SUMMARY:
Released in 2017, this Rock Candy vinyl collectible by Funko presents actress Cassandra Peterson’s legendary Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. Faithfully recreating her sultry black evening gown (including a jeweled dagger) and over-the-top make-up, this statuette is approximately 5½ inches tall. Its packaging includes two small head shots of the real Elvira to compare with one of the same size of this cartoony counterpart. The collectible has large foot pegs in case one wishes to pose her on a display base (which isn’t included).
REVIEW:
Including a spot-on paint job, Funko’s sculpted rendition of Elvira is flawless. The minute details extend to her black fingernail polish, the gleam off her black patent leather pumps, and even a dimple on her right cheek. The sole oddity are the foot pegs, as they aren’t even necessary. This statuette stands perfectly well because the molded black dress effectively anchors her. To Funko’s credit, the well-designed packaging allows consumers to see the statuette through clear plastic to confirm that it does indeed match exactly the gothic promo photo on back. Considering its tongue-in-cheek potential as a desk or shelf decoration, this vinyl statuette would make an amusing gift for any Elvira fan.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 9 Stars
