Realistically, and avoiding the dreaded S word, I don't expect Dawn's public release for a few weeks yet.  A moderately complex package for a figure, including QA, takes about a month to six weeks from start to release, if things go smoothly.  They probably won't wait the entire time for a full barrage release, but they also don't want too much lag between initial release and a substancial wave of support.

 

As much as I dislike advising this, "Have some patience."  I dislike advising it because the attention span of this community is generally four days, optimum.  That means don't announce a release more than four days ahead of time, or the enthusiasm will begin to wane before the release arrives.  Many sellers in this community have not learned this.

 

Now in Dawn's case, the announcement was made to draw support from the content makers more than it was to draw public attention.  You can tell this as there are yet no ads out about the release.

 

So users, be patient, go do some renders, get off your pins and needles.  There is obviously still a lot of work to be done before Dawn finds your runtime.
