Hee, the dromel is cute for sure. It’s funny how something that is vaguely humanoid can be made to express emotions with certainty better than an actual face. I guess it’s the fact that the most basic expressions are distilled to the four basic types.

It’s a cute picture to see it all schoolgirl like next to Haruhi. It’s a MOE LOLI ROBOT omg.

I find it interesting that the most expressive figma in existence is a robot.

It’s sort of the uncanny valley deal. Most human figmas pose awkward, still not human enough. And it’s made worse when people don’t know how to pose a human for balance and stuff.

Drossel being a robot makes it easier to forgive, and any sort of expressive pose is enhanced simply because she’s a robot. She’s got nice balance because of her large thighs and calves, and black revealed joints, allowing for more “forgiveness” of unnatural posing.

Haruhi would probably say: “Oh sh*t! you’re a robot? Are you from StargummieKyon planet?”

Drossel: “Urrr….”

Haruhi:” okay, good. Let’s be friend from now on and do lots of punny stuff”

I havent seen the Nutcracker so I cant validate that.
I thought it came from the bird named Drossel wich is called Thrush in English.

I can kind of see why she is though, since she doesn’t have the ugly joint problem and the whole robo-hatsune-miku thing. Not sure why they named her Drossel — I guess I can imagine a play on Drosselmeyer from the Nutcracker.

I didnt expect Drossel to be such a huge hit among fellow Otakus.
Do you have any Idea why her name is German?

I think it’s the fact she is a robot and that her design hides the ugly joints of most figmas is what drew me. Previously, I’d found figmas to be unappealing.
