Starring in her first ever plastic model kit (And hopefully not the last), it's Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, the Queen of Halloween! 

Today we will be unboxing the Moebius 918 - Elvira Mistress Of The Dark model kit. This is a model kit unboxing video we hope you will enjoy!

Inside the 1/8th scale Elvira Mistress Of The Dark Model Kit, you will find a plethora of ghoulish details that hearken back to the good ol' days of the 1/8th scale Aurora Monster Model Kits of old. 

Elvira reclines on a Victorian era sofa that measures 9" long and 5" high with Gonk the dog from the 1988 movie. Don't worry, his bite is much, much worse than his bark, but not nearly as bad as his haircut! 

Reminiscent of the old Aurora Monster kits, this Elvira Mistress Of The Dark Model Kit has a spider web that is attached to the far corner leg of the sofa and a skeleton hand that reaches up from under the sofa near Elvira's outstretched leg. The sofa sits on a large rug that includes a candelabra with a real brass post, a giant rat, a skull head that is looking up at Elvira, and a monster face peeking up from under the rug.  Elvira wears her famous black dress, ring and bracelet, as well as her diamond handled dagger. 

Once all the pieces are together, the entire model measures 10" wide and 7" high. 

The parts are very crisply molded and the detail is fantastic. 

Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark, consists of 25 parts, the candelabra is 10 parts. The skeleton  parts include the hand, arm and front and back skull pieces. The couch is assembled from 15 pieces which include Elvira's dress bottom molded to the cushion, so some care is needed here in the paint department so that you don't accidentally paint the red couch black at that point. 

There is an excellent paint call out on the instruction sheet which gives some advanced painting techniques like using a paint wash, dry brushing, and applying some gloss and matte finishes on the Elvira Mistress Of The Dark Model Kit to make it look more realistic. An example of this is on Elvira's eyes and lips to make them look naturally moist. You can also add a gloss paint coat to the wood on the sofa for that varnished look of old. 

All in all, this Moebius model kit of Elvira Mistress Of The Dark is a very cool model kit and is easy to put together. It will look great right out of the box, or you could put it in a shadow box diorama with a few of your other Aurora monster model kits for a really unique display. 

Skill Level 3 - For ages 15 and up.
