The original version of the figure had certain details omitted in production, but with the advancement of molding technologies, the original prototype can now been captured in perfect detail. This completely new mold allows for all the finer details sculpted by Hiroki Katayama to the be included on the figure in eye-popping detail.

Back in 2004, the cherry blossom pattern of Kasumi’s outfit was deemed impossible to capture effectively and abandoned during mass-production, but recent advances in painting technologies have made it possible to add this impressive cherry blossom pattern to the refined version.

A glossy pearl paint coat has been applied to parts of her outfit around the arms and legs. This pearl coating provides a silky and somewhat translucent appearance that brings out the figure's charm more than ever before.

One of the more intricate aspects of the design which was absent from the original figure has been carefully sculpted onto her wrist and shin guards. The elegant design is combined with a pearl coat that makes for a stunning arrangement full of detail.

In recent years, figures often make use of paint that is smooth to the touch. This updated version of Kasumi utilizes this silky skin paint to give the figure an extraordinary level of smoothness and durability.
