The Elvis Presley Collection "The Army Years" Classic Edition Doll Mattel
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.--Alison Golder
