ELVIS THE ARMY YEARS - THE ELVIS PRESLEY COLLECTION - #21912 - MATTEL 1999

I first started working with Mattel in 1985 in their Samples Department. In 1988 I began writing toy fair scripts, videos, marketing skits, custom songs and other creative projects for Barbie, Hot Wheels, Disney, Nickelodeon He-Man and other classic toys at Mattel. My first email address was mrbarbie@aol.com and you can still reach me there.

This toy is part of my personal collection and has been archived by me, Joe Galliani, the creator of the Street Sharks, and President of Mr. Joe's Really Big Productions for over two decades in my home's attic.

Elvis was at the height of his fame when he was inducted into the U. S. Army on March 24, 1958. He refused any special privileges as a soldier, and managed to finish his two-year-stint having achieved the rank of sergeant. This authentic Elvis Presley doll commemorates the King's years in the army. He wears a re-creation of his winter dress uniform, decorated with platoon patches and insignias. Sporting a crewcut, he stands at ease with a hat under his arm and an army issue duffel by his side. The figure comes with a miniature framed photo of Priscilla Beaulieu and a letter from her addressed to Elvis in Bad Nauheim, Germany, where he was stationed. The fully posable collectible doll stands 12 inches tall and comes with a display stand.

The package and contents are in visually perfect condition. Photos are of this specific toy for sale. Please review carefully and thoroughly as all sales are final and no refunds will be issued.
