Elvis, the biggest-selling solo recording star of all time, will be lovingly recreated in a 1:4 scale Premium Format sculpture by the artisans at Sideshow Collectibles, of Thousand Oaks, CA. Thus, fans will get not just a hunk 'a burnin' love, but an astonishingly lifelike, mixed-media figure of The King of Rock n' Roll at the very top of his game.

Sideshow, the world's premier manufacturer of film and television-licensed collectible figures and prop replicas, has lifted the figure medium to new heights with its exclusive Premium Format product line. The hand-painted pigmentations, skin textures, and fabric collars and clothing on these pieces make them the most lifelike sculptures of their kind in the world. Like nearly all of Sideshow's product line, Elvis Presley's Premium Format figure will be issued in a limited edition. Edition size and product cost will be determined at a later date.

About Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley cast a long shadow; the longest in the history of popular music. The Guinness Book of World Records lists The Man from Tupelo as the most successful solo recording artist of all time, with more than 170 hit singles (including 107 Top Forty hits and 17 Number One hits), and 80-plus top-selling albums. Presley's recording laurels also include most consecutive #1 hits (10), and the most weeks at #1 (80).

Colossal sales, however, don't adequately capture the cultural tsunami that was Elvis Presley. From the moment of his first public performance (in 1954, on a flatbed truck at the Memphis fairgrounds), Elvis Presley electrified audiences with his crackling, up-tempo renditions of country and blues songs supported by some scandalous gyrations. Presley's vocal range gave him license to move freely between gospel ("Crying in the Chapel") and blues ("That's All Right") while joining other pioneers (Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard) in the seminal days of rock 'n roll. By 1956, when Presley premiered on the Ed Sullivan Show, he was pulling a viewing audience of 54 million. He never looked back, riding the surge of a brand-new music form to immortality.
