00:00It's a mistress of many colors. Here's your look at the neck of toys over the rainbow Elvira mistress of the dark
00:23Celebrates Pride Month with Elvira mistress of the dark the devilishly delightful
00:27Cassandra Peterson has played the part of Elvira for more than 40 years with grace humor and more than a little camp
00:31NECA is proud to present this over-the-rainbow Elvira figure
00:35Celebrating the horror and Queen icon and never-before-seen
00:38Sparkling rainbow dress for your collection to spread the love when you place an order for the over-the-rainbow Elvira on the NECA store.com
00:44You'll receive free shipping
00:45We've also joined with Cassandra to support equality for all NECA and Elvira are proud donors to the human rights campaign
00:51Which strives to end discrimination against the LGBTQ plus people if you're lucky enough to get to the end?
00:57Of the rainbow you might just find this pot of gold just before of course we get a closer look the Elvira over the rainbow
01:02I'd like to first thank the folks over at NECA that provided the sample
01:05We could have a look at this figure is right now available over on their site for 39 dollars and 99 cents
01:10Including the stand that she's standing on right now
01:12The figure is gonna stand at about eight and a half inches in height or over the rainbows Elvira is
01:1721 and a half centimeters tall
01:19While I may have had a hard time finding the whereabouts of the red white and blue version of Elvira that has the stars
01:24And stripes I do have certainly the original version of Cassandra Peterson, and I do have the scary Xmas version somewhat similar
01:29Molds you can see as well for their faces and somewhat similar molds as well for their bodies
01:34I do really like the look of the rainbow dress
01:36She also does have a completely different display stand same shape though different design not only with this pickup
01:41Are you supporting human rights?
01:42But this Elvira does have things we've never seen before
01:44The figure first of all does come in clear with a flag the flag though out of the packaging doesn't have anything on it right now
01:49However though it gives you a chance at least to customize the flag as there's different ways that you can actually label this
01:55The labels do match one another so if you see one on one side
01:58It's simply just the mirror flip to that and that's then if you want to have it printed on both sides
02:02You're just gonna want to remove the label that you want to use stick it down on the flag
02:05I haven't yet chosen which flag colors I want to use
02:07I'm probably gonna go with this one matching of course the colors that she has for her dress
02:10so it's just a case of just peeling the label that you want to use and if you're careful enough steady enough and you have
02:16the right eye you can just line everything up and
02:19Stick the sticker down
02:23What a lot easier than I was expecting we'll do the same thing on the other side as well now
02:28I'm choosing these you don't have to necessarily choose these at all if you want to go with a different color scheme you can
02:32Do that as well. We're just gonna put this on the other side. Let's if we fare just as good
02:36No, this one. This one's gonna struggle a little bit more. I
02:40Was seem to have a shakier hand when I'm applying a sticker do we have it on there? I
02:46Think the other side looked a little bit nicer. We're gonna have it this way
02:48We're gonna have it this way and of course this does fit into her hands
02:51But the thing about it though is that the hands that she's using are somewhat of the similar hands that already we've gotten before with
02:57Elvira so you'll see that they are already kind of loose when you're trying to get them into her hand for example
03:02You kind of have to fit this into her hand and just hope that she does a good enough job of holding it now
03:07Of course, she does have an elbow bend
03:08But if you're looking at the way that the fingers are I mean you're probably gonna be getting very little help when it comes to
03:12This hand because this hand is just basically a relaxed hand. She does technically have also swappable hands, but those hands aren't gonna help you either
03:19So basically just take the hand and you hold the flag. Oh, that's pretty that's pretty good
03:23And it's gonna survive as well the blizzard test
03:26So while she's holding though her flag
03:28Let's look at the other thing that she also comes included that's unique to this figure. She comes with her memoir
03:32Which I think is yours cruelly
03:35Surprisingly though being such a big fan of Elvira. I've yet to actually pick up her autobiography
03:40Yours cruelly though, you can see though has Elvira there featured on the front
03:44There is probably a read up and I would imagine they probably would have taken this and scanned the front and the back cover of
03:49The book and then sure shrunk everything down
03:51But I mean just to be impossible that would be impossible to try to read that the book doesn't open up
03:56Although looking at the pages almost looks like it does
03:58I can store this on my shelf
04:00If I have myself a small enough shelf for all my action figures, I could put that up right maybe next to Necronomicon
04:05Maybe I don't know. I mean, I don't know which book really be even more evil
04:09I mean Elvira, but I love the idea that they actually gave you a tiny little book of her autobiography
04:14Of course that can also fit into her hand as well
04:17Basically, this hand is gonna be doing all the work
04:19So again, you're just gonna want to just get in between her fingers and her thumb. Yeah, and she holds the book
