Jailhouse Rock Appraisal

Mego 8-inch Elvis Presley Jailhouse Rock Action Figure

This is a Marty Abrams Presents Mego 8-inch action figure of Elvis Presley, inspired by his iconic appearance in the 1957 film 'Jailhouse Rock'. The figure features a 14-point articulation system, allowing for various poseable displays. It is dressed in a miniature replica of the prisoner uniform from the movie's musical number, consisting of a black and white horizontal striped shirt under a dark denim jacket with white contrast stitching and silver-colored buttons. Matching denim pants and black shoes complete the outfit. The head sculpt is made of painted plastic, capturing Elvis's likeness with his signature pompadour hairstyle. The packaging consists of a resealable plastic blister card with a decorative backing that features a monochrome photograph of Elvis and is marked with the 'Marty Abrams Presents Mego' logo. This modern production pays homage to the classic Mego style of the 1970s. The condition of the item appears to be in its original packaging, though the cardboard shows some visible shelf wear, including slight bending at the corners and edges of the card. The plastic bubble is intact, and the figure inside shows no visible defects, maintaining the clean lines and vibrant contrast of the fabric clothing. The 'M' Mego logo and Elvis signature on the packaging are clear and legible indicators of its officially licensed status.
