Elvis and Priscilla Presley Barbie dolls unveiled
Elvis Presley
Fans commemorate 31st anniversary of the King's death
A new set of Elvis and Priscilla Presley Barbie dolls have been unveiled.
The dolls sport replicas of the outfits the couple wore on their wedding day in Las Vegas in 1967. The Elvis doll is clad in a black paisley-print tuxedo, while Priscilla's doll is wearing a white chiffon gown with a tiara and veil.
Approximately 150 fans were on hand at Graceland to witness the unveiling of the dolls earlier this week, reports the Associated Press. The unveiling was a part of Graceland's annual weeklong fan pilgrimage to mark the anniversary of Presley's death on August 16, 1977.
A limited-edition set of the dolls with special unveiling-day stamps will be released this week, with the regular dolls hitting shops later this year.
