Maybe it'll cause MGA, Spin Master and Moose to step up their respective games? Good products always come out of a nice competitive atmosphere
I was just reading something on MSN this morning about this. There was a story about five brands that are hurting and Mattel was one of them. There was something in there that the Frozen brand was give to Hasbro and that is one thing that is really hurting Mattel.
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.
Sounds like the end of competition to me.... if they merge, it'll mean that prices could shoot up, and quality go down the toilet..... They'd be this horrible super-monster that just owned the entire toy industry.....
MLP-themed Hot Wheels would be cool...

Lego is pretty strong and if you think about it most of the current big crazes have come from other companies besides Mattel or Hasbro like LOL Surprise from MGA, Hatchimals from Spin Master, Fingerlings from Wowwee, and Shopkins from Moose.
