Hmm. Did you ever notice she's wearing the Opera 9 skin, features and color scheme? I think her wardrobe might need an update.

Tho would that update need changing for when 10.70 comes out?

I haven't been told which specific illustration will be the basis of the figure, so I don't know exactly what it will look like. In any case, I don't mind if it's an older version of Opera-tan. She might not represent the latest version of Opera, but she's certainly a part of Opera's history. Think of it like a snapshot in time. If the figure is popular, maybe HLJ will create more based on more updated versions of Opera-tan.
