Welcome F
rom movie announcements to bold collaborations, and MY LITTLE PONY winning Best Children's Licensed Property at the recent Licensing Awards, 2017 has been a tremendous year of successful growth for Hasbro Consumer Products. Earlier this year we released TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT and we announced a BUMBLEBEE movie due out in theatres December 2018. And in June 2019, we will unveil an entirely new, exciting storyline for TRANSFORMERS. That’s three movies in three years, as well as our television programming, gaming and growing consumer product portfolio. It’s a fantastic time to be involved in TRANSFORMERS! We’re just as excited as all the fans for the release of MY LITTLE PONY: THE MOVIE coming out in cinemas in October 2017. With MY LITTLE PONY: THE MOVIE, we have new stories to leverage as our Mane 6 travel outside the land of Equestria for the very first time. These new stories have opened new opportunities for collaborations as we leverage our existing relationships and bring additional licensees on board. We’ve also got great plans for NERF, as we roll out the new NERF NATION vision. We want to position NERF as the number one active play experience and lifestyle brand for boys and girls globally. Blasters will always be core to the franchise, and at the same time we’re launching NERF NATION – bringing fans together through digital and organised events to share the fun of NERF. Have you seen the new look LITTLEST PET SHOP? We’ve given the franchise a refresh, introducing
gorgeous new collectibles, limited edition toy collections and play sets. We’re gearing up for the launch of the new animation in 2018, the first since 2012 and the first with our new animator Boulder Media, which Hasbro acquired in 2016. Finally, but in some ways one of the most exciting projects we’ve been working on at Hasbro, is HANAZUKI. It’s our first ever animation series developed exclusively for YouTube and digital and launched in January. Our consumer products range has hit shelves over summer and we’ve been taken aback by the reaction. This brand really is the one to watch for the future. We’ve got so much more to show you as well, so make sure you stop by stand D40 at BLE this year.

or more than 30 years, the TRANSFORMERS franchise has never been far from the public eye. Today multiple animated stories, a three-year roadmap of cinematic content as well as continuous product innovations are incorporated to ensure the franchise reaches fans of all ages. It’s this ability to appeal to multigenerations that makes TRANSFORMERS the global powerhouse it is, delivering more than $10 billion in franchise retail sales since 2007. Hasbro has driven this growth by investing in new segments with relevant omniRight: Signature Publishing’s Rescue Bots magazine has been a great success in the UK market.

Over summer, the Harvester restaurant chain in the UK joined up with Hasbro on MY LITTLE PONY and TRANSFORMERS, giving out 600,000 themed activity packs to young diners with every child’s meal ordered at the restaurants. A special website and app were developed to support the promotion with more than 25,000 webpage views in just four weeks and more than 15,000 app game plays in the same time. The Optimus Prime truck visited six restaurants during the period of the campaign, with table bookings increasing from 30 tables to 370 once they advertised the TRANSFORMERS Truck was visiting!
channel storytelling for preschoolers (TRANSFORMERS Rescue Bots), core kids aged 4 to 8 years (TRANSFORMERS Robots In Disguise), and tweens and older fans (TRANSFORMERS Prime Wars Trilogy). “With everything we do, we want to deliver on the promise of ‘More than Meets the Eye’ – offering something special that excites and captures the audience’s imagination,” says Tom Warner, Senior VP, TRANSFORMERS Franchise. “Whether it’s our content, products, in-store or online actions – everything strives to deliver on this promise.” Storytelling is key in engaging with new and current fans and driving growth, TRANSFORMERS: The Last Knight was released in June this year and production has already started on the 2018 film, which will be based on kids’ favourite, Bumblebee. The third film is slated for 2019. The movies, however, are just one part of the entertainment calendar. TRANSFORMERS Rescue Bots TV series is a favourite among preschoolers, constantly rating as a top boys’ show on POP.

opportunities and bring the franchise to life for fans of any age. “We work with best-in-class licensees in each category, with a focus on driving strategic relationships,” says Katherine Buckland, Senior Director EMEA Consumer Products. “Our efforts are on the TRANSFORMERS franchise as a whole, not the individual content segments. Looking ahead, our focus is on driving the immensely successful toy business, introducing new publishing segments, and continuing to develop TRANSFORMERS as something really cool to wear.” The action figures and toy lines are a winning category for the franchise, but Hasbro has a goal to deliver 50% of retail sales outside of action figures across Europe. One category seeing strong growth is apparel, where TRANSFORMERS will have its largest range to date. “We’ve seen a rise in the demand for apparel with new collections in H&M, Next, Gap and Zara. But it’s not just in our core boys’ 4 to 7 year segment seeing strong demand,” says Katherine. “For adults, our collaboration with leading fashion designer Moschino, saw TRANSFORMERS take to the runway at Milan Fashion week showcasing their men’s, women’s and
children’s line with a stand out feature in Vogue Italia.” Another successful collaboration has been the one with LC Waikiki, Turkey’s largest mass fashion retailer with 600 stores. The TRANSFORMERS Movie Launch Collection hit shelves prior to The Last Knight film, supported by TV advertising on five channels for four weeks. Movie-inspired collections are seeing great sell through in the UK in Next, Primark, Matalan, River Island and very.com. Aside from apparel, PEZ will launch a confectionary range in 2018, Moleskine a range of exclusive notebooks also in 2018, and Hauck children’s go-karts. “Publishing is another way to lead with story and is continuing to grow with the Robots In Disguise magazine now available in 15 territories across Europe,” says Katherine. “Signature Publishing has just launched a new preschool Rescue Bots magazine in the UK with more markets launching shortly.”
It’s a toy thing
Simba Dickie Toys continues to be one of Hasbro’s key licensing partners having launched an innovative line across die-cast, lights and sounds vehicles and radiocontrolled cars for the animated TRANSFORMERS Robots in Disguise segment. This year the product line is adding TRANSFORMERS: The Last Knight movie-supported product bringing the total sku count to more than 50 items and introducing an additional segment of collectible metal die-cast figures.
