Renegade Game Studios To Expand Licensing Partnership With Hasbro

Posted on October 8, 2022 at 12:15 pm by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Board Games

Renegade Game Studios is set to expand its partnership with Hasbro.

With this expansion, Renegade hopes to produce new versions of Risk themed around fan-favorite Hasbro brands G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Power Rangers.

The company plans to show off these new products within the coming months.

This isn’t the first time Hasbro outsourced its properties to other companies. Most recently, brands such as Tonka and Micro Machines went to Basic Fun and Jazwares respectively. With Hasbro focusing on fewer brands, it is likely that we’ll hear more outsourced IPs in near future.

You can check out the full press release, after the jump.

Hasbro To Showcase 2023 Plans On Investor Day 2022

Posted on September 30, 2022 at 4:10 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Cartoons, G.I. Joe Classified, G.I. Joe Comics, G.I. Joe Movie, G.I. Joe Video Games

Hasbro is all set to live broadcast their annual Investor Day on October 4th, 2022.

For those who do not know, Hasbro’s Investor Day is the equivalent of Disney’s D23 (well, sort of). Every year Hasbro will showcase its entire plan for the following year. Since very recently, Hasbro has ditched its usual formal approach to Investor Day in favor of a much more entertaining one; akin to the aforementioned D23.

Hasbro will discuss and showcase future plans for almost all of its properties. This year’s event is set to go on for a whopping  3 and a half hours starting from 9 AM EDT.

We expect to see and hear about Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Transformers: Earthspark, G.I. Joe Classified Series, G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes console game, the Agreement between Hasbro and Paramount, the new Comic Book License for Transformers and G.I. Joe properties, and many more.

For those who wish to watch the show online, you may register via Hasbro’s official website. If embedding is allowed, TFW2005 Network will host a link to the stream during the event.

You can check out this year’s agenda, after the jump.

Hasbro To Change Their Toy Distribution Strategy

Posted on August 24, 2022 at 12:44 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Classified, G.I. Joe Retro Line

Speaking to Kidscreen Magazine, Hasbro is highlighting that they will change their toy distribution strategy. This news comes just a couple of days after the news of their change to future entertainment plans.

While easily applicable to kid-oriented lines, it is unclear how this new strategy will affect collector-specific lines such as Transformer: Studio Series, Transformers: Legacy, G.I. Joe: Classified, etc.

‘Today, unpredictability reigns, with chaotic supply chains affecting timing, and streaming content rolling out in six-packs rather than full seasons. Meanwhile, disappearing theatrical windows have drastically changed movie launches and the Consumer Products programs that accompany them.

But in business, challenges often bring opportunities. That’s the lens through which Marianne James, Hasbro’s VP of EMEA and Asia, sees the current landscape.

“Tried and tested models still have their place, especially when you’ve got a Consumer Products program that leans on core pillars like toys and games,” says James. “What is interesting now is that we can test and learn. Instead of dropping products based on seasons, we’re now looking to where a rollout could be more relevant to a culture in one of our specific markets.”

One way Hasbro has shifted its strategy to accommodate the “highly unpredictable” nature of the market is to space out product releases in smaller waves instead of releasing the entire range in one large launch, she says. This provides the ability to establish contingencies if logistical issues occur in the company’s supply line.

“If the content is pushed back and we experience a delay at retail, or there are problems getting product on the water, it’s better to be flexible and have a softer, more phased-out launch instead of using a big, all-encompassing 360 strategy,” says James.

This is especially important for Hasbro’s “vault” brands such as Transformers, Peppa Pig, and My Little Pony, which exists in highly competitive toy categories, most notably preschool. To have a major rollout fall flat due to timing problems is not an option, so the company is expanding its arsenal of marketing and engagement tools, she says.’

Based on the above, Hasbro is planning to establish smaller waves and shift content accordingly. This new strategy can already be seen with the release of Transformers toys for the upcoming movie, Rise of the Beasts. With the production company Paramount Pictures delaying the release date, Hasbro is repackaging the toys while omitting ROTB branding. Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Smash Changer Optimus Prime is repackaged into Cyberverse (Transformers: Bumblebee – Cyberverse Adventures – Dinobots United – Smash Changer Optimus Prime), while Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Energon Igniters 2-Pack is repackaged into Buzzworthy Bumblebee (Transformers: Buzzworthy Bumblebee Energon Igniters 2-Pack).

Hasbro To Reevaluate Its Entertainment Plans

Posted on August 22, 2022 at 3:53 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Thanks to an article by Bloomberg, we now know that Hasbro is in the process of reevaluating its entertainment plans.

The article highlights multiple factors including the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic wreaking havoc on Hollywood box-office, and the passing of Hasbro’s former CEO, Brian Goldner, as the root causes of the reevaluation.

Mr. Goldner was also a part of the director board of Paramount Global (formerly known as Viacom CBS). His passing may have severed the tight connection between Paramount Pictures and Hasbro. At the moment, Paramount produces and distributes entertainment based on Hasbro properties such as Transformers, G.I. Joe, D&D, etc.

According to the article, Hasbro is looking at two options:

  1. [Hasbro] can take the existing staff [at eOne] and redirect it to make branded entertainment (think “Peppa Pig” movies), and shut down work on projects like “Yellowjackets” and “Designated Survivor.”
  2. [Hasbro] can sell everything it doesn’t want.

With the current 5-Year Agreement with Paramount Pictures coming to a closure at the end of 2022, Hasbro will also have to reevaluate the partnership on whether to extend or to let go.

CEO of eOne (a subsidiary of Hasbro), Mr. Darren Throop, will be stepping down at the end of this year as well.

According to Bloomberg, all will be announced at this year’s Investor Day.
