Patriot Prime here once again with another NECA review. But before I get started, I need you guys to do me a favor. If you're watching this video right here and are not a subscriber of Patriot Prime Reviews, please hit that subscribe button right now. It won't cost you a thing, but will help me and my channel out tremendously. Now, on to the review. And the figure I'm taking a look at in this review is the brand new NECA 2020 Convention Exclusive Ultimate City Demon Predator. This Predator is a Walmart and NECA store exclusive that actually came out on July 23rd. I didn't see it appear in my Walmart, so I'm on NECA's site on the 23rd just hovering over that order button until it was ready to go. And I lucked out, got one right before they completely sold out. Now at the time of this filming right here, right now, I am seeing posts on some of the NECA groups I belong in that they are seeing this figure showing up at their local Walmart. So real quick, let's take a quick look at the packaging. This figure is in honor or an anniversary figure, if you will, of the 30th anniversary of Predator 2. I cannot believe this movie is 30 years old. Now the city demon figure is representing the scene where he's holding his staff up and gets hit by lightning. So he's got the lightning going on. And it's more honoring the scene where he kills King Willie in the alleyway. So as you can see, here we have the front of the box, side of the box, Predator 2 30th anniversary. Back of the box has the figure in some various poses. But what's really, really cool about this box is the gimmick when you open it up. Check that out. It's light sensitive, it has lightning flashes. That is so cool. Now as you can see, you've got a Predator figure right here. He's got two smart discs, a skull, five interchangeable hands. Yeah, the light's got to catch that just right or it's not working. And a spear, both compact and telescoped out. So this is really, really cool. I cannot wait to get this thing out of the package. This is awesome. So now without further ado, let's take a look at the ultimate city demon and welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. Now before we get started, I just wanted to show off that box gimmick one more time so you can get a better look at it. Let me go ahead and turn off all my lights here, save one. It's very sensitive. There's a light sensor right here. So the light has got to be directly on it. So you open it up and there you go. That is so cool. Like I said, I got to keep that light right on it. The sensor is right there. I love that. That is so cool. So now let's get this guy out of the box and take a closer look at him. Now once you get the ultimate city demon all opened and out of the packaging, you'll get a better look at all the different accessories he comes with. He's got the elongated spear right here, a collapsed spear, two smart discs, one closed, one open. He has two extra right hands, a kind of open hand and a more closed hand along with the wide open hand here. King Willy's skull and a left hand that is used to hold the spears. And now let's get a closer look at the demon himself. Now normally I don't buy translucent figures. I've just never been a fan of them. But for this guy, I had to make an exception because this is an iconic look for the predator. Taking a closer look at the figure, he has got some fantastic sculpted details. Of course, I wouldn't expect anything less from NECA. Taking a closer look at the head sculpt. He's got his trademark battle mask. I love the paint applications there on the eyes. Really makes it look like it's glowing white. And speaking of paint applications, these look great. It makes it really look like he's shorting out from stepping into the water. The tendrils on the back are, excuse me, the dreadlocks. They're made of a pliable plastic that really have a lot of movement to them. So you can kind of pose them however you'd like over the figure. He's got his plasma caster, which is on a swivel right here so it can move left and right. Can't really do a complete 360. It is going to hit the predator's head. Looking down here on the body, you can see the mesh body suit sculpted in. He's got these little pouches and flaps hanging off of him. And I thought those were strings attached, but I think it's rubber or very pliable plastic. So you won't be careful with those. More great details down on the legs. I love the sculpted detail on this figure. I think they really knocked it out of the park. Granted, the back of the figure is a little bit more clear than the front, but who displays their figures with the back facing forward. Now articulation for the guy. His head is on a ball joint. It can look up. It can look down. And it can rotate left and right. Can't really go all the way around because of the dreadlocks. The arms, they can go up and down. Very tight joints. Be warned. You do need to take a hairdryer or run this guy under some hot water to loosen him up a little bit because you don't want to break him. He does have a double bicep bend, a wrist rotation, and the hands are on a little ball joint. And there's a hinge right there that those can go up and down. Also the wrist blades right here can go in and out. And they are very stiff, so you won't be careful with those. But they can go in and out. He also has