Figma Drossel

From Miscellaneous

~ Presenting the royal duchess from 'Fireball'~!

No, i haven't really watched the animation series yet but seeing this ultra-cool gynoid for the very 1st time on dannychoo.com has made me put her on the top of my wishlist since quite a while ago... To begin with, this Figma Drossel has been quite a hot commodity on the market & isn't easy to come by; no thanks to the over-demand, its price tag has been quite inflated... but my darling got it for me as a surprise for my birthday~! Thanks, dearie! ^_*

'Fireball' is a series of CGI anime shorts created by Toei Animation in conjunction with Disney, hence the very cutesy propositions of the character design. It features the Figma series' brilliant joint system (more sturdy compared to my Revoltech Yoko) ~ very easy to strike dynamic poses without requiring support from the base stand that comes with the kit.

Comes with a full arsenal of what i call 'fashion gestures' units ~ i.e 4 pairs of optional hand parts, 2 interchangeable head units + Obruchev flight unit, a very high-tech looking memory device, & the PROSPERO book.

She's a very lively character, ain't she?

That must be the PROSPERO book.... or bible =p

i can almost read the words, but not sure what language it is written in...

Very intricate looking head piece

that transforms into the Obruchev flight unit!

Donning that memory device transports her mind back into the 18th century

when she was a kung fu master! =p

Figma Drossel meets Revoltech Yoko

behind the scenes shot.... hehe ^_*
This blue-eyed model is definitely capable of striking very compelling poses... if only they'd made her with optional LEDs to light up her eyes. =D

Yoko Gurren-hen

Presenting the absolutely gorgeous red-hot Yoko, the Gurren Brigade’s master sharpshooter; superbly crafted 1/6 scale PVC statue by Kotobukiya that has been on my wishlist from since quite sometime ago =)

Yoko-in-a-box

Packs plenty of finely crafted firepower arsenal as well!

Snugly wrapped in blanket of plastics upon arrival...

Accesorised Yoko

Includes an extra pair of barrettes (winky + crazy), an interchangeable winky face (cuter, in my opinion), neck warmer, & half a pair of boot...

Aside from the awesome arsenal of weaponry,

that combines together to form her signature Superconducting Sniper Rifle

which, can also be configured into a much shorter sub-machine gun. The level of details on the weaponry is simply mind blowing! ~ it’s got a very detailed eye-scope, detachable ammunition & battery pack! Even the lever slider can slide back & forth!

Yoko assumes a relaxed stance, perched on a stool (essentially a figure base that moulds into her lower curves & let’s her sit properly *nice*); taking a well deserved break from fighting Beastmen =)

*inspiration from dannychoo.com ~ wallpaper in the monitor backdrop

Simply gorgeous, ain’t she? An immaculate masterpiece which, i think is one of the best from Kotobukiya so far.

Accentuated curves, n-i-c-e asset =p

Sexy back(s); that includes that cutesy little creature on her knee with the star-ed rear...

That’s tiny Boota

Yoko with her trusty weapon leaning against her...

Checkout the size of that rifle... it’s almost 30cm long!

Smiley face or...

^_* Wink* wink* this expression i likey better...

There's even a brief assembly manual attached...

Lil’ sis meets big sis... (micro Yoko: Fraulein Revoltech Yoko which i got prior to this)

Monkey meets Yoko... monkey’s going ga..ga...ga... *drool*

Saber meets Yoko...

Saber’s my 1st figurine masterpiece collection; looking great as usual...

Let’s get the party started! My desktop congregation just got hotter! =D

Fraulein Revoltech Yoko ~ Movie Version

On my last trip back home, i paid a visit to the much anticipated goodies shops at Spring L2 which, had just opened its doors recently & couldn't resist bagging this loot.

This cutie is Yoko, the red-hot sharp shooter from the Gurren Brigade and is part of Kaiyodo's Fraulein Revoltech lineup which, features action figures of female characters from popular anime titles & is famous for its super-poseability thanks to the utilization of the innovative E.L.F. + Revoltech joint system.

She comes with a plethora of fire-power arsenal to boot as well ~ that signature superconducting sniper rifle, a sub-machine gun, a handgun, a pair of hair pins (looked more like a weapon to me) & a display stand (essential! Her legs can’t seem to support her heavy head + hair in certain poses); other changeable body parts include an interchangeable face with a somewhat angry expression, a ponytail hair part (it’s got a revoltech joint as well!!) and 9 optional hands. Oh ya, it’s got bigger boobs; =p some facelift aspects from the earlier version of revoltech Yoko.

Here are some snapshots of Yoko’s indoor potraiture shoot =p

Kawaii neh?

The pose i thought she’d look best in; damn hard to get her to pose in this stance without the support from the display stand; she’s got a heavy top...*still she looked funny..*

Slightly visible awkward joints, only from side or back view (this an articulative action figure, bah!)

Yoko in sniper-mode

Doing splits while juggling the sub-machine gun with such poise

Some feminine presence on my macho gunpla filled desktop would strike a more balanced visual pleasing sight, i figured =D
