        That's not fat Vegas Elvis. That's definitely Kurt Russell.
        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          Pretty sure the name, autograph and likeness go hand in hand. Unless Mego is using creative spelling like the title of this thread is doing.

            Really strange that they clearly sculpted Kurt Russell as Elvis. I mean, you can't even not see that. Someone was looking at bad reference material lol.

            I mean, I liked Kurt's Elvis, but kinda odd to make a figure of. Not Tootie odd, so it's cool.

              It's incredible to see facesculpts like Nosferatu, Freddy, and Bruce Lee.

              It's equally disappointing to see facesculpts like Elvis, Ali, Marilyn Monroe, among a few others.

              The Impractical guys have better likenesses than Elvis, that just sucks imo.

                Odd choice for the Elvis head, it does look a lot like Kurt Russell, maybe they weren't able to get the likness rights
                for Elvis? Ali and MM are fair IMO, but Lee and Hendricks look cool and Nosferatu is scary awesome.

                  Awesome clothing on this guy. The head would be great custom fodder for a Jack Burton Big Trouble in Little China figure.

                      I love the Kurt Russell Elvis figure. I hope we get a "Jerry Garcia" legends figure that looks like R. J. MaCready from The Thing.
                      I post in thy general direction!

                        He looks like he'll make a great Trelane from Star Trek.

                          Elvis or Elvis impersenator???

                          Elvis 1.jpg

                          When I read that Mego was doing Elvis I thought I would be introuble, I have family members who would want this as soon as I could get them. I hope that this is just the prototype and he turns out better, if not this will save me some money!!
