Where can we find these online?

I know people complain about their Zelda figures, but Jakks absolutely nails their Nintendo figures; everything else about their company is a disaster. Diamond is more professional and actually promotes their figures (fans don't have to report new findings on reddit).I too love WON, I really wish their distribution was a bit better though tbh. Luckily I just got the last of the newest wave.
As for the August date, I would not look to far into that. They could very well release earlier as toy sites like these usually have their release dates later then the actual release dates.
So with Toyfair this weekend, I've been trying to get any footage of the new figures on display, and I finally came across a video from Diamond:

KH stuff starts at 1:08, with a new statue of Pete. Where is he? Is he in Agrabah, holding the tiny lamp?
The Pete figure looks absolutely incredible; giving me Tasmanian Devil vibes or something... Donald and Goofy, not so much. How does Goofy not have elbow joints? How does Pete look so incredible compared to the rest of the characters? Are bigger figures that much easier to sculpt?
Probably because in all honesty he's the only figure they've done so far that doesn't look like a bootleg.Yea thats totally that scene from Agrabah...which begs the question: why the crap are they making Pete first for something like that? lol. Like I'm glad they aren't doing Sora or Riku, but why not Donald, Goofy, or Mickey? Their static sculpts look way better than anything else they do...so I would like to see them make more.
Probably the best news of that video is despite all the flak, the line is doing very well; probably the reason they milked out wave 1 with 1.5... apparently so well they're expanding to Walmart and Best Buy. Also an exclusive Timeless River figure in each wave.There is a small tidbit of information on that Pete PVC statue at the 8:31 mark in this video. They don't actually focus on him or show if there are any other figures beside him, but the guy at the booth says that it will be a new line of PVC gallery figures that will focus on Sonic the Hedgehog and Kingdom Hearts. They'll be released first at GameStop before releasing at other stores, and they'll cost around $45.

I collected some of their Muppet figures, and by the third wave they were limited to specialty shops, and the fourth wave has been indefinitely postponed.

To reiterate, Pete is probably the first flawless figure they've done thus far, and the statues are lit! It's very clear if they put the budget into something it looks like it came straight from Disney.
