Well, Monty did say that he's trying to keep a balance between making it good and not making us wait too long. He has also said before that "This could've been better, but it would've taken longer."

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if we had to wait until at least, maybe, April or May.

I'd imagine that Velvet is going to be in Volume 2 in the tournament with her team, and if that's the case, then the Velvet battle outfit design contest will be preventing them from animating her parts in the episodes until they pick the winner and then model, texture, rig, etc. the outfit onto her.