04:24Okay, I think as a little side touch
04:27It certainly would have been fun if they had found a way to get her, you know
04:29Well, obviously not to sign tiny little books
04:31I mean that's so small that would be a bit impossible and I imagine her as well like as she gets a little bit older
04:36No offense, I would imagine be a little bit harder to sign your name on such small books, but they signed it on a larger card
04:42Shrunk it down and then have each of the individual books signed with her true signature
04:46That would also have been fun as well
04:48While the figures there and holding her book the figure also does come in clear with a display stand. I did say though earlier
04:54I'm just gonna get a lay down here for a second
04:55The stand itself if you were to look at the other earlier Elvira's
04:59I'm gonna just take the original one off here. The original Elvira would have had this just in a black stand the
05:04Merry Christmas one the scary X-mas manager go ahead and take her off the stand did actually have an Elvira signature
05:10Now this one has a very similar style of signature obviously because it's coming from Elvira
05:14But the display stands are identical this just happens though to have the I guess the yellow brick road yellow brick road follow the yellow
05:19Brick road and you of course attach the figure the exact same way if you look at the bottoms of her feet
05:24She does have peg holes here and she has a peg hole here
05:27So you can decide for yourself which way which which foot you want to attach on to display stand
05:31With the quarters though being small like this you can't really have the figure the figures feet too wide
05:35So if you want to attach them on to the display stand, for example a wider stance would be fun
05:40But again, like she's kind of start to overhang the side of the display stand
05:44She's also obviously gonna have a little more tough time standing just because again like with the earlier Elvira's too
05:49She has a very small footprint and she also has a high heel
05:52So that's gonna run a little more conflict when it comes to getting her to stand properly
05:56I'm gonna come back to that other Elvira also in a second
05:59The figure also comes included with of course already mentioned a pair of relaxed hands
06:04Painted very well is the nails on the ends
06:06She also has there a ring a little ruby ring there on one side
06:09She doesn't have it on the other side though. And again, these would just pop out with the hands that she currently has right now
06:14Here's the cool thing about this version of Elvira
06:16Not just the fact that she does have a rainbow dress, but that she also does have removal face plates
06:21Up to this point
06:23We have gotten ourselves a couple of different expressions of Elvira with the ones that I already have on display
06:27What I tend to usually do is I have different expressions depending on the figure
06:30So like the original black dressed Elvira, I tend to have with the winking eye
06:37And then what I've done usually then with the scary Xmas Elvira, although truth be told
06:41I don't tend to put her out on display until it comes time to like Christmas time
06:45But you can see I just got the regular expression on her face
06:47Which isn't really that much different than what we're getting here with the over the rainbow version of Elvira
06:52The thing that's really neat though about this figure is that she also comes included for the first time ever
06:57This head sculpt and it isn't even so much a head sculpt. It's a face plate
07:01You can see on the back
07:03So instead of having to rely on taking off the head every single time to swap it out for a different head sculpt
07:08What you'll do though instead is you literally just peel the front of her face off
07:13Just peel it off right that that already looks a little scary. It kind of looks like a tiny little mouth little eyes
07:19I'm in your nightmares tonight
07:22But what you'll do though is you'll just swap the face plate off
07:25You kind of have to tuck it up first to get underneath the bangs and then you'll just plug it in place
07:30And you get this head sculpt now, let's say you want to use this head sculpt for oh, I don't know this body of Elvira
07:37What you could do is all you first of all
07:39You could strip the body down
07:40Stop that get your mind out of the gutter or what you can also do too is you can pop the head off the ball
07:45joint
07:46And this may involve in fact a little bit of heating up
07:49I didn't have too hard of a time removing the first time sure enough moment
07:52I start to hit record and we're just gonna head and pop this head sculpt off
07:56There we go
07:57if you want to you can swap and use this head sculpt which I'm almost kind of considering doing using with the regular black dress and
08:04Again, like it's using the same ball joint
08:06I just haven't completely put the pressure down to get that lodged in place
08:09but you could use this one and then it's just the case if you wanted to I would love really to see them do this
08:14with an Elvira like an ultimate Elvira where you get this head of obviously with the beehive hairstyle and then various different swappable face
08:22plates
08:22So instead of again changing up the heads that you want to change to just change up the face plates
08:27I love to see them release that down the road just an ultimate Elvira
08:31Yes, yes, please
08:32really good-looking head sculpt and really my favorite of the three so again like if you wanted to just swap it out with the head
08:38That you want to use and hey, why not?
