Limb articulation.
You'll need to swap in the articulated skirt to get that much range of motion out of the legs.

Together with Saeki Ritsuka in the same school uniform.
Saeki is a tall character, so the height difference is quite noticeable.

Compared to other Sousai Shojo Teien characters, she's definitely on the shorter side.

This kit is the Emma Koishikawa Light Edition, released as part of the Sousai Shojo Teien series [St. Iris Girls' Academy High School - Summer Uniform]. Released alongside the Emma Koishikawa standard edition, this one has some options removed. Two body parts and one face included in the standard edition are left out here, but it still comes with a solid variety of configurations and accessories on par with previous releases.

The overall package feels right in line with previous kits — still boasting excellent molded colors, great style, easy assembly, and impressive three-dimensionality. The hip joint extension gimmick, combined with the swappable skirt, gives the legs a wider range of motion, and the dedicated stand along with decent joint strength keeps poses nice and stable.

On top of that, combining three back hair options, four front hair options, and three faces lets you pull off a wide variety of looks — and you can optionally throw in one of five hair clip designs too. Accessories include 11 different hand parts, a bag, tablet PC, pen, smartphone, and a gaming-mode smartphone.

So even as a Light Edition, it doesn't really feel like it's lacking in accessories. It holds its own against previous releases, and since all the key accessories are in there, it actually feels like pretty good value for money. (It's ¥1,200 cheaper than the standard edition.) That said, as you can see in the comparison shots, she is a relatively short character — worth keeping in mind, though honestly it just makes her even cuter. Either way, this lineup is at the top of its game when it comes to girl model kit quality, so if you like the look and aren't too fussed about the extra options, the Light Edition is definitely worth going for. :-)
