Hasbro and ASICS Team Up for New GI Joe Shoes at Foot Locker

Friday morning, Hasbro and ASCIS announced a new partnership. I admit, I wasn’t surprised that a deal was made to create shoes and apparel featuring a Hasbro brand; that’s nothing new. It’s a way to get a Hasbro property out into the world past the toy room or aisle. I was extremely surprised when I heard that the property in question is GI Joe.

It’s

Toy Fair 2019: Hasbro Announces Transformers/Ghostbusters Ecto-1

“Dogs and cats, living together — Mass Hysteria!” That was pretty much the reaction this morning when the brand new HasbroPulse.com suddenly provided an item listing for an 80’s Kid’s Crossover Dream: An official Transformers Ecto-1 from GHOSTBUSTERS!

Holy cow. This is nuts. This is amazing. This is Ecto Cooler returning Big. To top it off, IDW announced a five part miniseries featuring Ectotron that will
