Figma 038: Drossel Arrives

Was looking for somthing else, stumbled upon somthing else... Passing thru in Pyramid, stop by at Dream Toy..

saw the drossel on display.. (which i tot is extinct from any local shops).. i tot its not for sale... but it is... but how come its still there.. the catch is, one wrist arm broken, but same price...

aiya.. no wonder... but since i can't get it elsewhere... not anymore at the old price (current price is 10-20% higher than previous).. so i took it with a lil discount.. surely it won't have any re-sell value, coz, well, BIB+one broken wrist, its kinda hard to put a price eh.. so hey, got it anyway.. but i noticed the drossell i harder to pose compared to other figmas,

probably she's a robot, so, kinda stiff la.. actually its due to the ball joints, which are kinda tight n stiff.. but heck, its not meant to be an action figure anyway..

But hey, who is drossel?? well, as explained by mr.wikipedia;
Fireball is a series of CGI anime shorts created by Toei Animation in conjunction with Disney[1]. It is animated entirely in 3D with no cel-shading of any sort, as would be typical for the medium.
The show takes place in the distant future of the 49th millennium, and revolves around the happenings inside a giant manor (named 'Tempest Tower') inhabited by two robots; the gynoid duchess Drossel von Flügel (full name and title: the 19th Lord of Uranos' Kingdom's Tempest Domain, Drossel Juno Vierzehntes Heizregister Fürstin von Flügel; voiced by Miyuki Kawashō) and her massive cyclopian servant, Gedächtnis (voiced by Toru Okawa). The episodes are usually nonsensical in nature, normally showing the two characters making idle conversation in the midst of a war with humanity. A third character, a monkey-robot named "Schadenfreude", joins them later.

Episode 1 - Watching the Water-Living Animals: Drossel demands of Gedächtnis that he show her images of dolphins.
Episode 2 - 9:25: Gedächtnis is having some trouble with his eye.
Episode 3 - The Day the Dolphin Flew: Drossel discovers some odd headgear.
Episode 4 - St. Elmo's Fire: Drossel wants to know if the Tower has received any letters.
Episode 5 - Demon of the Frontal Lobe: Gedächtnis has more technical problems - this time with his brain.
Episode 6 - An Unwavering Heart: Enemy bombardment causes problems at Tempest Tower.
Episode 7 - Prophecy: Drossel considers peace-talks with the humans.
Episode 8 - The Monkey in the Seat: Drossel is having trouble getting comfortable.
Episode 9 - Butterfly: Drossel wants a pet.
Episode 10 - Final Stop: A rainstorm brings to light Tempest Tower's lack of resources.
Episode 11 - Intruders: Drossel's exercises are interrupted.
Episode 12 - The Virtual Eye: The monkey-robot's antics cause problems of a decidedly ocular nature.
Episode 13 - The Place Where Dreams Are Born: Gedächtnis has both good news and bad news.
