Don't have any pictures, but I just received an email from Ryan of Fan2Fan that these two were ready to ship for me. I'm not sure if he has them in stock, though. As he runs his store a little different than most. I think he takes his preorders, closes them, and that's it. But go to Fan2Fan and shoot him an email. Doesn't hurt to try!
I highly doubt that. A Japanese friend of mine is always the first who has them in hand and I haven't heard anything from him. I've just mailed him though when they will be released. I think Bruticus will be released by the end of june and the cassette about 2-3 months after that.
I have no reason to doubt Ryan. He's never lied to me. No bad experiences with him. Or maybe he just made a mistake. So, yeah.
Ryan is a great guy to be sure, as I've dealt with him many times, but the figures are not due for release until July 25th. See below.

HLJ says July... but they do sometimes take a couple of days for processing. They haven't charged my credit card yet. Anyway, hope they come out soon.
