So here's the full reveal of our STUNNING 1:4 scale Elvira Maquette. We are confident in saying this is the finest rendition of the iconic Mistress of the Dark yet made. We have worked on this piece, perfecting every detail, for years. We are so excited to finally reveal her to the world and present her for preorder on Thursday, September 28th. We will have more galleries to reveal in the coming days, and a whole additional portrait option you'll be able to get through our friends at Sideshow!

Let us know what you think in the comments! And happiest of birthdays to the always stunning and fabulous Cassandra Peterson!!

That's gorgeous! I'm so in on this!!

Additional implying second.
So did Sideshow have the Elvira 1/4 scale license? They must have because if they didn't, why in the heck is Tweeterhead giving them some type of exclusive headsculpt for their statue?

So then where you buy from depends on who sells the portrait you want?

Hmm ...I guess I can live with that...

Sideshow did at one time. But, I don't know if they do anymore. They previously released two Elvira PFs, but that was a very long time ago.

I guess all will be answered on the 28th or before. 10 days of less.

Finally, the full reveal!

The likeness is good. Instantly recognizable. However, I would prefer the portrait with her mouth closed, just a smile. That's the most pleasing expression to me.

The second portrait could very well be the winking one.

The only major issue I have with this statue is the way the hands are hovering above the body and leaving a gap in between. That looks quite odd.

I'd much prefer this for the alternate portrait. No teeth, and no stupid winking. I know winking suits her, but after seeing so many winking portraits on Prime 1 statues, I'm convinced companies don't know how to do it correctly.

Both portraits are pretty....meh, to be honest.

I still don't see what took so long to develop. This piece is pretty bland. Simple museum pose, really simple portraits.
