SR Drossel Gashapons!

Posted by Mr. Kammy [www] 

My Play-Asia package arrived today, inhabiting the 2 Drossels I ordered (Was 2 max. per person D:)
Thankfully, it looks like they sorted them so you wouldn't get any doubles. Which is pretty neat.

I myself got these two. Normal and Combat mode.
You might notice how one doesn't have any black bolts in her..

..That's because you gotta put those in yourself.
It's a REAL PAIN. Such small things in such small holes with ultimate precision or it'll slip out of your fingers, onto the ground and gets lost in the dust.

Thankfully, I somehow managed to get them all into both.

You might also notice some fingers are articulated.
Really, don't move the thumb too much or it'll slip out.
Getting it back in is almost as annoying as the bolts.

Figma Drossel joins the photoshoot.
Lightsaber in one hand, Siesta-armband on the other. Saving the day.
If she had some actual bunny ears, she could go and become an official member of the Siesta Sister Corpse.

What Siesta number would she be? Hmm..

You can balance them, but the joints are bit loose so LOTS of trial and error.
They aren't as articulated as her Figma oneesama, mainly the elbows. You can't turn them around. Just up/down like an 80's action figure.

The pigtails of normal Drossel was also a bit annoying. Gotta insert a lot of force to get that balljoint in without breaking it.
Had to get some help from a family member because my fingers got sweaty D:

All in all, they're pretty neat, but can be a pain to assemble.
Gladly you won't have to do that ever again when you're done.

    Damn. Feel like buying one or 2 right now xD. Looks pretty neat and can be a temporary replacement until i have money for the real deal.

      That's the Greenwich unit. It's popped up on a few merchandise but wasn't in the show. It'll most likely been in season two, that started production a long time ago.

    I'd take some sharpies and put lines on them.

      Well built..
      One Drossel is:
      Body with head on it, the arms, bottom with legs on it, those annoying black bolts and whatever is additional to it (Normal version being the pigtails).
      Kinda like putting a lego character together. Nothing fancy.

    I knew the black bolts were gonna be tiny, but I was still surprised when I got mine. It was hard for me to even twist them off of the plastic thingy with my big fingers XD
