MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Barbie and Ken have a new look.
Managers of Elvis Presley's house in Memphis -- Graceland -- unveiled a new collectors set of Elvis and Priscilla Presley wedding day dolls on Tuesday.
The event was part of a weeklong lineup of events marking the anniversary of Presley's death on Aug. 16, 1977, at Graceland.
The Elvis and Priscilla dolls are dressed like the couple was at their wedding.
The set by Mattel -- the maker of the popular Barbie dolls -- retails for $65.
One, signed by Priscilla, was auctioned Tuesday, fetching $6,000. The buyer was Brenda Moore of Bentonville, Ark.
Another 190 were sold at Graceland, all bearing a special stamp denoting the occasion.
The set will go on sale to the general public later this year.

I'd like to shake the hand of the goofball that paid $6000 for Pris to autograph a doll. After all, they lived happily ever after, right?
I wonder if you could turn the Pris doll into a voo-doo doll.
Okay, serious question here, because I don't know anything about Barbie dolls.
Is is common to create collector sets like this for divorced couples?
NO!!!!!!! NO WAY!!!!
This one is better. Notice the magic word between Elvis Presley and Priscilla.

Been to a couple forums and it seems people like these dolls, but thats there choice. Never liked barbie and ken and l don't like these either, but to each is there own.
I know you don't like me but it seems terribly personal to mix your Cilla-loathing sentiments with anti-British imagery!
Seriously though, I desperately want a Cilla one (for obvious and questionable purposes) but wouldn't have much use for the Elvis figurine. Anybody want to split a pair and save some cash?
And $6000?! She'd have to be signing my nuts for that!!

I think the set is intended to celebrate a memorable moment in pop-culture history rather than an inspirational example of marital longevity.

Sometimes I worry that people have more money than sense.

I'd love a Pocket Priscilla, though.
And in a tiny wedding dress?!
The more I think about it, 6000 bucks doesn't seem like so much money after all.
Especially when you have the memory of the nut signing.

LOLTeddy.
Speechless, lol.
I wonder if she'd know what to do with you? lol
Teddy, you need to get one of those blown up dolls!! You can pretend it is Cilla after all it is plastic!!!
I saw on Entertainment Tonight that the Elvis & Priscilla dolls she autographed were auctioned off for charity. The proceeds went to Presley House.
