The King’s not dead, he’s just a robot – one of many. Looking far healthier than he did in his latter year years, welcome to the latest stage of the incredible Elvinator robotic Elvis.

OK, he doesn’t have the hips [nor lips], nor indeed much of the facial skin you might need to pull it off, but this talking and singing Elvis impersonator is coming along quite nicely. The idea behind leaving off his facial skin is that you can see the workings of the mouth, lips and eyes.

And is it somewhat disturbing to see The King chatting away and even performing without a face? Hell yeah! See for yourself. While I like the trademark - although in this case disturbing - lip curl, the synching is in need of some work.

And please, someone put his face back on. Thank you very much. Uh-huh-huh…-Martin Lynch
