078 Big E

Big E is an Elvis Presley parody.

His G1 figure had that pompadour hairstyle plus a flamboyant cape reminiscent of Elvis' stage persona during the 1970s.

Big E made a return with a G3 figure.  This figure looks more like a generic 1950s greaser. He is reminiscent of old school Elvis, Marlon Brando, and James Dean.

This version of Big E comes with a comb in his left hand.  The comb is not part of the mold, nor is it a true accessory.  It is a separate piece of hard plastic glued to the figure.  For one reason or another, kids break off pieces of this comb, and you can almost never find G3 Big E with his comb intact.

Fun fact:  Elvis was right-handed.
