If they release anything less than the average, Crovus Belli risks the Wrath of Kan.

More likely the O-Yoroi pilot will be a bootleg release. However, CB did release the civilian minis (variants from the RPG minis) as regular releases. I doubt that they will re-classify the bootlegs. We'll see soon enough. The rumor is that all the renders shown at GenCon will be released this year.
The July releases totalled 18 miniatures. Does it matter if they were bundled as 3 releases? It is a large number of minis. They usually release 5-10 in a month. I'm surprised that they have five releases (total of 9 minis) for August. I was expecting a reducd amount because of all the other things going on-- Red Veil, GenCon, and Interplanetario .
Edit punctuation.
They said in the video that TAG pilots will have a bigger role in future, so I think the O-Yoroi pilot will be a proper release for the game, not a bootleg release.

I'd be very surprised if CV went 15mm for fantasy. They know there's a lot of ex-Confrontation players who would love an alternative, and the quality of their recent minis is exceptional; they appeal to painters and collectors, not just gamers. 15mm doesn't hold the same appeal because they don't work as showcase minis, so sales will be reduced considerably.

If we had profiles for Bolts before their release ("will be better in N3") the majority wouldn't mind seeing them pushed back, indefinitely.
I am not following this well but what about bolts is going to change or hasn't came out yet?

Don't stress BrotherGecko, I was using Bolts as an example, saying that people know there are a certain amount Bolt Profiles but the miniatures only represent a lesser amount and we don't know when they will be released.
I am not a Pan-O player so I will fall back to my Ghulams as the example.
"There has been a Ghulam Profile with a Light Grenade Launcher for years, where is that model? I want to use it! Gimme gimme gimme! Stop making models that I don't use until you have filled out the holes in my army!"
Compared to the forum talk of X-Wing which is more like "You know, there is that one scene where Scruffy Starmuncher gets captured and has to escape in a Phi class dock-shuttle. Maybe we will get a Phi class in the next release?" Since every model comes out with it's own rules there isn't the complaint that we know something exists but cannot access the official sculpt of it.
Glory is fleeting. Obscurity is forever.

Whew!!! You had me worried because I just convinced myself to paint my Bolts haha.

Just to screw PanO over, they'll probably give all TAG pilots specialist operative (but only so long as they're outside of the TAG).
