This is the latest in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of blog posts memorializing cancelled toys. Our figures today are Hasbro's Hero Mashers Monsters<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The Monsters would have been an expansion of Hasbro's Hero Masher<\/i> line, which also covers Marvel, Star Wars<\/i>, Transformers, Jurassic Park... basically, everything Hasbro owns except GI Joe<\/i>, because F them, apparently. At any rate, this year at Toy Fair, Hasbro showed off this planned expansion to the line.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Similar to the beloved and much-missed Xevoz<\/i>, the creatures all would have featured interchangeable pieces and even a few joke parts. Here are the figures from the first series<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The back of the package also gives us a glimpse of Rad-Valanche, a mountaineering yeti:<\/p>\n

Also on display at Toy Fair were deluxe figures called \"Frank N' Slimer\" and a vampire biker called \"Battitude,\" who rides the Crimson Fang Chopper.<\/p>\n

Technically, these toys aren't cancelled: it's just that no US retailers opted to buy them, so they'll only be sold in foreign markets. So, international OAFE fans: who's willing to hook us up?<\/p>\n
