The people are angry. WHy? IDk, and idc. Im just here for my little ponyAnd you turn to me and say, "stop poking me. YOu've been poking me for the last hour and calling me Charlie. My name isn't charlie. Its PHil."Well played CHarlie but you can't stop me from keeping all my little pony figurines submerged in cream in my basement.But what are people so mad about? All Hasbro is doing is unnecessarily monitiziing aspects of the table top experience in an effort to drain existing fans of D&D of their money. Whats wrong with a little greed? Thats right. Nothing. Even jesus was pro capitalism, look it up. GOogle it. I'm rite.Gotta get back to staring at my custard covered figurines. Big ups Obama

Customer service is a joke. They use FedEx to ship their packages. 50% of the time my expensive collectibles I buy show up damaged and completely beat up. A few times several years ago customer service has been great and sent replacements for my damaged products. The past year they can't be bothered to help at all. If they can't hold their shippers accountable to make their customers happy then they've lost my business. Since the last fiasco of damages goods with no support I've not purchased a single other product. I'll give my money to Mattel.

As the owner of Wizards of the Coast, the New OGL 1.1 is extremely restricting to the content creators that helped make D&D the game it is today.

You're actively ruining a beloved hobby, through corporate greed. There is no place for you in the world of TTRPG anymore. #byeWoTC

Through changes to the D&D OGL, Hasbro is participating in the end of a hobby and should not be financially supported.

Hasbro gets five stars out of me for a toy line and property they acquired through their acquisition of Tonka in 1991: MASK. MASK was created and sold by Kenner. The white-and-blue Kenner logo and/or name was on the MASK toys, boxes, etc. Kenner became a subsidiary and division of Tonka in 1987. The MASK toy line ran from 1985 to 1988. So, for the majority of its production run, Kenner (or Kenner Parker Toys) was the main owner and manufacturer of the MASK toys. Not Tonka, not Hasbro. I was such a big fan of MASK that, when I was a kid, I wrote a letter to Kenner asking if they'd make new MASK toys. I got a letter back in the mail from Hasbro explaining how they had ultimately acquired Kenner and that there were no plans for new MASK toys. I was about nine then and I think that was my first exposure to mergers and acquisitions. Ha. MASK is one of the more obscure and forgotten franchises of the 80s. It's not surprising because they had to compete against juggernauts like GI Joe and Transformers (also Hasbro properties). MASK was like a hybrid of GI Joe and Transformers. You had good guys (MASK: Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) and bad guys (VENOM: Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem) who wore masks - each mask had a unique special power - and drove/piloted vehicles that transformed into battle machines. Pretty awesome. Like many toy lines from the 80s, MASK had a cartoon TV series to help sell the product. To this day, I remain impressed with the level of detail in the toy design, both in look and in function, as well as the wide variety of vehicle types. Every vehicle - from sports car to motorcycle to tanker truck to ATV to F1 race car to dune buggy (I could go on) - looked like a miniature version of its real-life counterpart. The little action figures, which could fit perfectly into the vehicle seats, resembled the characters on TV, complete with distinct masks that fit over their heads. However, most impressive was the ability for each vehicle to transform as depicted on the show. Some true engineering work went into these toys. I'd love to learn more about the history behind MASK, its creation by the folks at Kenner (now Hasbro), and where and how exactly the toys were made. As a diehard MASK fan, I have to admit that the show hasn't held up well over time. It was definitely made for kids in the 80s. The toys are something I still treasure. As the saying goes, I'm not sure Hasbro would make them the same way today if they were to ever release a new line for MASK. While curious, I probably wouldn't be into it. Obviously, nostalgia plays a role in my biased opinion. In the 80s and 90s, other Hasbro toy lines that I was a fan of, to varying degrees, included Battle Beasts, the aforementioned GI Joe and Transformers, GoBots, and the official WWF action figures. The Hasbro WWF Superstars were hilarious.

