The upcoming NECA Demona figure has inspired me to finally review this old vinyl figure from the mid-nineties. This line was unknown to me at the time, but I discovered them on eBay in the early 2000s and I heard rumor that they were originally exclusive to the Disney Store (but can't exactly prove that). They are impressively large and well-sculpted. I only own Demona and she is not articulated, so I assume the rest similarly stationary. They have a quality of that reminds me of supersized PVC figures like the little ones that were so prevalent throughout the 80s and 90s. Demona has odd coloring that is more reminiscent of her daughter Angela. Angela has black hair and very dark wing-membranes. Demona has red hair and light purple membranes. But the sculpt with the crown, belt buckle, armband, and single shoulder strap are uniquely Demona. It's a rare enough of a figure that I'm not comfortable painting her hair, however tempting that may be. Let's check out the 1995 Applause Demona below!
Demona originally came with a simple hangtag and no packaging. Pic swiped from eBay.
Here is a photo from an old online auction. I believe this is the full set.
Clockwise from Top Left: Lexington, Goliath, Broadway, Demona, Brooklyn, and Hudson.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here are some of my Demonas together: Funko Pop, Applause Vinyl. and the vintage Kenner figure.
Cheers!
