Soon Forget: "Transformers Prime" Gears

Posted on January 7, 2025 by OAFE

This is the latest in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of blog posts memorializing cancelled toys. Our figure today is Hasbro's Transformers Prime Gears.

Posted on January 3, 2025 by OAFE

As mentioned in today's review, here's the 1994 message from Hasbro's CEO about GI Joe's 30th anniversary:

In 1964, America was introduced to the very first GI Joe. Thirty years later, GI Joe continues to fill children with an exciting sense of adventure and fun, which is all we at Hasbro ever wanted to do. Around the world we salute Joe on his 30th, and may this legend continue to bring endless hours of joy to the young, and the young at heart, for another 30 years. --(signed) Alan G. Hassenfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Hasbro Inc.
