InArt - Michael Jackson (Dangerous Tour) 1/6 Collectible Figure

[Chopper Face]

UK. I mean I have no idea if there's a risk with InArt direct (though they do say it's [rightfully] our responsibility) and the UK customs are pretty much jobsworth types.

It’s more than a risk. You’re essentially guaranteed to get burned big time on a pricey product like this considering Queen/InArt won’t declare a low value on the customs label.

On that note, why in the world is InArt putting the release as first half of 2025?

That’s to let the influencers know when to be ready to film their reviews.

Thriller, Bad, or Smooth Criminal would have been preferred.

Agreed. Not sure why they went with the HIStory look.

Ordered 2 one from kit and one from Inart.
I'm in the UK so curious to see how the process goes through inart.

I might sell one later but actually wanted the extra sculpt, potentially sell without sculpt and make back most of the cost for 1.

For now this guy will do! Who knows still hope for SC version.

I feel like this release requires multiple headsculpts. Currently he looks to stiff. For those who want to put him in a dance pose headsculpt may not favour the pose. Also it would have been nice to have a smiling expression to capture the essesnce of MJ. Big MJ fan never a desire to own him in 1/6 scale. This release is not tempting at all....pretty static and boring really.

Being from NY, I don’t think I’ve ever come across customs/duties with my parcels.

US has an ~$1600 threshold you have to cross before you get hit with taxes on outside packages. Found that out with my JND JL Superman statue

£39 for us in the UK anything over Tax man likes his cut oh and don't forget the handling fee

For example if I order from sideshow usually customs charge is anywhere between £60 -80 for a figure.

Lucky Americans, in Europe they charge 21% tax on any amount (my country at least) and another 3-4.5% if your package exceeds €150, so Kit really is the only way to go.

Why any of our fellow countrymen would do this is beyond me.
I’ve saved thousands by not buying from Sideshow.

Close. Dangerous tour (Bucharest most likely).

Smooth Criminal is a grail for most fans.

Looks.so.damn.good.

And very wise of them to show off the portrait without glasses.

I've only got 2 orders with them which is Artisan Joker and Jack sparrow. I wouldn't normally buy through them for that reason.

So over in Chinese social space some collectors are complaining the lack of accessories for MJ compared to other releases yet the price is still sky high.

Let's see if InArt responds to this issue.

 

[Godfather1408]

Gotta admit for that price I expected the rest of the stage. That sculpt is solid I don't get why they didn't show it off it looks incredible!

 

[Bleah]

Eh. Most likely it's the licensing fees that raised the price up.

 

[Earth 616 Collector]

I don't think people think about how every licensing fee costs are different. If MJ's likeness rights are higher, they are going to try and keep the price points similar by offering less accessories to off set the difference.

Perhaps they could have offered a little more and upped the price point to more around Gandalf at $520.

 

[evenflow]

I ordered it but feel like it’s over priced. Not getting much with it.

 

[SmoothEmjay]

Agree with the overpriced comments. But grabbing it just because a decent MJ figure of any sort has been a LONG time in the making.

Had this been 'Smooth Criminal' and come with accessories such as the oversized silver gun he uses briefly (or even the Tommy) then I'd have zero complaints.

This would of been incredible, Jukebox and wooden floor diorama with Tommy gun.

Who knows maybe in the future, I think smooth criminal would of definitely been a hit.

 

[JacktheRipper]

I think it looks better without the glasses. The glasses look toyish in some shots.
