too much. But if we're willing to pay, then I understand, that is how it is. Plus the market for high end figures is around this. Look at Medicom figures, they go on average for around 160-175 USD. These are much better toys, and come with more accessories.

Either way, whining isn't going to bring down the price of these figures. You can do two things: Choose to move along and not order or live and accept that's what you have to pay and order the dang thing.

anyone know if SS is planning on any more female DEAD figures. We need decomposed female zombies to go with Michael. The babysitter looks like a cartoon

Ordered 2 from toys2

This is one of those cool collectibles that comes only every once in a while. Regardless if you do not collect 12" this seems like a must have.

I'm not sure , I've been using abc express for about 3 years now and whilst they seem to get hot toys stuff in the latest they have never let me down ( touch wood ) so I used them again.
I don't like paying up front on ebay but if I didn't that money would be gone fast.

Maybe not great per se, but right where it should be as you're pointing out. And to me, having this not be higher than it is considering it's MJ, it's great. Awesome to see it can sit around the prices of the other non-MJ stuff that come with this much.

This one puts the first version to shame.

I pre-ordered from Big Bad Toy Store this morning, then seeing how much cheaper it was from Toys2, cancelled my BBTS order and pre-ordered from Toys2. Just got the one, hopefully a new body will be available by the time he comes out
