Elvis Week 2010 begins August 10th and that's the same week that the jumpsuit-clad, guitar-toting Mr. Potato Head Elvis Presley collectible figures will be available to the public. The iconic toy takes on the iconic performer's persona in a second version -- dressed in black leather -- to be released before Christmas.
The new collectible Mr. Potato Head Elvis Presley was announced during a launch event at Licensing International Expo 2010 in Las Vegas. Costumes, hairstyles, faces and instruments will be interchangeable for both Elvis versions.
