Sweet clanky Jesus.
I want to oil her joints

I wonder If we'll ever get a 3rd Fireball series?
What about a short film?
>>65381972
back shes megatrons booty bitch
>>65382309
if we had a mechanic here we could theorize how much she weighs
>>65382440
chickaboo?
>>65382431
Engineering fag here, it's actually a pretty tough call.
Even at a rough 5 feet (considering how very little in the series there is to accurately gauge size against) it's still a crap shoot. The present day servos able to deliver enough motive torque to allow her to move as she does would be just too huge to fit in that slender frame, never mind a large factor is what she's actually made OF.
Ball parked though as a slender bit of future space servos made of mostly titanium and some steel, wrapped in a polymer shell and a rough 5.5 feet? Somewhere around 300-350 lbs.

Well there was a guy I met in a /v/ thread thatI accidentally derailed into a Drossel threadwho said he was commissioned to make a 4ft Drossel statue but it went nowhere because the guy backed out
>>65382269
Well, the first ends on an ambiguous note and the second is a prequel that leads directly into the original
So it'd be difficult to place if it was still following what passes for a story

That wiggle was clearly put in just for the robophiles. It's too random not to be, even for the weird poses she does in the rest of the show. "We have two seconds of Drossel standing still" they said "Make her gyrate her hips with the camera focus on her ass"

I bet you all like this robot because its hips are large and it is white also it is Japanese so I bet if it was a black box that spoke German you wouldn't like it as much.

You've never fapped to 2001: A Space Odyssey?
How fucking pleb. It must be sad to still get stuck on vanilla shit and not branch out. Hell, I started masturbating to complex metaphysical manifestations of knowledge and intelligence over a decade ago, and I've never looked back.
Imagine all the pinching you would have to endure just to hug Drossel. It would not be very pleasant, I think it's one of those "admire from a distance" things.
So where is the best place to acquire her and how much of a dent on the wallet are we talking

>>65383498
Why not just a sequel?
Or a prequel to the prequel.
>>65397631
Fireball ends with the humans advancing into the tower and Drossel deciding to man up and face them
The series treats the whole human war as a (relatively) serious matter, so it'd be jarring to see how they go from "the invaders are probably here to kill you" back to "crazy robot girl being spoiled and weird" again
>>65397627

It's not. It's made by Disney, but it's Japanese and technically anime.

I really need a native speaker to tell me if Drossel's full name means something more coherent than "Throttle Juno Fourteenth heater Princess of blade" though
>>65398384
That's quite a title.
I have to have one now but ive never bought a figma before. Is it better to buy straight out of nip land or should i be bugging /toy/ ?
>>65398606
>a figma
Just so you know, Figma is a brand. Drossel has been made as a Figma, a Chogokin and a Nendoroid. You'll be wanting either a Figma or Chogokin I'm guessing since Nendo's are chibi
If you're willing to pay obvious scalper prices, you can buy from Plamoya. If you want to pay a little less in return for potential damage, check Mandarake. If you like waiting, you can wait for a second-hand to go up on AmiAmi. Or there is /toy/'s very own Buy/Sell General if you want to deal with other people but not with eBay.
>>65398679
thank you for the help and pointing out my idiocy with useful information
>>65398813
If you go for Mandarake, search for Drossel and ?????, you'll get more (Japanese) results
Be sure to keep google translate open
>>65398848
i was checking them out and saw how many versions were sold out. thanks for the extra help cause it found the version i wanted still in stock
>>65398997
No problem, which one was it?
Oh, and when they say "box damage" they're talking to the hardcore, autistic Jap collector crowd. The box is pretty much guaranteed to be near flawless
>>65399042
The one with more accessories . The cheaper one lacks a few things.I wouldnt have minded from Plamoya but even the s&h went up for that version. Unless you have advice that the version with less acessories is just as fine in which case the price + s&h evens out when doing it vs. the mandrake
>>65399221
Well the Chogokin is larger and partially made out of metal to compensate having fewer accessories
Also the spiky headdress the Figma has is super fragile so I wouldn't recommend actually trying to use it
>>65399284
well thanks a lot for the help then and sorry for the delays in reply. really lookin into this since ive never done it before.
>>65382309

>>65399360

/toy/ is a strange place
>>65398384
Duchess of Wings actually.
If you haven't noticed, the city is floating in the sky and her title is "the 19th Lord of Uranos' Kingdom's Tempest Domain", so it kinda fits.

