The Good Smile Company and Max Factory have reproduced a new [polyvinyl figurine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berbrick-vecna) in the Moonwalker’s image, which shall be released in July. Clothed in an orange and black bodysuit and still sporting his then famous curly hair, the [Thriller-era Jackson](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix) is [fully articulated](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-toys-2) and comes with a clear plastic mounting allowing him to support him in an upright position for display.
