Dorami has been released alongside Doraemon as part of the Figure-rise Mechanic Doraemon series. She's set up as Doraemon's little sister, and some of the mechanical frame parts are shared between the two.

The basic build is essentially the same kit as the Doraemon released alongside it, just with a different exterior. Everything matches — only the neck and arms articulate, the entire face has color separation except for the tongue which uses a sticker, and even the pocket opening and the stand peg hole on the back of the neck are all identical.

While they share the same frame skeleton, Dorami is missing one waist frame part compared to Doraemon, which makes her come out slightly shorter. On top of that, some of the outer frame parts have been changed to more feminine shapes and colors.

Dorami also comes with clear outer panels, so you can display her with the internal mechanics visible — though unlike Doraemon, no optional limb parts are included. Either way, it's a great item to build alongside Doraemon for a nice trip down memory lane. It's a clean, satisfying, and fun kit. :-)
