Didn't see another topic about this (even did a seibertron google search); if it's old news, feel free to ignore. <a href=http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/product_debut.asp?dir=shockwave>My god, this thing looks great.</a> I don't feel so bad about missing out on the Hard Hero bust now! It's also up for preorder at BBTS. When my comic store buddy told me about it today, I had him make an order for me STAT. Can't wait until March!

I'm telling ya, this is the wrong site to discuss busts or statues. I've tried to bring them up before, but noone seems interested!

Actually, this bust does look really good, but I am not buying it yet. Almost all the busts and statues have ended up not selling and I have managed to nab them at some point for under 20.

Also, why the bust? I want a bigger version of the 6 inch polystone shockwave! Give this bust some legs! Look at the insecticon set. Legs are good.

You are not alone Bonger.
I love the recent 6 inch diamond select busts.
HardHero never did it for me, they were just too plain.

I am considering buying the entire lineup of these though. I already have Prime and Megs preordered at BBTS.

The Shockwave bust is sweet, I have been a fan of his since the dreamwave comics portrayed him as a serious contender for Cybertron's throne.

Yeah, the hard hero releases were a matter of taste. No wrong or right about it, totally subjective.

I liked them, but for the money, I want extreme detail.

No sales I'm guessin made that line a bust.

damn, I was really hoping they'd make more, like Rampage, Dinobot, Megatron, hell, anyone else.

I think BW will see more busts, but G1 characters are probably more reliable in terms of sales.

Hopefully Diamond will do a line, they made a great Primal bust already.
