So instead of just re-designing it they glue down what was meant to be cast off and keep the original design. well at least this solves the mystery! most likely it was originally designed as cast off but when it went into a approval they denied it.

It looks like the only way she can be displayed without her kimono is to separate one of the (super) glued joints that holds it together. I wouldn't recommend breaking a glued joint on any figure just for the sake of cast-off. Irreversible cast-off is not true cast-off, and I hate when folks advertise a "new" figure as such when it's not. All this proves is how the figure was assembled in the factory. But since cast-off is the latest rage, it does make one wonder why this figure was not designed for real cast-off in the first place -- especially for the higher prices nowadays.
