01:00Package-wise there's really not much. There's a bit of a wedding behind Elvira there Elvira
01:10Elvira
01:12On the side there's a picture of Elvira mistress of the dark deluxe action figure
01:19and then on the back
01:21we zoom in, also available
01:23from Amok Time
01:25there is the variant
01:28of her winking
01:32not a matter of preference really
01:34you can go either or
01:36I really wanted the non-blinking Elvira
01:40which is this one right here
01:43but it comes to us from Amok Time
01:46you can go to www.amoktime.com
01:52Amok Time
01:54Monstars
01:55says Elvira and Mistress of the Dark are trademarks of Queen Bee Productions
01:592010 Queen Bee Productions
02:01all rights reserved
02:04the Elvira
02:06not really much to say
02:07there is really no read-up whatsoever
02:10surprised actually that they didn't put a read-up
02:12but I guess the figure speaks for itself
02:15so much so I probably don't even have to shoot this review
02:18I will anyways
02:20but that's packaging on the Elvira
02:22what we're going to do is we're going to get this opened up
02:25and we are going to have a better look at the figure
02:27so there's more terrifying stuff to come guys
02:30don't go anywhere
02:34we'll first have a look
02:35at the base that comes with Elvira
02:39zoom in there
02:41she's got the
02:42the base is a really nicely painted
02:46kind of cobblestone
02:47kind of old
02:49castle stone type flooring
02:53there's a skull there as well
02:56there's not really a lot
02:57it's a very basic stand
03:00but I mean it works
03:01it perfectly works for the figure
03:03you don't really need a big complicated stand
03:07if anything it would have been nice
03:08just if they had a little plaque or something there
03:10that just said Elvira
03:12but I mean you know
03:14for what it is
03:15I mean the display stand is still perfectly fine
03:17nice coloring
03:18nice paint
03:20can't go wrong
03:21really nice stand
03:24and let's put that aside
03:25I'm sure nobody is watching this review
03:27for the sake of this stand
03:28let's put that down for a second
03:30let's have a look at Elvira
03:32mistress of the dark
03:35let's perhaps zoom in first
03:37to her face
03:43and I have to say
03:44it's a very good likeness of Elvira
03:48they've got the makeup down
03:52trademark
03:52I guess
03:53eye shadow and stuff
03:54that she's done to her eyes
03:55the little mole
03:56that they've put by
03:57by her eye there as well
04:01really nice
04:02nice detail work as well
04:03on the hair
04:04which is also one of the
04:06probably I wouldn't say
04:07the trademark
04:08thing of Elvira
04:10usually with Elvira
04:11they
04:12most people tend to think of
04:13one thing
04:15but the other thing
04:15that she is known for
04:16is this beehive hair style
04:19and I think the figure
04:21really captures the idea
04:22of that hair
04:24really really long
04:26it's this nice rubber plastic
04:27that's not going to hinder
04:28too much the articulation
04:30of the head
04:30which we'll get into
04:31in a second
04:33following the hair down
04:34she's got a really nice
04:35sculpt on the
04:39lower portion
04:40of her dress
04:41a lot of the creases
04:43and the folds
04:44of the actual dress
04:46as well
04:48cascading down
04:48to the
04:49to the
04:50to the where the dress
04:51has
04:51has reached the floor
04:54and then underneath
04:55I mean there is nothing
04:56really to speak of
04:57underneath
04:57just where the peg holes
04:59of the
05:00of where the stand
05:01would go
05:03this is a rubber
05:06but the
05:07the dress
05:07is really nice
05:08definitely
05:09really really nice
05:10even to the
05:12to the fact
05:12of the sleeves
05:13if we zoom
05:13into the sleeves
05:14really even zoom
05:15into the hand
05:16the hands
05:17are really nicely
05:18sculpted
05:19the fingernails
05:20are nicely painted
05:21in there
05:21she's got her bracelet
