I wish there was an easy way of displaying the history of this topic in a timeline. Here's basically how I remember it though.

February/March 2005 Poser 6 was released Adult Figure Faceroom Support
July 2005 Japanese Release of Miki & Koji with Faceroom Support
August 2005 CP American Release of Miki with Faceroom Support
September 2005 CP Americanised Release of Koji - No Faceroom Support but a Promise Made!
January 2006 CP Announces Passport CD No mention of G2 figures yet
April 2006 CP Announces G2 Kelvin Teaser for release with Passport CD, Just Kelvin Not other boys!
June 2006 CP Announces MaleG2 release Before the end of July No hint about Preview Only
July 27th after almost the whole month of July goes by with no word we finally see teaser images just days before July is over. Saturday they toss the figures online, load up an entire CP Site rediesign and the entire staff runs off to catch their flights to SigGraph leaving the mess they made to stand or fall on it's own.
