Elle Driver - Neca

Elle Driver / California Mountain Snake

Elle Driver, A.K.A. California Mountain Snake, is another swordswoman loyal to Bill. Unlike the Bride's relationship with O-Ren and Vernita, where there seemed to be a genuine friendship and professional respect, Elle and the Bride despise each other with a passion. Nonetheless, they do seem to treat each other with a grudging respect. Elle even describes the The Bride as "the greatest warrior [she] had ever met" and also said that she deserved better than to have supposedly met her end at the hands of some one like Budd. (The latter claim, however, this seemed to be mere vanity in that she was declaring herself the one worthy to kill The Bride.) She was trained by Pai Mei, like Bill and The Bride, but Elle disrespected Pai Mei and he plucked out her right eye. She has worn a distinctive eye-patch ever since. In retaliation, she murdered Pai Mei by poisoning his fish heads. She is depicted as greedy and sadistic, while offering large amounts of money to buy The Bride's Hanzo sword from Budd, and planting a black mamba (the Bride's namesake) in the suit-case carrying this money. The black mamba bites Budd and kills him. In their climactic fight, The Bride pulls out Elle's remaining eye and leaves her for dead alone in the trailer with the black mamba. Elle's fate is left ambiguous, and in the film's end credits, when lines are drawn through the names of the Deadly Vipers, Elle's is left with a question mark over it. Figure comes with hatori hanzo sword, black mamba snake, red suitcase, 2 wads of cash, notebook & custom base
