EXCLUSIVE: Super7 launches Vampira figure inspired by cult classic Plan 9 from Outer Space
By Mads Lennon
Collectors and Vampira fans, get ready to add something fantastic to your horror collection. 1428 Elm can exclusively reveal that Super7, the premier pop-culture designer and producer of countless iconic collectibles, toys, and apparel, is launching a ReAction Figure based on Vampira's appearance in Ed Wood's 1959 cult classic film Plan 9 from Outer Space!
The figure is an articulated 3.75" scale Vampira ReAction depicting the dark goddess in her signature slinky black dress and deathly pale skin. And of course, since the film was shot in black-and-white, you can expect the appropriate grayscale color scheme.
Imagine having your own little Vampira on your shelf, watching over you this Halloween season.
This ReAction Figure, which features premium paint detailing and an intricate sculpt, will be sold for the suggested retail price of $20. Order yours now!

The character of Vampira was created in the 1950s by actress Maila Nurmi, who imbued her dark goddess of horror with camp and terror. Her Vampira character became one of her most successful, and she would even go on to host The Vampira Show, broadcasting vintage horror movies.
Despite the show only running for one season (50 episodes back then), it remains a cult classic, allowing Vampira to cement her legacy in the horror world. Post-The Vampira Show, Nurmi would play Vampira again in several films, most notably in Plan 9 from Outer Space, about aliens enacting their evil "Plan 9" with Vampira working as one of their minions. Fun fact: When Tim Burton later made his 1994 Ed Wood biopic, he cast Lisa Maria to play Maila Nurmi/Vampira.
