HASBRO SPRINGS INTO APRIL WITH GREAT NEW GIFT IDEAS
PAWTUCKET, RI, April 5, 2004 – With some of the industry’s most popular brands, such as TRANSFORMERS, BEYBLADE and G.I. JOE, leading the way, Hasbro, Inc.’s (NYSE:HAS) boys toys group is ready to “spring� into action. Whether it’s the coolest action figures or high performance spinning tops, the leader in boys action toys has some great ideas for parents and grandparents searching for the perfect Easter gift or spring surprise for their young adventurers.
Below are just a few of the offerings available this spring:
Under $10
TRANSFORMERS ENERGON BASIC AND DELUXE FIGURE ASSORTMENTS -- A collection of figures based on TRANSFORMERS ENERGON, the next installment of the legendary storyline of the AUTOBOTS versus the DECEPTICONS. In this new story, MEGATRON has set his sights on stealing Earth’s Energon -- the one energy source that will bring the evil UNICRON back to power. But the leader of the AUTOBOTS, OPTIMUS PRIME, intends to stop this evil plot before UNICRON can reactivate. OPTIMUS PRIME utilizes the ‘SPARK OF COMBINATION’ to mobilize his AUTOBOT force to combine, or POWERLINX, to create larger, more powerful robots. (Approximate Retail Price: $6.99 for basic; $9.99 for deluxe)
BEYBLADE STARTER SETS -- BEYBLADE continues to be one of the hottest toy brands and each BEYBLADE starter set gives kids the basics they need to start their collection, including an unassembled BEYBLADE top with stickers, ripcord, and launcher. New this year are innovative BEYBLADE series that include METAL MASTERS SERIES with metallic colors; BBA CHAMPIONSHIP which are the best of the best; PHANTOM FORCE series with cool new translucent tints; and a HYPERBLADES series that are special edition tops. (ARP: $6.99; Recommended Age: 8+)
BEYBLADE MAGNACORE TOPS AND MAGNACORE TRAY -- BEYBLADE is all about new ways to battle, and the new MAGNACORE magnetic system of tops will open up another world of possibilities for battle strategies and action. Each MAGNACORE top features an inner magnet that can be played against the forces of other MAGNACORE tops. The action gets even more polarizing when the tops are battled using a MAGNACORE tray, a round lightweight disc of moveable magnets that inserts underneath most BEYSTADIUMS. Each MAGNACORE top comes with an unassembled top on a runner frame, ripcord and launcher plus bonus stickers. (ARP: Tops– $7.99; Tray–$8.99; Recommended Age: 8+)
