Previews...really...it is all over the internet...I have nothing but loathing and distrust of Previews/Diamond when it comes to these types of things. To say that they are unreliable is an understatement...
At any rate...according to Toy-World and TOYSDAILY we are still looking for a release in late March early April...in Asia...I can't wait...
Also, I haven't seen any recent pictures of Kaneda, but if he is half as cool as the prototype pictures he will be worth it...Medicom has had kind of a spotty record lately with their production figures of western licenses (Indiana Jones line...for example), but their figures of Japanese licenses have been amazing...The most recent Captain Harlock jumps to mind as well as Cobra...good stuff...
