Mattel and Hasbro to merge and form Devastator?
-
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return... -
Wow, that would be something. Wouldn't that violate anti-trust laws?
I see where Hasbro has the Disney Princess doll license now, which has to be a HUGE chunk out of Mattel's wallet.

The article said that would be unlikely.
The article also said Hasbro fought a take over from Mattel decades ago. They must be really feeling the pinch from Lego to consider a merger now. Hasbro's action figure strength mixed with Mattel's fashion doll strength would make them a much stronger competitor to Lego.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

^Sorry, I was lazy and didn't get to click the link. I normally don't post before doing so, but I was kind of shocked to see this.

No one is better than Mattel at making 12 inch articulated dolls at a mass market price. So, we could possibly see clothed 12 inch GI JOES and Star Wars figures return to toy stores if this actually happens .You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

The original Joe was better and cheap enough. I'd sure hate to see a classic Joe on a Ken body.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

When economies stall, and that's been the forecast for this year, companies consolidate. That's why Marvel/Lucas sold to Disney.
I've felt this was going to be a big merger year, so while I'm surprised this came about so quick, expect other crazy shakeups.Comment

My company does business with both of them, so I hope the merger doesn't happen. From a collector standpoint, Mattel rarely produces anything I like at all. Hasbro does sometimes.Comment
