HASBRO ANNOUNCES THE START OF N.E.S.T. GLOBAL ALLIANCE PROMOTION FOR ITS TRANSFORMERS TOY LINE FEATURING SPECIAL EDITION RAVAGE FIGURE

The Transformers Adventure Continues As Hasbro Invites Kids To Join The AUTOBOTS And The Elite N.E.S.T. Team

Pawtucket, RI – February 1, 2009 – Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS) announced today the start of a special promotion for its popular TRANSFORMERS toy line and is inviting kids and fans to “Join the N.E.S.T. GLOBAL ALLIANCE.” BUMBLEBEE and the AUTOBOTS, the heroic protectors of Earth, need help from their human allies as the planet continues to face the threat of the evil DECEPTICONS.

N.E.S.T., a secret partnership between the AUTOBOTS and humans dedicated to stopping the DECEPTICONS, was most recently featured in the blockbuster movie TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. Now, by collecting three different stickers included in specially marked TRANSFORMERS products available this spring, kids and fans can join the N.E.S.T GLOBAL ALLIANCE and mail away for a special edition RAVAGE figure not available anywhere else.

The promotion kicks off with the N.E.S.T. ALLIANCE PACK, a special edition 2-pack of new TRANSFORMERS action figures featuring the popular BUMBLEBEE and SOUNDWAVE characters. In addition to the two figures, the N.E.S.T. ALLIANCE PACK includes a N.E.S.T. GLOBAL ALLIANCE Mission Guide and Redemption Form, one starter sticker, and a N.E.S.T. Agent Patch, officially making them part of the alliance. The N.E.S.T. ALLIANCE PACK is the only product in which the Redemption Form is available and is necessary to participate in the promotion. The ALLIANCE PACK is recommended for ages 5 and up and is available for the approximate retail price of $19.99.

Additional stickers are available in specially marked TRANSFORMERS toys at retailers nationwide. Once the necessary three stickers have been collected and placed onto the N.E.S.T. GLOBAL ALLIANCE Redemption form, consumers mail them away to receive their special edition RAVAGE figure. The promotion requires a payment of $4.95 for shipping and handling charges to receive the special edition figure and the offer is good while supplies last. Requests must be postmarked by April 30 and received by May 14.

For more N.E.S.T. action fans can watch online webisodes of “Cyber Missions,” featuring new TRANSFORMERS adventures. “Cyber Missions” finds the AUTOBOTS working with humans in the N.E.S.T. global alliance to defend Earth against the revenge-seeking DECEPTICONS. There will be 12 webisodes total which began airing online at www.TRANSFORMERS.com in early January and new webisodes will continue to air throughout the year.

Hasbro Iron Man 2 Comic Series 3.75-Inch Figures

This is a review from Sandman21xxi – he’s become a fixture on the Fwoosh with his great pics across a variety of toy lines, and he’ll be joining us soon as a regular contributor on AFP!

Classic Iron Man, Stealth Operations Iron Man, First Appearance Iron Man and Crimson Dynamo!

Iron Man 2 (768x1024).jpg

Three months to go before Iron Man 2 hits the theaters (I believe the release date is May 7, 2010), and the toys have started to show up in some stores! I got this set at Toys R Us, which somewhat surprised me as it’s only January, but hey I’m not complaining! These figures are from the Comic Series. I saw some from the Movie and Concept series, but I was more interested in these guys because they would be a welcome addition to my Marvel Universe collection!

I’m doing more of a picture review with some of my observations added in. Let’s start with a lineup pic for size reference and some comparison pics with some Marvel Universe figures.

G.I. Joe Ultimate Duke Action Figure on Clearance at Walmart.com

While this isn’t the type of figure I’d normally go for, I think it’d make an excellent gift for a younger action figure fan. I saw this demonstrated at Toy Fair last year, and it’s got some pretty cool interactive features that I would have loved as a kid. On clearance now at Wal-Mart for $29 (regularly $49), the Ultimate Duke is a pretty good deal.

G.I. Joe Ultimate Duke Action Figure

Prepare yourself for an intense mission when you team up with this Accelerator Suit Duke figure. Featuring “Smart” technology, this soldier sidekick “recognizes” each weapon, like his missile-firing pulse rifle or spinning, light-up gatling gun. The figure also responds with coordinating actions and sounds. Make his legs move and squeeze the trigger for “running” action that keeps him one step ahead of Cobra enemies. Go stealth when you lower Accelerator Suit Duke figure’s visor for Night Operations mode. With lights, sounds and over 50 phrases, this is one action figure that’s ready for action.

  • Motorized action
  • Animated arms and head

Incredible Hulk Wave 3 Bi-Beast, Iron Clad, and Classic Hulk

Fwoosher Hagop sent pictures of three figures from Wave 3 of the 3.75-inch Incredible Hulk movie line.  These figures didn’t see wide distribution when first released near the end of 2008, and excess inventory has made its way to discount stores.

Bi-Beast, Iron Clad, and a classic version of the Hulk were not featured in the Incredible Hulk movie, but were based off of designs from the Incredible Hulk video game by Sega.

Hasbro 6-Inch Spider-Man Classics Available at ToysRUs.com

With Hasbro making the switch to 3.75-inches for its Marvel action figures, a lot of people have wondered if the 6-inch Spider-Man figures Hasbro showed at San Diego Comic-Con would make it to retail.  While I haven’t seen these in store, I did notice that the new Spidey figures, including the comic-styled 6-inch Green Goblin, are available online at ToysRUs.com.

Happy shopping!
