A new news article has been posted!
Bandai has announced that a new HG Hanada City Gym Leader Kasumi figure will be released in Japan in January 2016. The Kasumi figure design is based off her Pocket Monsters Red and Green design by Ken Sugimori who also posted an artwork design on his Twitter account. The figure can be pre-order from now until the end of October 2015. A Takeshi figure was previously announced earlier in 2015. More images of this figure are available on the Imageboard thread.

Ugh I know its based off the official artwork but they could have at least made her smile. That figure is in no way appealing to purchasers.

This one does look pretty disappointing compared to Brock's. The painting and scultping on his figure looked so detailed compared to this. The posing of her hands also looks pretty weird to me. It's hard to tell with the blocky pixels but I always thought she was holding pokeballs in that sprite - her empty hands seem really awkward here.
