Michael Jackson Pop! Rocks Vinyl Figures by Funko





Late last week Funko announced it will be releasing an all new wave of Pop! Rocks vinyl figures featuring the King of Pop, Michael Jackson! Each figure features Michael in an outfit from one of his many hit music videos striking an all too familiar pose. The Michael Jackson Pop! Rocks Series includes “Beat It” Michael, “Billie Jean” Michael and “Smooth Criminal” Michael (all three classics in The Blot’s humble opinion). Here’s hoping “Thriller” and “Bad” Michael Jackson vinyl figures aren’t too far behind! What song would you like to see immortalized in vinyl?

Each Michael Jackson Pop! Rocks vinyl figure stands 3.75” tall, has a rotating head and comes in a displayable window box. Each MJ vinyl figure will retail for $9.99 and is scheduled to ship sometime in January 2012.

Oh my god, those are SO CUTE. I MUST have the Smooth Criminal one. Those had BETTER come to Canada.

I have a 'Day of the Dead' Michael that my Nana got me from Mexico. He's got a headset microphone, and one of his hands is painted white. He kinda freaks me out, because when he's on my shelf there is the odd occasion in which he shakes as if the base was uneven on the bottom and someone disturbed the shelf.

MJ design Japanese 'Pachinko' (game machine) that plays 'Thriller'.


MICHAEL JACKSON - THE PACHINKO

THE KING OF POP LIVES ON!


This extremely rare machine is in excellent condition. Manufactured by Newgin in 2006. The play field has been cleaned with a professional Pica cell cleaner to clean and wax the surface. This machine has it all, lights, sound and action. Plays the hit tune "Thriller" during each spin. It has a really cool feature in a touch sensitive metal plate that is used as a chance button but when there is no chance in play you can press it up to 5 times per round to display literally hundreds of different images of Michael through out his career.

Volume controls are fitted so perfect for home use (these machines are notoriously loud). Also included is a plastic ball tray, 200 pachinko balls and a door key which is essential if you plan to mount the machine in a cabinet (not included).

There are several more detailed pictures on the link

You are not gonna believe this one...

Part of our "Pop Saints" series, this prayer candle celebrates the uber-talented enigma known as The King of Pop. We've taken the form and style of religious devotional candles and put our glittery spin on them.

Our original "prayer to Saint Michael" is written with deep and honest affection. This one was probably the most difficult to write of the series, despite how much has been written about him since his death. He was such a strange/unique/unknowable/larger-than-life icon; this is our personal take on Michael's incredible contribution to pop culture.

White wax candle in glass open-necked holder is coated with our special translucent glitter technique, which adds dimension and subtle sparkle even when candle is not lit. Image overlay is fade, scratch and water resistant. Candle will burn for approximately 100 hours; of course you'd never leave a burning candle unattended.
8" tall, 2.5" diameter

Designed and handmade by Trixie & Beever of Barbie's Basement Jewellery in Toronto.

This is so bizarre.
Amen & Sha'mone ? :upside_down:
 
Anyone interested in this item will need to 'hop to it'. Ashoo!, sorry no, 'a shoe'! Designer sample. I wonder if these were ever put into production? Date of manufacture seems to be 2009 (Actually, there is another one, but its a different colour).

I'm not sure how collectable this is...it is an art project and not a 'fixed' piece..but could be re-created!

The following portraits were created from cds. For the inauguration of First Floor Under, a pop-vanguard culture magazine, artists Moreno De Turco and Mirco Pagano spent more than 200 hours lining up the CDs to recreate the portraits of seven world-famous musicians: Bob Marley, Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, Jimmy Hendrix, Michael Jackson, James Brown, and Freddie Mercury.

This is a figure of Michael in the Marzipan museum, Szabo, Hungary

http://[URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/132/zmarzipanmuseumhungarym.png/][/URL]

One of the few "quirky" museums in Hungary, the Marzipan Museum boasts several rooms full of glass-enclosed displays. Scenes from Disney films, such as 101 Dalmations, Mickey Mouse, and Cinderella are all sculpted from almond paste, as are a range of folktales, fairy tales, and cultural icons. The life-size Michael Jackson is actually made of a combination of marzipan and white chocolate, while Princess Di is pure marzipan. The spectacular Hungarian Parliament building (in Budapest) is also represented down to the tiniest detail, and not to be missed. Visitors are offered a sample of Szabo's marzipan upon entry, and the museum includes a shop where figural and traditional confections may be purchased.

Much though I love Michael, I am not sure I could live with this version (with or without whiskers)!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MICHAEL-J...lm_TV_Film_Memorabilia_LE&hash=item19d923084b

This was produced by a friend of mine in L.A who works in the movie biz and friends with Thriller director John Landis. Based off of Rick Baker's make-up on Michael from the video Thriller. Made by a proffesional FX artist in California, that has done numerous film work, video work and collector bust for over 15 years in the business. Note he did not do the Michael Jackson Video. This is a close as it gets. Nothing was spared on this beautifull figure. In respect to the Late Michael Jackson, this will be a very very limited figure. This is a fullsize 1/1 scale Thriller wolf. Stands 5'11" - 6'11" with pedistal base. L atex and poly foam - steel armature. R esin eyes/teeth/and claws. C ustom outfit, including leather letterman's jacket. B urgundy pennyloafers and... NFT modacrylic fur ( I have not attacked* his whiskers they are supplied and are packed. )

*I think they mean attached...freudian slip! NB I am not- and do not know- the seller...The text above is from the description on ebay
