You asked and Hasbro answered! Hit the jump to see the answers from Hasbro and Hunter PR! The new ultra large Sentinel as seen at New York Comic Con looks great! How does designing something of this size differ from the 3 3/4″ figures? We’re0 sure a lot of the process is the same, but are there any tricky points when dealing with the larger size? The new Cyclops appears to be the 1990’s Jim Lee costume. If, say, you were to create a Rogue figure, you could use her current costume, but many people think her 1990’s leather jacket

You asked and Hasbro answered! Hit the jump to see the answers from Hasbro and Hunter PR! Comics are usually on a cycle of major crossover events, with those events planned out 12-18 months in advance. Is Hasbro interested in tying in toy releases more directly to those kinds of crossover events? The packaging for the Marvel Transformers says Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic built the battlesuits using “alien technology.” Were those aliens the Transformers? If so, was it an information exchange, or a gift, or did they cut up a bunch of Decepticon corpses and see what they could

You asked and Hasbro answered! Hit the jump to see the answers from Hasbro and Hunter PR! By the time these questions get returned to us, Iron Man 2 will have been out in theaters for several weeks. Is it easier to create product for a sequel since you already have a relationship with the studio/director/producers from the first movie, or is it harder to create product for a sequel since you have the drive to always do better and produce more exciting toys than the first time? Hasbro’s creative partnership with Marvel involves a lot of idea generation on

What are some of the challenges you find in trying to create decos of costumes where every artist seems to have his or her own take on drawing it?
