Elvis Presley...a Potato Head? King's estate sells out...





Nothing is sacred, I guess!

And, just maybe the latest marketing efforts by the Presley estate to rustle up big bucks, is starting to turn fans off.

For the first time in years, one local performer acknowledged that he was moving on, exiting the auditorium.

"Elvis isn't a lucrative act for impersonators anymore," he confided.

So what of Hasbro's deal to release a Potato Head Doll of Elvis with two wardrobe options (jumpsuit or black-leather-clad option) during tribute week to the King in August?

Will the novel toy be snapped up or will it ring the death knell for Elvis's once enviable stature in the souvenir industry?
