The figurines McFarlane creates are enjoyed by many fans. The new figurine, number seven, available is the "Elvis Gospel".
From the press-release:
McFarlane's seventh Elvis Presley figure, Elvis Gospel has been released. Elvis Gospel recreates one of the seminal moments in Elvis' amazing career. Stunningly detailed in his iconic white suit, The King appears as he did in the '68 Comeback Special finale. Articulated at the neck, shoulders, wrists and waist, this remarkable 6.5" resin Elvis figure stands on a 6" wide by 3" deep base. If you love Elvis, you'll worship this!

So thats where they got the idea for the white suit in 'Randall & Hopkirk Deceased'. I've only just realised. Boy! Elvis was even influencing the dead in 1968!

I bet there are some people on this site that have more Elvis figurines in their collection than actual CD & records. I knew a lady that had more plates than music. The press & music critics have a field day with these types of fans.

Steve, no doubt you're right. Just look at the stuff for sale on shopelvis.com. The bobbles and trinkets eclipse the music. So goes the territory. I own this figure, and two others from the McFarlane collection. The likeness is very accurate, and the price is reasonable. Buying these and the music together still leaves money to pay the light bill. I'm looking forward to the Aloha figure in August.

Does your mummy trust you to pay the light bill? Does she leave you in the house on your own? Still, you'll have all your little Elvises to keep you company.