a waist rotation and a secondary joint up here right there at the abs. This side, same thing, except he does have the flip down control panel on this arm. And of course these hands, these are the splayed out hands so you can do that famous come at me bro predator stance. Let's see, the legs up down in and out. There is a knee bend. Actually a double knee bend. But this second one is really tight. But you can get it if you apply some pressure. There's also a ankle rotation and ankle pivot. So lots of great posibility with the guy. You can really pull off some neat looks. Right there is one of my favorites. Now let's take a look at some of the accessories. The first accessory is this elongated spear right here. Predator 2 was the movie where it showcased that he does have more gadgets than just the plasma caster and wrist blades. Lots of nice molded detail is painted to look exactly like the predator with the short circuiting of the cloaking device. So you got that and then there is the enclosed or closed spear. Great molded detail on that as well. Now what's really cool is on the back of the predator there is a clip right here. So you can store the closed version of the spear. And that's probably what I will do because I'm not really going to pose him with the closed version because this one looks much more badass. Now in order to pose him with the spear you have to attach the extra left hand that is open. So you just slide the spear in the hand. This one finger likes to bend up so you want to make sure and bring that down and around. So now he is gripping the spear and then we just pull this hand out. A lot of twisting and tugging. Put the other hand in. Same thing now we are twisting and pushing. So there you have the predator wielding his spear. So that looks really cool and he loses the one on the back so we will just put that away for now. So I do like that. I like how he can hold his spear. That's pretty neat. I dig it. I dig it. Now the other weapon he comes with is the smart disk. You have this smart disk right here that is the closed version. Then you have the open version here. Now you can take the closed version and put it in his hand or there is a storage area right here on his leg. This is a pain in the ass to get in because there is a little lip that you have to fit this in and you kind of have to work it around until it goes in completely and it can take some work to get in there. And that's about as good as I can get it. I just can't get it to completely go over the disk itself. I mean it's in there. It's not going anywhere but it's not as secure as I'd like it to be. The other disk like I said is the open version and if you use one of the extra hands the predator can actually wield this. So the hand you want to use is this one right here. It's kind of a barely opened hand. Same as before you want to take this hand out. I'm going to be very cautious of those blades and now you'll just match up the holes with the fingers. So let's see we have the thumb hole right there. It's actually easier to start with the fingers first. Get all those in. And now we have the predator holding his smart disk and that's pretty cool looking. So you have the option right there. You can display him with the disk open. You've got the other one stored there on his leg. You've got to love the options. Now he does come with this other right hand and this one really can't do anything. It's got a very tight grip. All the fingers are fused together. He's got kind of a thumbs up look going on. I can't fit any of the accessories in the hand but I guess you can still pop it in for a different look for your display. One last accessory that I forgot about is King Willie's skulls. This is another neat addition and you can actually place this in the predator's hand if he has the open hand attached. And I think that looks awesome. That'll probably be how I display my city demon predator. And now for some quick size comparisons. Here is NECA's 2020 Convention Exclusive Ultimate City Demon with the NECA Ultimate Jungle Hunter. NECA's Ultimate Terminator T-800. And NECA's Ultimate Big Chap Alien. The NECA 2020 Convention Exclusive Predator 2 Ultimate City Demon is an awesome figure. I have just recently started collecting NECA this year. The only other predator I have is the Jungle Hunter. And I think this figure is going to look great beside him up there on my shelf. Couple minor complaints. The joints can be scary tight unless you warm them up with a hairdryer or some hot water. I hate the holster for the smart disc. It just is too much work to put it in and it still doesn't secure very well. Other than those two minor complaints, I love this guy. My biggest problem right now is the box is so awesome. So as much as I'd like to display him with my other predator, part of me wants to put him in the box to display him with that lightning effect. So I guess I'm going to have to get a quarter and flip to the side. So does the NECA 2020 Convention Exclusive Ultimate City Demon belong in your collection? Absolutely. If you're a predator fan, you are going to love this figure. But good luck finding one. He's sold out completely on NECA's online store. And as I said, he's hitting Walmart's right now. So best of luck and good hunting. Yes, that pun was intended since this is a predator video.
