What specifically makes you think she'll be released next week? I think when DAZ says "in a few weeks," that should be taken as code for "expect it when you see it," if for no other reason than to save on gray hairs. Personally, I don't plan on buying GIRL. I am a toon figure fan, but she's just not toony or anime-ish enough for my taste. I'm more a fan of the Koshini Family and Anime Doll, and if I buy another toon girl, I'm more tempted by Staci.
