Hasbro

Hasbro is an American toy and game company. It is one of the largest toy makers in the world, second only to the toy giant Mattel. Founded in 1923 as textile remnant company Hassenfeld Brothers, the firm moved into toy production in the late 1940s. Its first success as a toy company came in 1952, with the production of the Mr. Potato Head toy. In 1964, the company created the term "action figure" to market its new line of G.I. Joe toys. The company shortened its name to Hasbro in 1968. Other Hasbro hits include My Little Pony (1983), Transformers (1984), Furby (1998) and Pokemon (1999).

Hasbro has acquired a number of other toy companies, including the Milton Bradley Company and Playskool in 1984, Kenner and Parker Brothers in 1991, and Tiger Electronics in 1998.

 * The Great Muppet Caper Game (1981)
