Album cover poster

It’s ironic but true that when a major celebrity passes away, themed merchandise becomes a hot item. Between collectors, who inevitably see the value of collectibles increase, and fans for whom themed products have symbolic or sentimental value, the market for themed merchandise inevitably grows (for a while).

Here’s a quick survey of some of the more popular Jackson related gadgets that you’ll find.

A 24x36 poster of Michael Jackson’s album covers makes for a great and inexpensive gift or wall decoration for fans.

Houston, we have a problem...

Computer geeks might like the Michael Jackson mouse pad, where his moonwalk poses a new problem for mission control.

Dolls can be high value collectibles

Serious collectors might jump at the chance to pick up a Michael Jackson collectible doll – prices range from a few hundred to $2000.

Zippo memorial lighter

The Michael Jackson Zippo Lighter is actually very elegant – one of the more tasteful memorials you’ll find. You’ll find other memorial plaques as well (manufacturer’s sure didn’t waste any time).

For those whose fandom is a bit more intense (or perhaps morbid), there’s the Michael Jackson Wig and Sunglasses kit – likely to be a hot item this Halloween.
