Elvis Army Doll Appraisal

Mattel Elvis Presley: The Army Years Doll (Second in a Series, Classic Edition)

This is a collectible fashion doll manufactured by Mattel, part of 'The Elvis Presley Collection' commemorating his military service. The doll is approximately 12 inches tall, constructed of molded vinyl and plastic with a painted facial sculpt capturing Elvis's likeness. He wears a detailed scale-model reproduction of the United States Army Class A olive drab uniform, featuring a four-pocket tunic with miniature gold-tone buttons, silver-tone insignia, and a black tie. Notable accessories include a silver-tone dog tag necklace and a duffel bag. The item is housed in its original window box packaging, which features red and black graphics and a clear plastic display panel. The packaging identifies this as the 'Second in a Series' and a 'Classic Edition.' The background art inside the box depicts a crowd of paparazzi, adding to the thematic 'celebrity' feel. The doll appears to be in 'Never Removed From Box' (NRFB) condition, preserved in its original factory state. No visible fading, mold, or structural damage is observed on the figure itself. The exterior cardboard shows minor shelf wear at the corners, which is typical for items of this age, likely dating from the late 1990s (approx. 1999). Mattel's logo is clearly visible on the lower right corner, ensuring brand authenticity.