>>65401505

>>65398848

>>65396553
>>65396562
Imagine them making a proper movie that explained the backstory and further cleaned up the history of the royal family. Then it will be japan exclusive, because the japs a dicks
>>65401584
Does it need an explanation, though? Part of the series appeal is how surreal it is
For all Charming did to explain Fireball, it still left a lot of questions on just what the hell is going on
>>65398384
Drossel is a kind of bird, pic related, flügel means wing and "gedächtnis" means memory.
>>65401874
>Poor Little White Gynoid

Drossel(that bird) Juno ( roman goddess*), 14th heater battery princess of wing
*Individualized, she became a female guardian angel; as every man had his genius, so every woman had her juno. Thus, she represented, in a sense, the female principle of life.
the only thing that seems off is the heater battery thing . . . she was named after a bird and her last name is that of a female goddess. the rest is just her being the 14th (heater battery ) princess of wing
now knowing what gedächtnis means kinda hurts now that i rewatched it
>>65402074
Please, you uncultured swine, it's merely her maker's factory mark

>>65404664
The age of robots is coming.
It's best we do the same.
Talk about poseable.
What a show, it's about a robot that does not know what the humans are already in her house and some staunch cunt is going to Blast that fucking tower of Babylon with asimo and the forklift inside it.
>>65386678
is that a human in a robot suit?
>>65405167
Do you think they knew what they were doing when they designed this thing?
>>65407189
Considering it's Japan, absolutely
>>65402217
>title is Duchess
>name is Princess
Oh that wacky Japan
>>65401724
>>65398384
I assumed "Drossel" was shortened from Herr Drosselmeyer, from The Nutcracker. He was a clockmaker and inventor who built a toy castle full of mechanical people, including the titular Nutcracker.
>>65408611
could she be actually be mozart?
>>65408831
That's impossible, for one she's a girl/robot and besides I couldn't even live that long anyway
>that intro and outro of fireball
Fuck, I would murder somebodies mother for a full version.
>>65408611
It makes sense but then, her father is called Windstille von Flügel so there's definitely a wind/air related thing going on with her name
>>65408899
>mfw the new intro music they made for Charming
Looks like you'd have to rip the audio from the DVD and glue the outro onto the intro when it starts to fade out
>>65409006
Honestly, it's probably both.
They start with Drosselmeyer, shorten to Drossel, and then wonder what it means. So they find out it's a thrush, and write the rest around the theme of birds/wings/flight.
All this robot fetishism makes me think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7tVAaxsBig
>>65409322
Apparently they released a CD with several tracks on it. Unfortunately every place I look is dead. And knowing my luck, the track in question would end in the same way it does in the show itself, that is, within 15 seconds.
>>65409611

>>65378739
why?
I love my Chogokin
>>65414076
is there any major differences between figma and chogokin? I might buy one
>>65414138
Figma is way more pose-able, but the Chogokin is heftier, and of a higher quality.
I want to get both.
>>65414138
Chogokin is larger, with a metal lower half
Figma is smaller, all plastic, poses a little better and has more accessories
>>65414193
What do you mean by higher quality? Do you mean it doesn't break as often?
>>65414245
Thicker plastics, and parts of it are metal.
Neither should break, if you take care of your things.
>>65414301
Tell me about the poseability. Is there any kind of movements figma can make that chogokin can't?
>>65414016
Why not?
>>65414368
The figma just bends farther.
Looks like most of the pictures in this thread are figmas, because my chigokin can't do most of these
>>65404812
>>65411871
>>65404766
>>65396263
...Damn, now I really want a figma.
>>65414612
Alright you convinced me figma it is
>>65388439
>I bet you like this robot because it looks like a woman
>>65414654
Get both, so they can love on each other a bit.
>>65414700

>>65414751

It's when they're 150+ that it becomes silly.
>>65414969
Mandarake has a damaged one for 56, Plamoya has a new one for 144
'Course that doesn't cover shipping or customs
>>65415031

Didn't think this would last past a day. Drossel is love, Drossel is life
These threads seem like ploys to sell more drossel figures

It's a shame he doesn't get more love.

Gedächtnis' design is pretty neat, but i'm pretty sure he wouldn't be able to walk with the way his weight is distributed and the shape of his feet.
Have her in the mail and she should be free from her boxed prison by Friday

Drossel's peg feet are pretty ridiculous too
Thinking about it, the pair swapped feet when they were redesigned in Charming. Drossel got pointy pegs and Gedächtnis got sensible flat feet. They also swapped agility, OG Gedächtnis can move a lot faster and Charming Drossel bounces around like a lunatic
I get the feeling it was a deliberate choice but I can't see a reason for it beyond "hey we did this deliberately, notice!"
