EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW: Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall Shopping Spree For Wax Heads
Aug. 7 2009, Published 5:01 a.m. ET
Superstar Michael Jackson’s spending sprees on weird and wonderful objects were legendary.
And RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal that the King Of Pop’s final purchase ranked with his strangest after he splashed-out $9,000 on these three macabre medical wax anatomy figures.
Jackson visited the Off The Wall antiques store on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles just before he died with his three kids Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket, all in tow.
The performer instantly took an interest in the two French wax heads and leg which were made in the late 19th Century.
One head is skin and brains on one side, and muscles on the opposite side – the other is skeletal on one side with muscles on the opposite side.

The leg shows muscle and bone and all the pieces are detailed to the finest extreme and were used in medical schools as aids.
