I got this in the mail yesterday and was so excited i wasn't able to take good photos and just snapped it together.
For the longest time I've wanted an ED-209 figure/model kit. for a while the only thing in the market was the vinyl kit. Then came the NECA figure.

I came across this sometime during the summer of 2020. Pre-order was open un the fall and just a few weeks ago i bit the bullet and "pre-ordered" it (it shipped a few days later).
This kit is made of mostly soft styrene with some soft vinyl and hard nylon parts for joints. Also included (bag in upper right) are shafts for the leg linear drive, springs, and wires. The bag at the upper left are pre-assembled joints.
Manual is a wide stiff paper folded into 5 pages double-sided.
Some close up photos of the parts to give you an idea of the level of detail this kit has.
Below are the pre-assembled joints. As you can guess, the block on the upper left is for the "torso". The joints have a ratcheting system that helps it maintain its pose.
The "mouth". I should've turned on my flash for this shot.
I ought to invest in better photography set up if i plan to upload more photos regularly. Hope you find these photos helpful in deciding whether or not you'd want one of these. They're quite expensive.
