[Product Introduction] Hot Toys' "Mycon" series welcomes its long-awaited third installment: Michael Jackson. The Bad version is included in the lineup as a tribute to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. This deluxe item features a groundbreaking Parallel Eyeball Rolling System (PERS). PERS is a new function that allows the pupil to move and focus just like a human eye. Released in 1987, four years after the monster hit of Thriller, the album Bad set another unprecedented record. The music video for the title track "Bad" was directed by filmmaker Martin Scorsese and is a high-quality short film that surpasses even Thriller. The MJ style, which fuses visuals, music, and dance and became a staple of the music scene thereafter, can be said to have started with Thriller and been perfected with Bad. Standing approximately 30 centimeters tall, this figure boasts over 38 points of articulation and comes with seven interchangeable hand parts, faithfully sculpted down to the fingertips, allowing you to recreate numerous memorable dance scenes from the music video. The newly sculpted head, licensed for Michael Jackson's likeness, perfectly captures his distinctive hairstyle from the time of "Bad"'s release. His clear eyes and makeup are meticulously hand-painted for ultimate realism. Furthermore, PERS technology enhances the sense of his gaze, creating an overwhelming presence. In addition to the "Bad" costume worn on the album cover and in the music video, the figure also includes the costume from "Dirty Diana," the single that reached No. 1 in the US. This truly deluxe item allows for customizable outfits. The 2009 film "This Is It" reportedly grossed more in Japan than in the UK, the country he chose for his final performance. This is an item that new fans who encountered Michael for the first time through this film should definitely consider! *This product includes only one figure body.

[Artwork Introduction]
"Michael Jackson" The King of Pop = Michael Jackson. As a symbol of pop music, Michael Jackson will forever shine in the history of world music. Michael had over 25 number one hits worldwide, and including his time with the Jackson 5 and his solo career at Motown, he produced over 30 number one hits. His first solo album from EPIC, "Off the Wall," released in 1979, was the first by a solo artist to produce four top 10 hits from a single album. With hits like "Don't Stop Talking Tonight" and "Rock With You," it marked the beginning of Michael Jackson's long reign on the charts. And with the release of "Thriller," Michael Jackson's position as the King of Pop became unshakeable. "Thriller" sold over 100 million copies worldwide, and is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the best-selling album of all time. It also holds the record for the most Grammy Awards won, with eight. Seven of the nine tracks on the album were released as singles, all of which reached the US Top 10, and the album spent 37 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Albums Chart. Singles from 'Thriller,' such as "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and "Thriller," are overflowing with supreme thrill. After that, Michael Jackson's pace never slowed down. In 1987, he released 'Bad.' Starting with the first single, "Can't Stop Loving You," he set a new record of five consecutive No. 1 singles from the same album in the US, solidifying his position as the King of Pop.
