For those fans of the sweet, sophisticated gynoid duchess; particularly those that missed (and still missing) the Drossel von Flugel Figma from Disney's epic win shot at 3D Sci-Fi anime "Fireball;" the often turned down company Yujin is now offering them as 10-cm articulated SR figures!
Line-up: Normal Version/no gizmos; Flight Version; Fighter Version and Prayer Version
Yes, they have some sort of articulation on them based on the photos. The articulation may not be as good as the Figma but we can't be too picky.
...and let's give Yujin the benefit of the doubt. These Drossel babies are definitely well-sculpted. It really shows that Yujin had improved since their scantily-clad Lineage SR's.

It was supposedly scheduled for a January release but was postphoned on June but still undecided until that time. Finally, the "SR Fireball" is to be released late August according to an announcement in the official blog.
*insert that big image up there here*
By the way, "Fireball" consists of 13 short stories which was broadcast in Disney Channel on April 2008. It was compiled as a 2-part 3DCG animation work. This is Disney's first shot in producing animation with a Japanese staff. Interesting!
The protagonist, "Drossel," can definitely charm any person that looks at her princess-like poses. Although she is an android without any facial expressions, still it doesn't hinder a person from being interested with her.
Well, the "SR Fireball" has a full movable specification (added articulation feature) which Yujin is proud to present along with their history in making figures in their SR line. Total figure height is approximately 10 cm. There are four figures in the line-up and wow, they're all Drossel girls! However, they should give the steward, Gedatchinis a chance. Don't you think so? (Cain Nox's note: I AGREE!!! :/ )
- Normal Version
- Foppish Flight Unit which appeared in episode 3 with two-tail specification
- Kapoeira / Karate of the eleventh episode with a grapple unit
- Prayer unit which has not yet appeared in the main series so far.
This line-up is indeed expected as the fans had been made to wait (Cain Nox's note: Oh really? Actually I've only heard about this now. ^^;) and that MAX Factory "Figma" (3200 Yen June release) sold like pancakes. The definite release date for this is currently not well-decided as there are two tentative release dates

To those who are familiar with the "SR," These figures are to be sold in Gashapon machines with that [Gachiya!] sound when you insert the coin and turn the lever.
*insert explanation about the line-up which was already explained by Plaza-Rakuten*
Along with the normal and two units that appeared in the main story, this line-up presents a never-before-seen unit.
