Who's Bad? Two New Michael Jackson Figures Coming in July

In honor of the passing of the King of Pop, the one and only Micheal Jackson, I thought it would be nice to point our dear readers toward two upcoming releases from toy-makers Yamato USA showcasing Jacko as seen in both his Bad and Thriller videos.

Now, technically, these aren't action figures, as they possess no articulation whatsoever, making them actually "figurines," but for this one time I'll make an exception now that he's doing doing the moonwalk in the sky. It would be hard to find any American who grew up in the '70s and '80s who didn't tap their foot to the numerous Michael Jackson hits, so for those of a collectible bent, they may find these figures just the thing to honor the man with one glittering glove.

Yamato originally released a Micheal Jackson Thriller Zombie figure which fans will remember from the groundbreaking dance scene from the music video. That figure is now one of the hardest collectibles to find and is cold sold out at most retailers. So don't miss the boat on the next two!
