Mcfarlane Toys has released a number of Elvis Presley action figures throughout the years and it looks like they will continue to expand their action figure line of "The King". Just in time for the San Diego Comic-Con 2007, Mcfarlane announced that they will be releasing a new Elvis action figure in 2008. The Elvis action figure is still in the planning stages, but rumors have it that the figure will be called Elvis Gospel. It is expected to hit the shelves in May 2008. The new Elvis Gospel action figure will be based on the final song of Elvis' "68 comeback special performance. This final song was the first time ever that Elvis was televised singing a gospel song. Specific details of the figure have not yet been released.

Mcfarlane Toys has a long history of Elvis action figures since the release of their first Elvis action figure in 2004. It was all started with the release of Mcfarlane's Elvis Presley '68 Comeback Special action figure based on "The King's" legendary 1968 concert. It was quickly followed up that same year with the Rockabilly and Las Vegas Elvis action figures. In 2005, Mcfarlane continued to feed collectors need for more Elvis. The Elvis Presley 4 figure from Mcfarlare featured Elvis dressed in gold as he appeared in New York City concert in 1956. To top off the Elvis collection in 2005, Mcfarlane released a pumped up 12 inch version of the previously released Las Vegas Elvis figure. As the popularity of the Mcfarlane Elvis action figures became obvious, Mcfarlane continued the series in 2006 with the release of their Blue Hawaii Elvis action figure and an action filled figure of Elvis from his 1957 Jailhouse Rock movie appearance. Elvis got a break in 2007 as Mcfarlane focused their music figures series on Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, just like the music of the King, it seems like these figures may go on forever.
