The Estate of Michael Jackson just sent the below statement regarding new merchandise made in China to be released shortly.
While the statement does not say what collectible, we can reveal it will be a Smooth Criminal 1:3 Scale statue of Michael Jackson.
The high-end item will be available from tomorrow at a high price but the Estate reassure that more affordable items will be also available. Prices on Purearts vary between $89 to over $1,000 for 1:3 statues!

The Estate has asked us to share some news with MJ fans. The Estate has been working with a company based in China, Pure Arts, which manufactures and distributes collectible figures for a variety of different brands and will now be creating a wide range of collectible Michael Jackson figurines to appeal to all levels of collectors.

While this piece is quite expensive, fans can be assured that subsequent releases will include options with much more affordable prices as well.

Glad we’re not starting from scratch again and going back to Thriller. Not that I don’t love Michael in Thriller, but it’s been done so many times, while later eras have languished. Smooth Criminal is a great place to start, and certainly ICONIC MJ.
Brazil loves Michael Jackson.
