Chogokin Fireball Charming Drossel

I am having a hard time in how to start this review. I never see her from anywhere which I Google up a bit & find out Drossel is from a computer animation by Disney which shown in Japan. She is indeed charming & with the Chogokin label, I make my purchased from one of my local shop for 6,000 Yen in compare with her SRP of 9,000 Yen.

She doesn't sell very well in compare with her previous release version of Fireball Drossel which seems to be completely swept off from all the toys shop. Anyway, I didn't have the previous version so nothing much I can do to compare both of them.

She is pack in a thin box & house in a plastic tray.

The accessories includes 5 pairs of extra hands, 1 different head, 3 wheels, 2 extended feet pieces, 2 figures holder, 1 rose, 1 display base & 1 sword.

How shall I start. I have taken all photographs before I enter it into this review. And only for this time I first encounter the hardship in writing it out. Put in this way, normally I will taken the standing pose of her after unboxing her. However! She can't stand by her own or might be due do my table aren't flat enough for her to stand! Despite of installing her extended feet support, she unable to stabilize herself to stand up by her own. At the end, she supported by her feet & hair?

At the end, the whole review I will have her hold firm by the stand (Well, it can't really stabilize her due to her weight)

Into the details. Can you see those pistons?

Range of movement she can perform (This is the best part, double ankle & knee joint. Flexible arms, shoulder, waist & hips. Basically she can perform most of the pose you can think of).

Gimmicks bundled.

 
To swap her head & hands. You just have to used forced!! lolx. Pull out push in!! (Actually some of the hands kind of loose which is kind of disappointing with her)

After swapping the head.... Hey, nice to meet you~

What? You will post my picture online?? Wait for a moment for me to pose for you~ Ok. I am ready ^.^

Peace!

Flower for me?? Oh my, thank you (blushes)

Force of evil! Come if you dare....

 Transform.....

 Phew... Being a model is not an easy task...

Ok ok... Let's call this a day... Enough of posing... Peace out...

As you can see, despite that she lack of facial expression. Combination of her hands & movements do develops numbers of personality & interaction with us. I can say that she is definitely an eye candy & photogenic. But the handling process (at least for myself) is not a pleasant experience. Loosing joints of the stands, constantly pop out of her hands, stabilizing her for not falling off & etc....

To buy or not to... This will be a tough question to answer. As you can see, she fall under nice to see & not good to handle category. Even with her Chogokin label, I can't really feel much weight from her. Painting wise is nice. Snowy white with smooth surface. No smear paint job can be detected (since are all in white). In considering all these factors, I will definitely regret if I am buying her with original SRP even yesterday when I am handling her I am quite disappointed with her. However, in writing this review I think it still worth with the discounted price (admiring of her beauty, she do have some kind of charm don't you think so?).
