HILLSIDE, NJ – August 05, 2024 – NECA, the industry leader in pop culture collectibles, has collaborated with Disney and Elvis Presley Enterprises to create a themed merchandise program inspired by Disney’s Lilo & Stitch and Elvis Presley.

The Disney Stitch Inspired By Elvis Collection will feature Stitch dressed up in six signature Elvis Presley looks. Influenced by some of Elvis Presley’s most iconic fashions that are memorialized in global pop culture history, the looks take inspiration from Memphis, Tenn., to Hawaii and include:

• Elvis Singer Stitch
• Elvis Blue Hawaiian Stitch
• Elvis Gold Suit Stitch
• Elvis Rocker Stitch
• Elvis White Jumpsuit Stitch
• Elvis Pink Checkered Stitch

The Disney Stitch Inspired By Elvis Collection will officially launch on August 9, 2024 at both D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in Anaheim, CA and Elvis Week at Graceland in Memphis, Tenn. D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event attendees will be able to purchase an assortment of plush, figures, and an exclusive pin and lanyard set throughout the event, taking place August 9, 10, and 11, 2024. NECA’s Booth, #5838, will be located in Hall B.

Elvis Week will run August 9 – August 17, 2024, where attendees will visit a Disney Stitch Inspired By Elvis Collection Pop-Up Shop stocked with new merchandise and a Disney Stitch Inspired By Elvis Collection photo op. In addition, the week’s events include an outdoor luau party featuring a Disney’s Lilo and Stitch movie screening on August 10 on The Guest House, located at Graceland’s back lawn.
