| | | Is That Elvira Winking At YOU?! 
Cassandra Peterson a.k.a. Elvira - Mistress Of The Dark When In Costume! |
Well, It Could Be... If You pre-ordered the upcoming Elvira: Mistress of the Dark 'Winking' Variant Deluxe Action Figure from Monstarz!
Those that have been reading my Blog for a while will know that I have fondness for Elvira. Heck I blog about her at least every Halloween Season if not more!
So when this upcoming product was just introduced to me this week, I had to mention it! It is an all-new 7" collector's action figure which features the "Spooky Seductress" with a dungeon display base and skull. The action figure is enclosed in a blister card packaging.
This item is due to ship by late July, 2009.
MSRP is $26.99
I've been watching Elvira ever since she was 'working nights', as seen by the TV advertisement shown just above. I 'paid my dues' in Los Angeles during her early years there and was pleased to see her introduce so many films that wouldn't be shown otherwise.
It was great when DC gave her a shot at comics, thus helping build her brand. Of course it didn't hurt when artists like Dave Stevens did great covers like the one shown here! This is one of the easier series to collect with only 11 regular issues and one special issue from DC Comics starting in 1986!
Elvira went on to her comic book series with Claypool Comics, lasting for 175 issues. The Final Issue is shown here! This is a little harder series to collect, as there are more issues and less distribution. The series started in 1993.
Today you can find her at several comic cons, which is what I did, seeing her at the SDCC / Comic Con International San Diego in 2008.
So I'm taking the time to blog about this so you can know what to get your friends that are fans of Elvira and are hard to shop for. I usually don't get into 'toys' unless they are really different. This 'winking' action figure is that fer sure!
