It's a separate figure.  It has to be to have the UV configuration to accommodate both V3 texture maps and V3 Mat poses.  The base mesh is still that of TY2, but the way it's UV's spread out on a flat surface to configure with Skin Texture jpg's is very different from standard TY2.  Also the MAT zones have been renamed to comply with the Mat Zone nomenclature of the V3 Mat Pose files.
Hope this explains something.
