Happy Elvis Week! Seven days dedicated to celebrating the music, movies, and legacy of Elvis Presley. When the “King of Rock and Roll” introduced the world to his unique sound and signature moves, he changed the music and entertainment industries forever.

Therefore, to celebrate one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, Mattel has teamed up with Authentic Brands to introduce a Little People Collector set from Fisher-Price and collectible Elvis Presley Barbie.
