(Picture Source: Hot Toys Ltd)

It was sad to hear the sudden death of Michael Jackson earlier this morning. Due to this incident, most of the Ebay sellers have increased the price of its related mechandise, toys and collectibles today. Since Hot Toys had issued 12inch Michael Jackson collectible figures in Billie Jean version, will Hot Toys issue another version of Michael Jackson collectible figures this year?

With Hot toy track record, yes they will. When people die, they just rise the price... sad...

Don't know HT can still get the licence or not. Let's wait and see..

i'd only get a jackson figure if they release the BEAT IT video version with that red racing jacket...


that's bloody iconic to me.
its everything to my rock and roll music world! my fav song from him was beat it. and its one hell of a song to cover live on stage with the riffs and solo.

and its a serious pity he had to go.

Yes Joshua, so sad to hear that. No choice, that's fate we cannot change. Anyway, I hope HT will release a more accurate likeness of MJ in the future..

IF Hottoy going to do the BEAT IT, they have to change the tone of the body and the face as well. Hot toy can however do costumes for all MJ hit but that will be bad for business. I think Hottoy may do BAD soon as that is more to the figure they just release.

I do however hope mcfarlane do MJ series like Elvis. That is more appealing to me.

Think they almost definitely will, and then pass it off as a tribute.

Dennis aka Katsuden said...

What a tribute to the 'King of Pop'. Now that he had passed away, people would think back his past contributions to the music industry rather was 'Wacko Jacko'.

Leon, we should wait and see..I think whatever version the toy companies release, people will buy as a memorial of MJ.

Kenny - agree with you..
Dennis - This is always the case, when they are here, we don't treasure and we sometimes complain. But when they are gone, we would think back the merit of those people and try hard to remember them forever..
