Hasbro and Mattel rumored to be in merger talks

[Leave a Whisper]

Frozen is so important as it's own independent brand, Disney has refused to join it with the greater Disney Princess line.  Though, the movie did end with them being a Queen and a Grand Duchess, so they wouldn't fit there anyway.

But  Mulan is considered a princess?

MLP-themed Hot Wheels would be cool... 

Would buy those in a heartbeat.

Who knows. Might see them "cross the streams" with Barbie and GI Joe.

I thought you said never to cross the streams Egan! :p

The mention that this has happened a bit over the past few decades is interesting. Maybe Hasbro is looking to swipe up another smaller toy company!

Yeah- I figured the antitrust issues would kill this deal, until or unless the laws change.

I was sad to read about kids preferring electronic to traditional toys these days...
