Thanks for your interest in our Transformer products.
We plan to continue the bust series as long as collectors want. Here are some of the upcoming busts planned for the near future: Ultra Magnus, Cyclonus, Galvatron, Hound, Blaster and many more. Also, we plan more full figures as well.
Thanks again,

The following information was obtained from a comic shop owner in the UK:

If you´re across the pond and enjoy Hard Hero´s Transformer busts and statues, you´ve probably noticed that unless you buy them at Forbidden Planet, you´re paying through the nose! That´s because Forbidden Planet was the only UK retailer able to buy directly from Hard Hero. But no more, Forbidden Planet no longer has the exclusive rights to distribute the Generation One statues and busts. Seems fans have already noticed the prices coming down on such items as the Giant Devastator bust. If you´ve been holding off on these, now´s your chance to get ´em at a more reasonable price!
