The Mistress of the Dark has been around for forty years. The horror hostess with the valley girl attitude has been a staple of Halloween almost since Cassandra Peterson brought her to life. Now, NECA is making something every Elvira fan wants, an 8″ tall figure with all the significant assets.
Available during the first quarter of 2022, Elvira’s action figure comes with a cloth dress, showcasing her ample … commodities. She’ll also come with an interchangeable head spotting a wink and her not-so-lethal dagger.
Celebrating 40 years of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark! The devilishly delightful Cassandra Peterson has played the part of Elvira for 40 years with grace, humor and more than a little camp. NECA is proud to present this fiendishly fantastic figure for your horror collection. The 8” Elvira action figure is fully articulated and features tailored fabric clothing, plus plenty of accessories… alternate winking head, skull, chalice, figure stand, and her signature dagger, which slips into a loop on the belt.
A crowdfunding campaign recently successfully reached its goal to get Elvira’s original comic book from Claypool back into print. But, unfortunately, it came out during a time when indie comic book artists, writers, and publishers were taking risks and making strides that the big two companies were afraid of. Sadly, one or two popular books can’t sustain a company.
Oddly, this year I didn’t see the typical amount of Elvira merchandise on the shelves that I usually do. But then again, most stores I go to barely had anything in stock for the holiday. Not to mention that most of the merchandise was cleared out by October 1st to make room for Christmas. So yeah, nothing makes me think of Christmas more than 90-degree weather in Florida… gawd.
What are your thoughts on Elvira and her brand of corny, campy, and pervy humor? Let us know in the comments.
