Back in July (click here) we gave the original word of the magnificent "Thriller" figure of Michael Jackson being brought to the world by Hot Toys. From day one we knew MJ and horror fans were finally going to get their definitive Michael Jackson "Thriller" figure and that's exactly what Sideshow and Hot Toys has brought us....

Follow up:

There is some exciting news on the Thriller front with that being if you haven't gotten your pre-order in for the figure yet, Sideshow Collectibles has now put it up for sale on their site. Sideshow is allowing pre-orders for the ultra realistic figure for $189.99 plus shipping, so if you're inclined to own an amazing figure like this we'd suggest getting your order in now. Sideshow is giving a tentative release date of 1st quarter 2010 and we have a feeling this will be a fast sell out, call us fortune tellers, it's just a hunch.

Now onto the final version of the pics and the description for Sideshow's site. This is the exact version that will ship early of '10.
