Collector's Edition Boxed Set Elvis '68 Special Review

Collector's Edition Boxed Set Elvis '68 Special
Average Reviews:

I'll give this toy kudos for originality but the quality of the toy was terrible! I swear it takes a person with a PhD in Engineering to figure out how to put the toy together. Elvis' chair broke apart while I was trying to assemble it. My suggestion is that if you're going to buy this toy, keep it in its box and display the box (plus it might be an investment in the long run). If you want to remove the toy from the box, have some super glue handy because you will need it. In theory the idea of the Elvis Comeback '68 toy was genius, but in reality the quality of the toy was bad. The only durable part of the toy was the Elvis doll himself. This is sad, a toy that's supposed to be a tribute to Elvis turned out to be of poor quality. Elvis would have been disappointed....

Seen as both a career milestone for the "King" and a watershed moment in Tv history, Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special brought the legend back to his fans and revitalized his musical career.
Fearing that he had abandoned performing live in favor of acting in movies, many speculated that Elvis' musical career was finished.

The '68 Comeback Special featured Elvis on stage with his guitar, surrounded by a sold-out audience. Regarded by many as his artistic resurrection, Elvis returned to glory, reminding the world why he was indisputably the "King of Rock 'N Roll."

This figure is re-released to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the passing of one of history's greatest recording artists. Includes 6" Elvis figure with chair, guitar and microphone.

Elvis and Priscilla Barbie Doll Giftset Review

Elvis and Priscilla Barbie Doll Giftset
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was lucky enough to get my Elvis and Priscilla dolls for a lesser price than this particular retailer is asking. Your best bet, however, would be to buy the dolls from Amazon as they are impossible to find in brick-and-mortar stores (such as Walmart, Target) after selling-out of them in early August.
The dolls are beautiful and nicely packaged. They are NOT positioned hand-in-hand like in the picture, but rather side-by-side in the box. The dolls are 11.5 inches high which makes them as tall as your average Barbie.
Mattel did both Priscilla and Elvis justice in making the dolls look very real; so often we see dolls made to look like their famous originals and don't even come close in likeness. Elvis and Priscilla were/are very beautiful people and the dolls certainly duplicate their likeness.
As far as durability goes, well, if you keep them in their box [as they were meant to be] they should be fine, though I highly recommend plastic casing to preserve the rather high value they [most certainly] will attain in the future. My box was not seeled all the way around leaving open gaps in the box allowing dust to get in - further proving the need for a case. However, if you are going to let the kiddies play with these dolls, they should hold up just as well as your average Barbie doll. Priscillas hair will probably get knotted/matted with child's play.
For educational value I gave these dolls 3 stars for the brief wedding bio on the box and for the replication of the Priscilla's wedding gown, Elvis' paisley tux and boots (Priscilla's feet cannot be seen without opening the box so I am unsure what type of shoe she's wearing), and their wedding bands - hey, this is history! There are also 2-3 wedding photos on the box.
My overall rating was 4 stars simply because I would have preferred Elvis's hair to have been fabric (like Priscilla's) instead of plastic. I do believe the reasoning behind the plastic is so that the hair keeps hold of Elvis' famous swooped-'do and shine. Besides that, these dolls in my opinion, are just fantastic. I am sure any bride/groom would be happy to receive this set as a gift.
These dolls will certainly be a treasure to fans, Barbie collectors, and the young and old at heart.
