Her hips are the standard ball joints and she can kick forward and back, since she doesn’t technically have an ass. Demona has a ball joint in the torso below her bust and a waist twist below that. All of the hinges are horizontal, which is unfortunate for the trigger hand. She can raise her arms out to the side without much trouble and has a biceps swivel, double elbows, and wrists that swivel and hinge. There’s no lower neck joint and her shoulders are ball-hinges. NECA could have fixed that with either a second hairpiece or with a hinge in it, but chose not to. The head is on a double ball-peg, but her hair keeps her from being able to look up which is unfortunate for flying poses. It’s also sculpted to have a page torn out and that missing page will come with a future figure – a nice attention to detail.ĭemona may be smaller than Goliath, but she essentially articulates the same. It’s well-sculpted and the paint looks awesome as it has this distressed look to it and it can even open. She also has her Grimorum Arcanorum which is really cool. I’m assuming it appeared that way in the show so I’m not faulting the toy here, just pointing it out for review. The bazooka has a trigger and a more conventional design that’s easy to get the character to grip, while the other gun is more cumbersome with no actual trigger. One is a bazooka while the other is some kind of laser canon. Demona also has various hands including open, clawing hands, fists, a trigger-finger right hand, and a modified gripping left hand for her book or gun. It’s appropriately unsettling, so much so that I almost don’t like looking at it, but it definitely works. Her face pops off easily and she has a screaming, red-eyed, face to go in its place. Bandai has been doing this for years with its figures, and I’m surprised it took NECA this long as it would have been easy to do with Goliath. And that feature is she uses faceplates instead of swapping an entire head. Maybe Disney just didn’t want people sneaking a peek under Demona’s top? Which does raise the question: why do female gargoyles have breasts? They’re an egg-laying species, most of which don’t nurse their young, but they are fantastic beasts so I guess they can follow different rules.ĭemona comes with more stuff than we’re used to, and she even has a new feature that I wish Goliath had. It’s interesting as I suspect NECA will want to reuse much of this mold for Angela at some point, but her top is different. Either that, or the torso is cut-out to fit it so it can be glued down. She basically just has a top and loincloth with the bottom piece being separate while the top appears to be part of the mold. Like Goliath, she’s inspired by the cartoon, but has added detail to make her look a bit more “alive.” It’s a bit less pronounced as she doesn’t need giant, rippling, muscles and it’s mostly seen in the texture added to her clothing. She has a big tuft of red hair that looks quite nice and the pale blue-gray of her skin lines up well with her appearance in the cartoon. Not only is she shorter than her former beau, she’s more slender as she has a very feminine physique that mixes with the gargoyle anatomy. It’s a bit smaller than Goliath’s since Demona is a smaller character. Unlike Goliath, her book can actually open and close.ĭemona is sold in the standard NECA Ultimates five-panel window box. Like Goliath, she brought reading material.
