The K3 is incredible, a big jump from K5.
You'll see soon.

Hmm...if you say so.
Whatever camera you *are* privy to, it would not surprise me that you are seeing the FF mock-up and not the actual K-3 APS-C.
Given the recent releases from Ricoh, they seem to LOVE going into the Pentax/Hoya parts bin and giving us something "new" based on something old.
I think the camera image we are seeing in this thread is *very* likely the new K3.
It makes sense as does the Q7/K50/500 that the K-3 would be a tweak of the K-5.
I would/will be very surprised if they are putting the K-5/II/APS-C successor in the same body as the mythical FF that is supposed to come next year.
Doing so would not make sense in that a different FF body will give Ricoh the ability to sell several different FF cameras, based on the same body.
No one puts their FF innards in the same body they share with their APS-C cameras.
No, I think the image we are seeing is, in fact the new K-3.
