According to Randy they already have the tooling done, meaning the production samples have already been engineered and the bugs worked out. Right now it's just a matter of telling the factory how many to make. The tooling and sample approval is what usually takes so long when making figures.

The Sentinel figure likely isn't even tooled yet because Hasbro didn't even know if they were going to actually make it. Seems NECA is taking a gamble, though not much of a gamble, and did the tooling before securing any orders. Normally they get the funding from what ever retailer they are going to sell to and then make the product. What they are doing here is risking getting only a few orders and potentially losing money, though again I don't see that happening.
