I'm surprised BBTS doesn't have a pre-order up yet. They usually have one up instantly at even the slightest hint of a new HT release.

Zombie head is the one I'd prefer. Also, wasn't he wearing a letter jacket when he had the cat head?

Yep, he had a letter jacket in that scene.

I really hope they go with this sculpt,the more i look at the Smiling Head the more i dislike it,the first one we saw was perfect allready imo.Might be a tease that we might get 3 sculpts?Why would they show us pics of 2 different sculpts at the same time?

I think I actually prefer the smiling head juxtaposed with the zombie one.

Yeah, trying to milk his death much? Hopefully, toys2 won't try to capitalize as much as bbts. Disappointing.

Prices will come down. HT will make tons of these...

Not sure about the smiling sculpt. MJ didn't smile in that scene as I recall. Like the original sculpt better.

Yeah, that's pricey. There's two sets of clothes two very nice sculpts 11 different hands though. I won't be buying but it isn't because of the price.

If HT can make the production figure look this good then this'll be one of the nicest looking figures out there.

seems we're 50/50 on preferring the prototype/productions heads. Don't get that very often.

I'm not actually sure now how much of the difference IS the sculpt... a lot could be the paint & lighting. The new one has less 'make-up' on his eyes... his nose, chin and upper lip should be a little bit darker... more shadowed. And the eyes definitely look different somehow. But I wonder if it's just a minor sculpt tweak... with different paint apps.

hmm..... anyway, still the best MJ figure out there by a mile. I'm waiting for the best UK price before I order. (because I've already spent too much this year.. I'm not supposed to be spending a damn penny, lol)

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

Once I buy the figure, i'm gonna throw in the trash the clean jacket and the reg face sculpt.

Can I have it please?...
As a token of good will and peace?...

Well, it looks amazing!!
But, I agree, this face looks too happy...
I like it a lot, but doesn't give me a Thriller vibe, for some reason...
I prefer the original too... I wonder which one will be released, and I also wonder if they'll use the other one for a Billie Jean or Beat-It release?!!!

I'm also disappointed it doesn't come with Popcorn...
