Was there ever an Elvis Presley manikin real life size or smaller one?
Benking I have seen full size Elvis statues and also Elvis dolls not really what I call a mannequin but I would say yes on full size . I am just not sure on year they made them but the dolls came out in late 70's and into the 90's .
Thank you Brat :-)
Thanks again Manikin!
As the roof leaks, I had to change mine from one room to another.
I had an unique Elvis cardboard life size which he had given.
It will take me hours or one to get to it as boxes are stacked!
For now I just posted doll on china as I told you just for you first choice, is that the right category?
The phrase "Praise The Lord and Pass The Ammunition" was a song written by Frank Loesser and published as sheet music in 1942 by famous Music Corp. The words "Praise The lord and Pass the Ammunition" was uttered by a Navy Chaplain Howell Forgy when he was aboard the USS New Orleans during the attack on Pearl Harbor Dec 7th 1941.
Thank you ttom for insight on saying it is much appreciated I did not know that :-)
Manikin, I just saw your response on the gorgeous Doll you had posted a couple of days ago, and I went looking for the other doll like her. Is this he? I had loved him before, but now I appreciate him even more. The "Praise the Lord and Pass The Ammunition" is wonderful. Sending you warm breezes so your Spring will awaken....xo miKKo : )
