This wonderful duo of Michael Jackson figurines a la Thriller were found by @Densho at WonderCon. (At least I think that's what the Spanish says...) The text on the poster reads "King of Pop Forever, 1958-2009." I am not a figurine collector, but if I was, I would totally get these.
When I was in Japan in February doing research for the 2D love story, I talked to several figurine makers and collectors. It's amazing how much detail goes into making them look perfect.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!
