This kit is Saotome Rui (Toh High School Competitive Swimsuit), released as part of the Sousai Shojo Teien series. Only the head, wrist joints, and stand from the previously released Sousaishojoteien Rui Saotome (Touiu High School Tracksuit) are reused — everything else is brand new tooling. Unlike the earlier standard swimsuit version, this one features her in a competitive swimsuit.

The basic setup is similar to previous releases, but the color separation on the one-piece swimsuit is really something else. The black and white stripe sections — the kind of thing you'd normally expect to be handled with stickers or paint — are all done through parts separation instead. The joint strength is solid and the articulation is smooth, so she holds whatever pose you put her in without any fuss. Accessories include a front hair piece with goggles, a towel to drape around her neck, and a bent-forward body part.

On top of that, you also get 3 compatibility neck parts and 3 types of feet. Thanks to the variety of accessories and the excellent quality of the main body, you can pull off all kinds of fun poses without any stress. With over 80% new tooling, this is a high-quality kit with plenty of originality to it. If the style appeals to you, I'd say it's definitely worth recommending as a great girl-pla kit. :-)
