Mr. Potato Head, eh hem, move over ...

updated 4:25 p.m. CT, Wed., June 9, 2010

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Elvis Presley estate has signed a deal for Hasbro Inc. and PPW Toys to release an Elvis version of Mr. Potato Head.

Kevin Kern, a spokesman for Presley's Graceland estate, told The Commercial Appeal the new toy is one of 15,000 Elvis-licensed products and is one the company is excited about.

The first of the Elvis potato heads will be released for Elvis Tribute Week in August. The toy will be in a jumpsuit. A second version — with the likeness dressed in black leather — will be on the market for Christmas.

2. I am NOT an Elvis fan - but this is just sad. He was a human being, not a cartoon character.

Good gravy.

3. Elvis The Legend is kind of both.

But I hear you. However...he is a caricature.

I was thinking of forwarding this to my elvis impersonator friend.
