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.
