Here we have a
new depth for the average US Elvis fan. We
really wonder who wants to buy this kind of sh*t,
but there seems to be a market for it... Anyway,
this is what EPE writes so enthusiastically:
Talking Presidents releases for sale the first
two of a line of “talking”
Elvis
action figures. The products will be available
to Graceland visitors and on-line at
ShopElvis.com and TalkingPresidents.com.
Standing 12 inches tall with fully pose-able
bodies, they “talk” in Elvis’ own voice. They
are displayed in an attractive collectible gift
box (measuring 16.5 inches tall).
Fans/Collectors Are Talking Too
Press the button on the back of the doll. The
micro-chip contains over a dozen sound bites of
Elvis in his own voice, only you won’t hear all
of those familiar song lyrics. Instead, it’s
Elvis talking. He talks about cars, women, early
success, his philosophy of life, telling
jokes... getting serious...
With all the Elvis memorabilia out there, it is
refreshing to have something new, a product that
is totally unique.
We researched all known original recordings and
radio interviews from the period (1954 - 1961),
selecting over a dozen of the most interesting
for each product. The result: you’ll “listen” to
an intimate, thoughtful, reflective, prophetic,
humorous, youthful, yet wise beyond his years
Elvis.
These collectible action figures provide fans a
side of the King they may not know. From the
detailed biography on the back of the boxes to
the beautiful photos found throughout, the
collectible gift box is a fitting tribute to the
King.
Talking Presidents worked meticulously with
Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. in every step of
the design process to produce an authentic and
authorized collectible. Even the “gold record”
found at the base of the packaging contains an
authorized re-creation of the famous SUN record
label.
The two products differ in look, photos,
sound-bites, and wardrobe (even the outfits are
recreated to exacting detail from actual
garments worn by Elvis, at that time). These are
true and interestingly original new collectibles
for Elvis fans
and collectors of all ages.
