I didn’t even know Playmates was planning to release a line of Michael Jackson toys, but here’s the full reveal.

They’re releasing 2 10 inch figures to start, one in the Billie Jean style, one in the Thriller style. They both have 37 points of articulation and fabric clothing, so it’s no surprise they come in at $40.

Both are available for preorder already at Entertainment Earth. Billie Jean version, Thriller version.

Michael Jackson Impressive Pose statue aka the reverse bust statue

My first thought upon seeing this was “….seriously?”. Actually, that’s been every thought of mine since I saw it. I can’t imagine paying well over $100 for a pair of legs, no matter how well posed and sculpted they might be. I’ll give them props, it’s pretty damn unique if nothing else. Available for preorder at all your favourite import shops.
