It's a very significant model upgrades, though. However, it still uses existing animations I believe. I'm like 99% certain this is the model that was created by a Riot employee for funsies - and was not created on work time or at work's request. They likely just went "that's actually pretty good" and hooked it up, and then upgraded his other skins to match. It's... sort of a-kin to using the Chinese artworks while waiting for new NA artwork to be created (although I'd wager Singed has now fallen drastically down the queue, as he was previously in the top 10).

(Fun fact: The basic model for visually upgraded classic Karthus, classic Heimerdinger and, now, classic Singed were all designed for funsies by Riot employees in their own time.)
