Just ordered 2 of these guys from toy square. Needless to say I'm thrilled! I also preferred the first face sculpt though. But, I do like both. I think they both represent Michael equally well.

My question is how did they get these prepped and made so quick to offering? Was it a long-term thing they were working on and planned to release when he died, or was this just odd coincidence? I mean it takes a while to produce something remarkable like that.

I pre-ordered from BBTS a while back. Looks astounding.

Hot Toys got the MJ license last year, they released the Billie Jean and Cosbabies figures earlier this year.
The Thriller figure was already in the works when MJ died...
There's rumors of a third figure that was already in the works too...

His death is all a conspiracy! HT assassinated him so they could finally release the damn figure!

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.

This needs to be bumped for awesomeness.

It's the lighting and shadows you fool!

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



The pic is four times bigger than what we'll be getting. It might be that when the whole thing is shrunk down to proper size, it will appear the colours darken, as the image is compressed. Though the last pic looks like his upper lip is darker and his lower lip is much lighter.
