The long, long release date is probably because Bad Robot wouldn't want to risk their own G98 fiasco by having a company work on a figure of the Cloverfield monster months before the movie. Hasbro's prototypes get leaked from China and Hong Kong on a regular basis, so if they wanted the monster's design to remain secret, waiting would be a smart plan.
I'm also thinking this isn't going to be the only way we'll get a Cloverfield toy either, but we'll see.
