The first series of Elvis, which includes Jailhouse Rock and Aloha from Hawaii and the Humungous Entertainment-based Junior Adventures line have both shipped and should start showing up in stores within 2 weeks.

The first assortment of Saturday Night Live (including Samurai Chef, Goat Boy, Mary Catherine Gallager and Nat X) figures should make their way into stores near the end of July.

You can start looking for Elvis Series 2 towards the end of August. Series 2 features Blue Hawaii (complete with a 10" surfboard and a ukelele with strings) and Karate Elvis (with board-breaking chopping action).

All of X-Toys Elvis figures will feature a cool "Lite-Up" package/display case with a light-up Elvis sign and a spotlight that shines on the figure. Each also includes a tin reproduction of the movie poster from the movie the figure is based on, album or other memorobilia (i.e. Karate Elvis has a tin reproduction of Elvis' certificate for 8th degree black belt).

Beyond that, X-Toys is hard at work on their X-Sports lineup of X-Treme sports-themed toys and action figures, which the company promises will be "amazing"! Look for these to ship in September.

RTM will bring you more information on these and other exciting X-Toys developments as it becomes available. Many of these items can be seen in RTM's X-Toys Toy Fair 2000 coverage (final product may differ from the prototypes shown).
