The New Awesome model is currently only slated for the new box set. IWM has not released any details about metal figures of the Box Set mechs (though I expect they would start releasing about 6 months later, but that is a full out guess).
No-Dachi has a counter-argument. Nothing further? Ok.

The only pics we have are a pic of renders for the new box set models and a pic of the prototype model for the Awesome (eg not the same quality as the final one).

At first I was skeptical of an Awesome resculpt. Awesomes are one of my favorite mechs, and giving it a new look just seemed wrong. Then I realized two things: 1) those things have been in the field since 2665. In all those years, supply of spare parts has changed, and occasionally non-specific parts have had to be used; 2) the Corvette has been in production since 1953, and today that thing looks nothing like the original (aside from the general form all cars share). With that mind set, I'm now able to look at the new version and appreciate it, even if I still prefer my old 8Qs.