08:39I could also just put this one back to the the rainbow dress
08:41But considering that this is the one that came with the rainbow dress
08:44We have to kind of put it back where it belongs. That's just gonna plug back on to the ball joint. There we go. I
08:50Really should have brought in the red white and blue version of Elvira because it looks to be like a very similar style address
08:55Instead of the stars and stripes we get ourselves the full rainbow treatment
08:58All the colors of the rainbow are represented here red and orange pink and green purple and orange and blue
09:03Was it red and yellow pink and green?
09:07I'm not gonna sing the rest of it. My daughter knows the rainbow song
09:11Anyways, though all the colors are represented here
09:13The material that they've used here is actually a very soft. I don't wanna say soft plastic, but a very soft material
09:18It has a sheen finish to it
09:20She does also have of course the belt there on the front now one problem
09:23I did though notice with my Elvira involves me having just to peel back the curtains just a little bit
09:28I won't do it all the way, but I will peel back just a little bit
09:30You can see that she's got a little bit of a stain there of all places on the front of her chest
09:36All the colors of the rainbow are represented so you get the orange on the one side
09:41Smeared there and I've got a little bit of purple also stained on the side of her
09:46Chest
09:47So it's a shame. I mean obviously if I'm always gonna have the dress kind of covered over it
09:51Anyways, I'm never gonna be any bit the wiser until I start to go back and look at it again
09:56It's unfortunate though
09:57But that's just it goes with the territory of having anything stained like this you start to color
10:01Costumes and then you put it on plastic sure enough dot dot dot it leads to the same result
10:06You're gonna have a stain left behind it just happens to be stained here
10:09But it probably would be no different if I was to roll up the sleeve
10:12Yeah, I don't see anything on these sleeves, and I don't actually see anything on the legs either probably because there's been a lot more
10:18Contact contact has been made here
10:21But again like the rest of her body does seem very much similar to the original Elvira
10:25I bring back in the headless Elvira so you can see like likewise and of course the shoes
10:30She does now have ruby slippers or ruby high heels. That's a really nice touch there as well
10:34But it seems like they are sharing the exact same molds. I'm sorry. Let me just stop for a second
10:39I feel so wrong leaving Elvira without a head just pop that back in place there
10:44We go move off to the side now for the figures articulation bringing her back in
10:48Heads gonna be on the same ball joint system as the other three that we've already looked at in earlier reviews
10:52It's gonna rotate back and forth the heads gonna look up the heads gonna look down
10:56Obviously by the nature of the sculpting of the hair even though this is softer plastic
10:59It is gonna cause a little more conflict if you want to start to rotate the head
11:03Does do still a decent enough job of rotating now? The upper torso is also gonna be on a ball joint. Oh, sorry
11:11You'll be on a top ball joint there as well. You can bring the arms out easily enough here on Elvira
11:15You can also bring the arms forward bring the arms back. She has a swivel at the bicep
11:19She has a single hinge in the elbow and she also has the hands that rotate all the way around
11:24The legs do split out you take a legs move forward
11:27They're a little on the more squeakier side, but you can bring them forward you can bring them back
11:30There's a swivel at the top of the thigh
11:32There is only just a single hinge on the knee and then there's the ankle pivot the ankle rocker
11:37I should say moves forward and back
11:38You can rock it a little bit back and forth there as well
11:41and of course when it comes to displaying her on the shelf, which I will be doing shortly after this review with the other
11:45Two Elvira because I have the well, I don't have the red white and blue version of her
11:49I don't know why again. I put her in storage
11:51I really should have really brought her out for the review
11:53But already though I had the original Elvira on display on the shelf at the scary Xmas
11:58I don't tend to do until it's Christmas time
11:59I don't know when it comes to Christmas themed items is I'm not the kind of person that likes to display them all year round
12:04I like to kind of keep them special keep them for the season and I usually bring them out when that season arises
12:11Though again like displaying the figure three figures
12:14Bringing back in the scary Xmas version of Elvira gear on display stand, you know again
12:18Like well, they are using a lot of the same old and I would think the most the most relatable mold wise
