About Wowwee Alive™ Elvis®

Introduction

Dear Customer,

In 2005, Wowwee entered into a licensing

agreement with Elvis Presley Enterprises to

create the Wowwee Alive™ Elvis®, the rst

lifesize, completely realistic looking and

functioning bust of the world’s most loved

entertainer of all time.

Your animatronic Elvis consists of 10 precision

motors housed in an eciently designed

mechanical bust that conforms to the synthetic

skin likeness of Elvis!

More than two years of intense research and

development were dedicated to this project.

Initial sculptures were developed based upon

archival photo reference and lm footage from

Graceland. Forensic reconstruction techniques

were relied upon to assist in the creation

process. A total of 18 separate sculptures were

produced before a perfect recreation was

achieved.

Specially-developed motion-capture software,

in conjunction with a joystick system, was used

to nely tune the head and facial movements to

produce all the subtle motions that create a

believable Elvis.

We hope you will experience many enjoyable

and entertaining hours with the Wowwee Alive

Elvis.

With warm regards,

George York

Wowwee Ltd.