05:23there going on
05:24as well
05:26and I like
05:27that she's really
05:27got this
05:30nice
05:33shredded
05:34I don't know
05:35how you want
05:35to call it
05:36the
05:36the tatteredness
05:37of the dress
05:38on the side
05:39there
05:39I think it
05:40really looks
05:41awesome
05:43really looks
05:44awesome
05:44I mean there's a
05:45there's a couple
05:45things you think
05:46of when you think
05:46of Halloween
05:47and you think
05:47of horror
05:49I tend to
05:50generally think
05:50I mean Elvira
05:51is certainly
05:51right up there
05:52everybody I think
05:53in their 30s
05:54knows Elvira
05:58and she's got
05:59herself the
06:00slit in the
06:00dress
06:01something else
06:02that Elvira
06:03is known for
06:04you gotta give
06:05her credit
06:07she certainly
06:08was a daring
06:09actress to
06:10have such a
06:11revealing dress
06:12I mean certainly
06:13the creased
06:14leg
06:14the crease
06:15in the dress
06:15showing off
06:16the leg
06:17also other
06:19things that
06:19Elvira
06:20has been
06:20known for
06:22really well
06:23sculpted
06:24also
06:24I mean you
06:25can even see
06:26that she's got
06:26the rings
06:27going on
06:27there as
06:28well
06:28and her
06:28fingers
06:29going on
06:30right there
06:35great
06:36solid
06:36solid
06:37work
06:44she's also
06:44got her
06:45dagger
06:46spots
06:47trying
06:47everything
06:47in his
06:48power
06:48not to
06:48point out
06:49the
06:49obvious
06:50she's got
06:50herself
06:51a really
06:51neat
06:51dagger
06:52going on
06:52there
06:52as
06:52well
06:55but just
06:56a really
06:57really neat
06:58figure
06:58it's not
06:59for everybody
07:00but you know
07:01if you grew up
07:02and you're maybe
07:02in your 30s
07:03late 20s
07:04early 30s
07:05maybe even
07:05you're probably
07:06in your 40s
07:06as well
07:08you know
07:08Elvira was
07:10kind of the
07:10queen of
07:11B-horror movies
07:12or of the
07:12B-horror movie
07:13late night
07:16shows
07:16I mean
07:17I didn't
07:17watch
07:18Elvira
07:18growing up
07:20I want
07:21to make
07:21sure I keep
07:22saying Elvira
07:22because my
07:23ex-wife's
07:24middle name
07:24was Elvira
07:25so I have to
07:25keep making
07:25sure I say
07:26Elvira
07:26not Elvira
07:28but I didn't
07:29grow up
07:30watching
07:31Elvira
07:32it was
07:32something I
07:33picked up
07:33later on
07:34as I got
07:34older
07:34but to me
07:36she really
07:36personifies
07:37the idea
07:38of horror
07:38of the
07:39horror movie
07:40kind of
07:41campiness
07:43that is
07:44enjoyable
07:44I mean
07:45you don't
07:45always
07:46necessarily
07:46have to
07:46have
07:47a very
07:48spooky
07:48kind of
07:49Halloween
07:49you can
07:50kind of
07:50have
07:50you know
07:51you can
07:51enjoy
07:52the
07:52camp
07:52movies
07:53as well
07:55now
07:55of her
07:56articulation
07:58Elvira
07:58has a
08:00ball
08:00jointed
08:00head
08:02you can
08:02only really
08:03rotate the
08:03head
08:04left and
08:04right
08:04you can't
08:05move it
08:06up and
08:06down
08:06but that's
08:07alright
08:08her waist
08:09rotates as
08:10well on
08:10a swivel
08:13now I've
08:14got her
08:14arms
08:14out
08:15her arms
08:16do
08:16rotate
08:17all the
08:18way around
08:19her
08:20upper arm
08:21as well
08:22rotates
08:22on both
08:23arms as
08:23well
08:25and also
08:25her wrists
08:26rotate
08:30now there
08:31are several
08:31poses you
08:32can do
08:32the more
08:33obvious pose
08:34probably would
08:35be
08:35you know
08:36her hands
08:36on her
08:37waist
08:37or you
08:37know
08:38something
08:38like that
08:41she could
08:42have one
08:42arm out
08:43kind of
08:44thing
08:46but I
08:47mean it's
08:48just a
08:48really
08:48really solid
08:49figure

08:51yes there
08:51is a
08:52certain
08:52level of
08:53silliness
08:54and you
08:54know
08:56I'm sure
08:56some feminists
08:57probably don't
08:58like Elvira
08:59for probably
09:00what she
09:00represents
09:00but for
09:01as a