12:23Would probably be the one that we got for the red white and blue simply just because she has a very similar style of dress
12:27I love the look though of the rainbow dress here the over the rainbow Elvira and again nice little touches the fact that they gave
12:33You the option to decorate the flag. Maybe that's that's not the right side to look at. That's the better side
12:37That's as Julia Child would say that's the public side that you want to show your guests
12:41While you do get yourself again a flag you get yourself some stickers
12:44So, of course you can decorate the way exactly the way that you want. You also get as well yours cruelly
12:49Which again, I'm probably gonna be putting on a tiny tiny little small bookcase along with the Necronomicon ex-mortis loosely translated
12:55Be the book of the dead and of course the coolest thing about the figure is the fact
13:00She also does come include some swappable faceplates
13:02so the fact if you want to
13:04Even though I do like the head sculpt with the one that we get kind of with this figure already
13:07I'm kind of very much tempted the idea of popping the head off on this one and replacing with the one we get for the
13:12Black dress so we have this Elvira with the chocolate because again like when we get
13:16Like Elvira mistress of the dark a lot of the movie covers for example tend to have like the look of Elvira looking like this
13:23I think that would be kind of the ideal face sculpt and face
13:26expression to be displayed along with this figure and then what I might just do is take the winking face and then replace it then
13:31With this body and have her displayed that way nice Elvira though
13:35I'm really happy the fact that we got the chance to have a look at this
13:37I'm certainly also happy as well that they had the chance to release this not only getting a decent looking Elvira
13:42But you're also as well supporting human rights, which is at the end of it the most important thing
13:46There's actually an irony talking about Cassandra Peterson signing your tiny little book of yours cruelly
13:51Because the book itself already has a red signature of Elvira featured on the front
13:54But the irony also is that at one point there over the rainbow Elvira was available on NECA site in limited
14:00Quantities that came included with a postcard that had Cassandra Peterson's true signature
14:05I would have loved to have gotten my chance to get one of those
14:07But unfortunately by the time I got to their site that version of Elvira was completely sold out
14:12The good news though is if you guys are still interested get your hands on this figure
14:15The regular version of over the rainbow Elvira is still available there for $40 or $39 and 99 cents
14:23Not only are you supporting the cause of human rights, but you're also getting some rather unique accessories
14:27We've never seen before like the pride flag
14:29You can decorate for yourself one side on mine looks a little bit better than the others you get yours currently
14:34But the most coolest thing is the fact that you also get yourself a flippable face plate
14:38You can actually take off one expression and replace it with the other
14:41If you want to use it with the Elvira that we get packed with it
14:45You can do that or you can also because they're using the exact same head as the ones we've already gotten
14:50You can use this head sculpt with other Elvira's too. You want to use it with the black dress Elvira?
14:55I'm considering it myself at least doing that that way
14:58You can change the face plates around instead of having to worry of popping off the head every single time
15:03You want to get a different expression?
15:05Though it's something I would certainly like to see NECA do with the idea now that they've already implemented with the over the rainbow Elvira
15:11Release an ultimate Elvira with multiple face plates all the expressions that we've gotten with not only the merry
15:17Xmas spooky Xmas version of Elvira the red white and boo and the regular release have
15:22Swappable face plates instead of doing two heads one head with different expressions
15:27I think that would be a fun idea in the meantime, though
15:29I would like to again thank the folks over at NECA toys that did provide this sample of this
15:33Of course was the over the rainbow Elvira a great-looking figure. What do you guys think of it?
15:37Let me know down below in the comment section
15:39Let me know as well
15:39If you guys did get the chance to get the signed copy that came include the Cassandra Peterson signature
15:44You can rub it in if you want
15:46I mean, I you know, you don't have to go nanananana
15:48But let me know down below in the comments if you guys got the chance to get that figure
15:52Also as well if you guys did enjoy this video do it a solid throw it like you guys want stick around for more
15:56So I hope so hit the subscribe turn on the bell. Come back, please as always. Thanks for watching. See you guys next time
16:09You
