Michael Jackson Dolls
Michael Jackson dolls are enjoying an amazing resurgence in popularity as collectors battle to scoop up memorabilia as quickly they can.
With the sad passing of Michael Jackson at the age of fifty, Americans who can remember his unprecedented explosion on the pop scene are clamoring for Michael Jackson memorabilia. One of the popular items people are grabbing up quickly, is the Michael Jackson doll. It is hard to believe that these dolls actually are pushing the "vintage" category. Certainly they aren't as rare as an original Barbie, but they are pushing the thirty year mark and many have no doubt been lost to the cleaning purges that so often happen when kids grow up and lose interest in the idols of their pre-teen and teenage years. The dolls came in a variety of packages and featured items like the well known glove and socks that were worn by the singer on stage and in his music videos.

The dolls are just the beginning though. Since his untimely death, tens of thousands of auctions have sprung up offering every imaginable piece of Michael Jackson memorabilia. Of course albums are a huge seller. They were being collected anyway. But other suddenly popular collectibles include t-shirts, concert programs, posters, concert ticket stubs, and pins.
Seeing a flood of memorabilia for sale after a stars death is not uncommon, but middle aged fans of Michael Jackson are not that far removed from the glory days that included the meteoric rise of the Thriller album to the top of the charts. They are scrambling to grab up as many relics as they can to memorialize the "King of Pop" as they are forced to deal with their own mortality. "Thriller" and "Beat it" dolls that are still in their original boxes are being snapped up at a record rate by these fans and other doll collectors who enjoy collecting celebrity dolls.
Although he was not in the spotlight quite as much in recent years, Michael Jackson is obviously still appreciated by his fans and his immeasurably huge influence upon the pop music scene will be felt for years to come.
