The princess of the Toyroom arrives and declares war on the opposing nation!…No, not really. but she is a fiesty little bugger, ain't she? Dat Drossel…

figma Drossel von Flugel is a long-awaited figma that I've been DYING to buy. I never intended on putting her in the comic, but I NEVER buy anything I don't wanna put in the comic. Except the BRS figmas, and they eventually be in it. The series she is from is called "Fireball", a Disney Japan original about a robot girl with the mind of a 12/14-year old in an era where robots are the dominant race, and standing at the head of the robots must she try to come to peace with the humans, with her faithful mechanical butler, Ge…Gedach….it's a pretty big German name, you don't expect me to remember it. I recommend watching it. There are two seasons, 13 episodes a season, and each episode is around 2 minutes long. Good for a quick laugh if you've watched enough Japanese shows to get the puns they pull off.

Guest starring in the comic is my dog, Dot. I tried to have Drossel ride her by the neck, like a certain scene from Toy Story 2 with Buster. Dot didn't move, but Drossel wouldn't stay on. And she kept looking at me with this, "Stop it right now." face…

-TOY/CHARACTER INTRODUCTION-
figma Drossel von Flugel is one of the earliest of the figma lines. Out of nearly more than 100 figmas, including the EX(clusives) and SP (Short Print? lol) lines, Drossel stands at number 38. Believing 38 to be a royal number, because 3 looks like half of an 8, which is formed by two "perfect" circles, Drossel views herself as a princess above the other toys, the men her knights, the women her royal subjects, and Pooky her…well, she's learned that there are SOME toys you don't want to mess with. Drossel is always daring and always open for change, but is close-minded about relationships, thus at odds with Black Gold Saw.

A note that Toyroom SOS will be taking a break for a week and a half-worth of releases and will resume Tuesday, 9/27/11. Also, look out for releases from my side-comic, MANZAI with MATOKU & YOMITA, running every other Sunday starting on 10/2/11 (one of the reasons why Toyroom SOS is going on break, so I can prepare for this as well)!
