Usually, the official Mirage webpage is a good place to look for pics. Dan Berger posts things as soon as they can.
You can look into the Toys for action figures.
Or you can peruse the Latest Updates area for news.

They have posted this so far:

That looks nothing like Usagi at all.... I'll stick to the older figure from Antartic Press... the one designed by Stan the Man himself!

It looks like a McDonalds toy.

I like it. It's an alternative visual interpretation of the character that, unlike the first TMNT Usagi figure, doesn't seem to deviate from the character himself completely.

How can you say this?! The figure is clearly wearing zouri, and in the comic, Usagi always wears waraji whenever he's got shoes on!

I am going to wait until the season opener and seeing more of Usagi before I get too nit picky about it. It's a cartoon, and at least Usagi is appearing!! And apparently Gen.
Usagi was spotted in the preview trailer/teaser that Fox Box ran last weekend. It was a very short set of clips, and we have to wait until fall for the new episodes to start up.
