Hasbro Buys Peppa Pig, PJ Masks AND Trailer Park Boys

Hasbro is buying studio Entertainment One, who produces pre-school merchandising-friendly shows like Peppa and PJ. They also produce adult shows, but its not clear if those less merch-friendly shows will continue.

I sell a lot of Peppa and PJ Masks stuff at work, no trailer park boys merch.

4 billion dollars for Entertainment one seems like alot. That's about what Disney paid for Marvel 10 years ago.

Where's Hasbro getting this money from? According to the nitwits on YouTube,Hasbro is pretty much near being bankrupt from the sales of Star Wars toys. Guess they were wrong. Whoops.

I haven't seen anything new from Peppa Pig in awhile, and PJ Mask just keeps releasing the same three characters. I wish they would add in there new characters soon, my nephew wants them.

I really wish Hasbro would release G.I. Joes in stores. My brother & I bought all the TRU knock-off vehicles when they clearance them out but there figures are just trash figures. I would love to be able to stock up on G.I. Joes now while he is into the preschool toys. I do by those Jurassic Park figures since they fit in with Joes and keep them tucked away. He plays with the dinosaurs and loves them.

Apparently, they also got Death Row Records in the deal, so that’s exciting.
