This kit is the Lumitea ReACT-iF, released as part of Kotobukiya's Arcanadea series. It's a costume variant of the previously released Arcanadea Lumitea, and unlike the original fantasy-style fashion, ReACT-iF is based on the concept of applying real-world fashion to the character.
It's billed as a costume variant, but in practice it's an entirely new kit with completely new sculpting — quite a fresh concept, reimagining a fantasy-world character in real-world fashion. The overall quality is on par with previous releases and feels similar in style and composition to the Sousai Shojo Teien kits. Articulation and joint strength are both solid, and you get a large long skirt along with 4 short skirts.
That said, the short skirts do significantly limit hip articulation. The thighs can only swing forward when using the short skirt designed for a seated pose. This is a common issue with fixed-style skirts, and it's probably best seen as a trade-off in favor of aesthetics over poseability. As for accessories, only a single bag is included, which does feel a little sparse. On the plus side, you get a bonus curved rear ribbon decoration for the original Lumitea that can be used in floor-seated poses, and 6 white hand parts for Lumitea are thrown in as well.
All in all, it's a fun concept kit that brings a fantasy character into the real world. It's a bit more modest compared to the flashy, high-quality earlier Arcanadea releases, but it's still a pretty enough kit visually as a girlpla. Either way, it seems like a solid recommendation for anyone who enjoys girlplas. :-)
