Wow, I haven't blogged on here for a while, guess have been too busy with college work, hairdressing and kids! But I have a few minutes spare so might as well have a quick catch up!

Michael Jackson Thriller doll!

Wow! I have always liked vinyl toys but as they are very expensive I don't really buy them unless I think the detail and quality is outstanding, the only collectables I have are the Chucky and Tifanni dolls from Child's play, (I have the sideshow official ones they are the best in terms of detail and accuracy!) I also have the wall-e toys, (the big ones that talk etc) and 4 of the Michael Jackson cosbaby's by "hot toys" these are awesome but very badly made, I had about 3 of them break and they needed replacing or glueing together, they were £20 each roughly and I got them from China, they are official but maybe because they are so small and fiddly that is why the bad build problems? However this new figure due to come out before X-mas, (yes I know it is a cash in but I have to have it, it is amazing! I have never seen such a good representation of the king of pop such as this one!) in fact I have already pre-ordered my model as it is set to sell out instantly and then you know the price will probably double, yes it is very pricey, at £179.00 or you can get it for around £125 on e bay but then you have to risk it coming from China, possible damage, issues with customs, hassle of return if there is a fault etc so I might just buy mine here in the UK, that way you can put a deposit down now and pay the rest when it's released!

Anyway here are some pictures and you will see what I mean about the quality! take a look:

There was also a "billie Jean" version released before this one, which doesn't look no-where near as good as this one, what put me off that one was the way the head is joined, there is a line around the jaw and it looks "odd" this ones seems to join better so you don't get that obvious line, I also like his face better here, he looks adorable with his amazing smile and you get 2 heads! what could be better than a mini-Michael Jackson figurine all for yourself! expensive but worth it in my opinion! I paid over £200 for the 4 absolute sandman novels so why not pay a bit less than that for this? I guess it depends on what you are like with money and how much you are willing to pay for it! but for me it's a definite! any one else gonna buy one?

Below is a pic of the Michael Jackson Cosbaby set

And some images of the "Billie jean" doll...

And here is a picture I found of some Michael figures that are up for auction, staring with a lifesize wax model on the left!

Michael Jackson tribute tattoos

I have been following Michael Jackson tattoo's on the net since his death to see what people are getting and at first there wasn't much but now there seems to be an abundance of them which is very comforting to know, I myself got one quickly when I heard the news of his signature and I plan to get a portrait of him added to it.

One in story in particular on the asian news.co.uk caught my attention, which covers a devout muslim mother who has had an MJ tattoo on her arm and is being called a sinner by her community for getting a tattoo, well I have to say I rate this women for being strong and standing up to her family and the community for what she believes in and that is Michael!

here is Fatima's and others tribute tattoo's, (I will add my own when I get home)

The Game on Michael

I found the above link and found it very refreshing to read about some-one who seems to care som much for Michael in the celeb world, well obviously millions of people care for Michael but I liked how the game went out and did all this for him in one day and how he is giving 100% of the proceeds to Michael's family and children, unlike some.

I am starting this blog because I have had enough of all the scammers out there trying to make money from Michael's death, especially small time nobody's on E bay! It all started with a T-shirt that is available in from next clothing.co.uk for £18 with Michael on it, finished in sequins and silver panels, I looked it up on E bay out of curiosity, (I was already planning on going into next ASAP to get one for myself) and then I saw one going on a bid for over £50!! then the next day the same seller must have gone out and bought several more and has since listed them all again in the hopes of making over £50 for each of them! what a profit! well it makes me sick! I would NEVER sell anything of mine to do with Michael no matter how much money I needed or wanted, it just sickens me that people are trying to cash in on his death this way, then of course you have the endless flood of books and DVDS that all come out after his death, containing nothing authoritative or well-researched, just recycled media crap banged into a book to make a quick buck!

I will add a picture of the T-shirt when I get home for those of you who want to see what it looks like, but you can also check the next website, Amplified are also doing some fabulous MJ tops at a normal retail price of £30 which is on average what their tops cost anyway so they are not adding on more pounds just because it is Michael, there is an E bay seller called "honcho-store" that are good for MJ tops and they do not charge over the RRP prices! they have a website too you can google, just please don't go giving these scamming money grabbing bastards what they want by paying over the odds on e bay, they should not be getting away with making money from such a beautiful persons death, I think what the game said about Michael being the most cried about person since Jesus was so right, I don't think there is anyone else in the history of mankind that has that kind of an impact on the world.

and he will be missed so much by millions, I for one can't stop listening to his music and reading his books, watching his concerts, reading about him etc and anything I can to feel close to this amazing soul that once was and still will be if we all keep his legacy alive. R.I.P. Michael Jackson, a modern day Jesus Christ who will live on in out hearts forever. x
