Diamond Select Toys & Collectibles (DST) is negotiating an agreement with the Hasbro Properties Group to create resin statues and busts featuring the iconic characters from Hasbro's Classic G1 TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE: REAL AMERICAN HERO brands. The proposed new line will be unveiled in July at the San Diego Comic Con.

"We've created great G.I. JOE and TRANSFORMERS products in the past, and we're very excited to have the opportunity to offer a wider range of products for both of these great licenses," said Diamond Select Toys' Marketing and Sales Supervisor, Michael Leavey. "With the heat behind the TRANSFORMERS brand leading into next year as well as the success of G.I. JOE SIGMA SIX, fans and retailers can expect some great sculpts at more approachable price points."

Cobra Commander cousin to The Unknown comic of "The Gong Show" fame.

Sculpts, not figures.

Yeah, get it right 'cause it's much harder to play with a sculpt than it is to play with a figure. Takes more imagination :)

It's the new TF line coming out this fall, trying very hard to keep the look of the original series. Megatron's a gun again!

All I want are more of those "Cobra Commander's Day Off" shorts that were on VH1 not too long ago. Funniest damn things I've seen in a long time.