4/9/21 Does anyone remember Transformer from September 17, 1984 to November 11, 1987? This would be the orginal not this Tranformers Beast Wars or any other version. Do you remember GI Joe?, The Real Anerican Heros? Or maybe a combination of GI Joe/Transformers? No?! Maybe you played Monopoly, Medical Monopoly or Monopoly with credit cards instead of paper? How about My Little Pony, Play-Doh, Power Rangers, Pokemon, Jem and The Holograms? Well they all were made by Hasbro and a whole lot more. You could shoot guns with water, guns with foam or guns with balls. Care for a Frisbee? Hasbro has you covered. All of these fun toys could be found at Toys R Us, Child's Play or any other toy store. So many kids like me enjoyed playing with they GI Joe action figures or they My Little Pony. Watching GI Joe or My Little Pony on television would be the next big thing. Especially on a Saturday Morning. Its it's truly truly outrageous to miss those shows. I remember playing with my favorite GI Joe action figures Battle Android Troopers, Storrm Shadow ( I went through a lot of those), Zartan, Zarana and Tomax and Xamot Paoli. These were the coolest action figures to collect and play with. I will say one of the first things to break on my action figures were the thumbs. I had to use clay to hold the weapons in the toys palms. Eventually the rubber band holding the action figures would snap and I glued the action figures together with rubber cement. More than once I gave one or two of my action figures a burial. One of these figures is still buried in my backyard of my old house. One of my old friends did something similar, but forgot where he buried his action figures. Back when Transformers cartoon came out, I knew just by the introduction theme song, The Gobots were going to hell. Triple Changer was one of the coolest Decepticons out there. I liked Optimus Prime, but the Decepticons had cooler robots. Soundwave had a number of additional robots inside him. Frenzy, Laserbeak, Ravage & Rumble were awesome. When I watched Transformers, I normally did not see Frenzy to offten, but he was my favorite. The most infamous/annoying/humorous is Starscream. His voice was just as annoying as it was to see what the character would do next. When Transformers The Movie came out, Starscream annoyed/betrayed Megatron for what seemed to be the last time. Yet, you can't keep an annoying pest down forever. The fans had something to say about this too. Hasbro is responsible for entering many fans. Hasbro entertained use fans again when the live action versions of Transformers and GI Joe became Hollywood movies. My Little Pony movie might be around the corner at some point. Hell, Jem was made into a Hollywood movie....talk about truly outrageous..., but it happened. I learned today that Play-Doh was aquired by Hasbro in 1991. Another amazing kids toy that I played with when I was a kid...and yes I tasted it too. It was very salty. Hasbro has made a lot of kids happy and will continue to make kids happy while letting kids imagination run while all over the world. Thank you Hasbro.

To really appreciate their products, one has to remain a kid at heart throughout their life. They bring out the best creators in us with their Play-Doh moldable clay, the most geared up friendly-fighters with their NERF collection and the funniest with their Mr. Potato Head.

Would give 0 stars if it were an option.I ordered 4 of an item and was sent 3. After informing the company they took 3 weeks to get back and tell me that no, they sent 4 and I'm SOL. What a terrible company. Do not buy from them.

As we spin into the Christmas season (yes, still Thanksgiving to go), let's review the largest toy company in the world. Founded in 1923 by the Hassenfel Brothers (Hello, HasBro), they started in toys with modeling clay and then their first success was Mister Potato Head. Traded on the Nasdaq as HAS, the company has the biggest stock market value and annual revenue of more than $5bllion. I think my first exposure to Hasbro was the famous Monopoly game and I've since learned enough about it that I consistently win. My daughter won't play it with me any more. After that, G.I. Joe, Transformer and then back into Board games with The Game of Life, party game Twister and Playskool toys. In 1985, the company changed its name to just Hasbro and then moved past Mattel in size. Acquisitions of Tonka Toys, Parker Brothers and more. The company has lately moved into brain games and some video gaming with a failed acquisition by the DreamWorks movie studio. I'd still love to play Monopoly if you're ready to lose. [Review 12324 overall, 2108 of 2019.]

Hasbro is the maker of Dungeons and Dragons, Monopoly, Battleship, Candland, and of course the controversial Ouija board. Never played a Ouija board but my mail lady recently said her 14 years old daughter's friend brought one over to her house and wanted to know if I knew any techniques to destroying it. I mentioned rubber gloves and maybe a catholic priest but she didn't appreciate my humor. I am most familiar with battleship and Dungeons and Dragons because those are the games I have played with the most. Most recently I've seen a spike in the number of kids getting into D & D thanks to the popular Netfix Stranger Things which I am all for...more socialization and away from video games is always a good sign. Another reason why I love D&D besides being a nerdy n*** is how it brings people together. I know people that been playing D&D for decades with the same group of friends whether in person or online. I know one guy that said that he made an effort to learn to play D&D because after his divorce his kids wouldn't talk to him but through the game they begin to have a relationship again. I think it's that kind of human interaction and connection that makes these games not only important but necessary. Glad they are still around and glad that they are thriving and growing even bigger! I will note that I saw that Kenny G has his own board game and glad to see that Hasbro wasn't involved in that because seriously I've seen it all now!
