This is a Bubba prop from Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire series of novels, what HBO's True Blood is base on.
From Wikipedia:
Bubba is Elvis Presley in vampire form. A morgue attendant who was a vampire and a big fan discovered the King slightly alive. The misguided vampire decides to make the overdosed Elvis undead, but the resulting creature, answering only to “Bubba”, is brain damaged by or before the process. The other vampires treat him as a dimwitted errand boy and try to keep him out of the public and clear of any household pets, as he likes to drink the animals' blood (cats being a particular favourite).
My prop is a Wowee Alive Elvis head stuck onto a Walmart $35 Halloween dummy and smushed into an Elvis costume. He'll be sitting in my pirate pub at a table with the Tru Blood drinking vampires. He'll be sipping "blood" out of a cat mug.

He looks pretty cool will you make him standing up or have him sitting down like in your youtube video? Either way he looks great.

Thanks! Probably sitting. That way his cat cup will rest on the table and he can be secured to the barstool.

I am huge Charlaine Harris fan, and enjoy the TrueBlood series as well. That is a FABULOUS idea, and very well done. I especially love the cat cup reference. Great job!
