Thanks for that, but what a strange, extremely short show.......... not sure if i like it or not....... would be cooler if she actually went out of the castle and had adventures and stuff.......hmmm
edit: it appears to be just a promotion, so a real show may actually be in the works.

The show itself is a series of shorts, they're very common and popular in Japan (Hetalia, Chi's Sweet Home, Akiba-chan, etc), so yeah, that's an episode. The show is Fireball, the character is Drossel.  She's getting reissued in August according to Nihonju (they've already sold out on the pre-orders). Emerje |

Well I only say that because episode 13 seems to lead on to much more and they finally annouce the name of the show (within the show) and some sort of story. not sure if the show will get longer, but I think (or rather hope) it will get more envolved so to speak. It just seems to have a lot of potential...... hell if they can make a full fledged anime out of Lucky Star, they can certainly do something with this. Would this be the first fully 3d animated anime series? (and no i dont mean shorts because there are plenty of those)

I'm in the same boat as you MMJ, I have never seen the anime, but I saw her and started thinking about getting one, then my son saw it and went ga-ga over it, so I figured this would be a great way to check out Figma for the first time...
That said, mine should be here from HLJ Monday or Tuesday of next week, along with the first three July Revo figures...but I honestly think that I'm looking forward to her more than the Revos this time around...at least for now...
The only real "problem" for me is that I've been really busy with other things lately, and I just received a pair of each Jarknoid XO and Jarknoid Yeeg (and TH threw in a bunch of extra bagged parts to boot). Add to the fact that I've barely had time to really enjoy all of last months releases much yet and it's clear that my attention is going to be really divided in the coming weeks...
Still, very cool figure, can't wait to see her in person, thanks for all of the images and info everyone!!!
Now, if only HLJ could get more (more allocated stock that is) Golgo 13 figures since I missed out on the pre-orders...

Interestingly enough you guys may not know it but Drossel and the fireball shorts are a result of a collaboration between Disney Japan and Toei Animation.
LOL @ Disney.... ;D

You can still get one coldiron though it will cost you slightly more then retail. I paid 53 shipped for mine NCSX which are in NY so got it very fast (if you plan to get dont order through ebay it costs slightly more). I highly recomend it. sachiel, yes I know it was coproduced by Disney, wish they brought it over here or did some cool designs like that for our shores. phoenix, I know what you mean, I have been getting in so many things that i barely have time to mess around with them much. I manage to do drossel some how but I have 4 other figures just sitting on my kitchen table (the wife yells quite abit for that). I usually have to end up taking them off the kitchen table into my basement which I rarely go to (even though my entire collection is there), so i really forget about stuff when that happens. LOL my son (though only 2) loved the "nice lady robot" as he put it as well lol. My wife even took a liking to it, if for only a few seconds lol. Post your pics when you get yours......dont worry about fancy flashy photos, just take pics!! thats what im doing and i get a lot more coverage now. Next I will do Fate Stay night unlimited codes figure! though she made it to the basement so not sure when that will happen lol! |

I really love the new outfit, but I haven't decided if it's worth it, it's pretty expensive. Fate makes up both my favorite Revoltech and figma figures so I might bite around tax season if she's still available. Emerje |

Some nice shots there, MMJ! I particularly like the first reclining shot reading the book.
I missed out on the preorders for this one. I was considering ordering her from HLJ, but I browsed away to watch the Fireball shorts first. When I went back to HLJ, the preorders were closed, lol. Still trying to decide if she's worth the $50+ most places are asking now.

are the pics not enough!! lol well retail is around $32 plus shipping so lets say 39 (using SAL shipping) so you are really only paying 10 or so more, not too bad dont you think
