The busty prototypes of the life-size figure rendition of Futari H's Yura finally gave way to an actual reveal at the Aki Katsu.

It turns out that the prototype images are spot on. The figure was dressed, both in a bikini and a Santa outfit, but those were real clothes used to dress Yura. The figure itself is nude.
The life-size figure was created as part of the manga's 20th anniversary. The creation was supervised by Katsu himself, even going so far as suggesting the idea originally because there was space for her in his office. The creator also paid for the figure's production costs himself.
One of his primary concerns was whether Yura's complicated hairstyle could be recreated faithfully in 3D.
If anything, it seems like Katsu's love for Yura is genuine. He even put the wedding ring on her finger himself as the event started. He itted to having more outfits for Yura back at the office, including a bathing suits, kimono, and a wedding dress.
