Elvira

[Liu Bei]

Have any of you peeked yet?

Doubt many will answer that honestly, but I'm gonna peek for sure, assuming my order ever arrives. Supposedly it will arrive today according to the tracking number, but in reality it is 8 states away and not gonna happen. I remember when FedEx used to be a fairly reliable shipping service. Now they're just as bad as USPS, or even worse sometimes.

Is there some hidden meaning to this that I hadnt heard about?

Elvira… cloth goods…

Well when I did my custom Elvira a couple years ago, I used the stick on moustaches from thebDollar store and cut a small "map of Tazmania" as a finishing touch.

I ended up canceling my order with bbts and picked one up from the neca ebay store. The price was pretty close. At least the difference wasn't enough to make me balk.

If I'd found the figure at retail before it shipped from BBTS, I would've cancelled as well.

As it is I'm just watching my package get batted around like a ping pong ball. It's actually quite hilarious. It departed from Minnesota for Georgia last week. 48 hours later it was in Indiana. So far so good. Next day Ohio. Okay. Don't see why it didn't cut through Kentucky, but okay, whatever. Next day, way over in Maryland. Why? Who knows. Last check in was Friday afternoon in West Virginia. No updates since. Was supposed to have been delivered Friday, then rescheduled for Saturday, now still scheduled for yesterday. Fun stuff.

Fedex has been pretty wonky lately.

Finally got Elvira today. Love the head sculpt and chest sculpt (though I wish it had been anatomically correct), but not a big fan of the rest of the figure. Nevertheless I think this is and will be the definitive Elvira figure for many years to come, and highly recommend it to all Mego/Elvira fans.

Considering Cassandra is in her 70s and we, her fanbase, are in our 50s, this is probably the last figure ...

Like others, after a couple weeks floating around the country, she finally found her way to Ape City. Great figure; she looks spectacular surrounded by other beasties and monsters. Dress is nice quality and I dig that the heads are a softer PVC than some earlier NECA figures I have.

Picked one up yesterday while on an adventure out to Frank & Son's yesterday. She's pretty awesome. Delightful, even.

I was hoping to run across one at Target but I was told by the employee that stocks the collectables they only got in one regular and one signature so I ordered one at close to retail price as I could find.

I cannot wait to retire my custom and take pics of her set & in the ReMego Bar-N-Band

Got mine today from Entertainment Earth. Great figure (no pun intended).

[monitor_ep]

Oh I got might in, I odered it on Ebay from NECA so that saved money. She looks great. I need to find another shelf to add her set to my collection.
