After waiting for what seems like ages, Moebius has finally released their Elvira plastic model kit, one which I was at the fence deciding if I should get her or not. The picture above was what they released as a teaser and I have to admit, I am rather biased with feminine kits. Of course I had wanted to see the parts first hand before deciding, and thanks to ELs from Hobbytalk forum, he showed us what to expect.
But before I go into details about the kit, some of you may ask "who is Elvira?" OK, for the uninitiated, Elvira began with a horror comedy movie back in 1988 under the title Elvira - Mistress of the Dark, and stars Cassandra Peterson, who gave Elvira her iconic look to this date.
And here is the famous Elvira pose .... HOT! HOT! HOT! I use to have this poster during my school days .... its gone now. No idea what happened to it. I think she somehow got replaced with the Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole poster when I became a Ferrari Fanatic. Well, I was young and hot blooded that time, and having nice cars always get the girls .... in my case, it was fun dreaming about it.
Kind of hard to imagine how a beautiful lady like Cassandra can be transformed into .... Elvira. The power of .. Gothic cosmetics? This is going to make painting her fun. After the movies, Elvira made a few appearance in a RPG game under the same name, courtesy of Accolade.
OK, lets focus on the kit.
