This kit is the Ritsuka Saeki [Swim Style] Hair Arrange Ver. released as part of the Sōsai Shōjo Teien series. It's based on the existing Ritsuka Saeki [Swim Style] versionwith the molded colors changed and the hairstyle swapped out as the name suggests. The new hair is actually recycled from the hair runner included with the original Ritsuka Saekikit, so there's no new sculpting here — it's a color variant + parts-recombination kit.
As such, all the included parts and structural features are identical to the previous version, and you still get a variety of parts including a seated lower body and legs. Articulation is pretty standard for the Sōsai Shōjo Teien series, but you can have a lot of fun posing her with the various accessories and hand parts.
The swapped-out hair isn't a new sculpt — it's one of the head options that was included in the original Ritsuka Saeki kit. All three head options from the swimsuit version have been dropped, leaving just this one. Because of that, the hairstyle choice goes from three options down to one, and the kit price has been dropped by (a whopping) ¥100. On top of that, the swimsuit color has been changed, and the skin tone has been brightened up to give more of a pre-tan feel.
Since this is essentially just a simple variation kit with nothing truly new to offer, there isn't a whole lot to dig into. That said, the kit itself is genuinely pretty and well-made, so if the style appeals to you, it seems like a fun little girlpla to enjoy casually. :-)
