Did you like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? Are you chomping at the bit to see G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra? Do you just wish that more cartoons and movies would come out of existing toylines? Well, today’s your lucky day, as Hasbro recently announced the opening of Hasbro Studios, which is dedicated to…
First Hasbro turned Transformers into a movie. (Obligatory Mark Ryan link and reference to The Pilgrim here.) Then Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (June 26, 2009) and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (August 7, 2009). And then they put Monopoly, Candyland, and Ouija into production with Universal. And now, announced just in time for…
Busy busy busy and expecting to be busier tomorrow today, but we had to get this piece of news up: G.I. Joe’s COBRA Commander has defected from Hasbro to Mattel! No word on what this does to the movie… More later, as time and Javitz’s wifi permits.
Ridley Scott is going to Boardwalk in style. He is in talks with Universal to direct a movie based on the Parker Brothers’ classic Monopoly according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In a surprise to pretty much no one, Hasbro announced today that it had reached an agreement with IDW Publishing to produce comics based on the toy company’s G.I. Joe license.

A few days ago we told you about the trailer. Now, Hasbro recently went live with a new site showcasing its upcoming line of action figures, and other toys, inspired by the next chapter of the Indiana Jones saga: Indiana Jones and the Kingdowm of the Crystal Skull. Pictures of the new line first started to…
Okay, so maybe Hasbro’s tag line, "Cloverfield Monster Revealed," is a bit after-the-fact, given that the movie has been out for nearly a month now and grossed more than $75 million, but I’m willing to cut them some slack since the toy based on the film’s monster looks pretty damn impressive. You can check out…
Marvel Studios has released yet another teaser shot (seen here) from the Iron Man film set to hit theaters May 2, but they’re not the only ones riding the Iron Man promotional bandwagon this week. Hasbro recently launched a new "Iron Man’s Hall of Armor" website that will debut a new figure from the upcoming…

Well, if you thought the thing was as cuddly as I did, you’ll be pleased to know that Hasbro toys, in partnership with Bad Robot and Paramount Pictures, has announced a new 14-inch, super-articulated, highly detailed limited edition of the Cloverfield Monster…

Twenty-three years ago today, Hasbro brought the Autobots and Decepticons to store shelves all across America. Initially reusing previously-released toys from the Japanese Takara toylines Diaclone and Microman, Hasbro issued the toys under the name Transformers.
