Diamond Select Toys has reported on their site that they have expended their existing licence for Transformers and GI Joe product collectibles.

The following has been taken directly from their report

"Diamond Select Toys has reached an agreement with Hasbro to expand our existing Transformers and G.I. Joe product lines! The agreement, set to begin immediately, will include an expansion of DST’s license to include resin statues and busts featuring the iconic characters from both of these popular and extremely successful franchises.

“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.”

With the sculptors at Art Asylum and Plan B continuing to provide the highest caliber sculpts, DST is looking forward to a number of high-quality and very successful releases!"
