Transformers Toy News

Hasbro Inc. (HAS) appears all set to boost its Entertainment segment via Hasbro Studios for television and alliance with movie studios like Paramount, Universal Pictures, Sony and Relativity. Hasbro started the year on a positive note and will likely perform better in the coming quarters on a strong sales momentum from the 3D version of Star Wars, Battleship worldwide launch in April (with the U.S. launch in May), Avengers Assembled (May release) and Spiderman 4 (set to debut in July 2012). Other films in the queue are Ouija, CandyLand, Stretch Armstrong, Clue and Monopoly.

Added to this, Hasbro, in association with Paramount Pictures, was nearly ready for the big screen appearance of G.I. Joe Retaliation on June 29 this year. But the premiere has now been pushed to the next year.  To cash in on the global popularity of 3D versions, .I. Joe Retaliation will now appear in 3D suit on March 29, 2013. The strong pipeline ensures that Hasbro’s entertainment initiatives will contribute to its revenue as well as toy-sales.

However, the last moment delay of G.I. Joe Retaliation could be the result of the recent box-office underperformance of The Battleship movie in the U.S. We believe, management does not want to lose any single chance to make the recent G.I. Joe edition a huge success and seeks to go bigger with the brand. As a point of reference, the first G.I. Joe garnered sizable revenue in 2009. So far in the year, Star Wars and Avengers were flourishing in box-offices with Avengers being one of the well-accepted boys’ toys brands at the current level. Battleship delivered strong starts internationally, in particular markets like Asia and Europe.

Revenue from the Entertainment and Licensing segment increased 19% year over year to $29.3 million in first-quarter 2012 backed by the sales of television programming globally, as well as movie and  licensing revenue from Transformers. According to management, there are various strong motion picture and television entertainment backed properties doing well at retail.

For full year 2012, Hasbro reiterated its target to grow revenues and earnings per share excluding foreign exchange fluctuation. However, we are a bit doubtful about the magnitude of the growth as G.I. Joe is now out of the 2012 show. The apprehension is also reflected in the analysts’ estimate. Following the news, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the full-year 2012 was slashed by 3 out of 11 analysts in the last 7 days while none went for any increment. Coming to magnitude of revision, the estimate was cut by 2 cents to $2.88 per share for the fiscal year.

Hasbro, which competes with the likes of Mattel Inc. (MAT), currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold rating. We are maintaining our long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

Transformers Toy News

Several months ago we were informed (unofficially) that Part One Ltd, the company behind e-Hobby were going to start working with Fun Publication (The Transformers Collectors Club / Botcon) on some collaborative products for the US.  Well now the official announcement has been made over on the e-Hobby news website we can le you know what we heard.  At the time the talk was regarding possible exclusives for Botcon 2013.  Whether this was helping them with toy design, packaging, prints could not be said, but I suspect it may be officially licensing the e-Hobby exclusives to the group and collaborating with Japanese sales.

We'd expect more news on this announcement over the coming months so stay tuned to the e-Hobby blog for more information

Transformers Toy News

On Tuesday Fans Project updated their website with a statement regarding the group and announcing that they will be offering a subscription service.

"The Future of FPC

Tuesday, May 15, 2012 - 9:52 AM

When FansProjectCore (FPC) was announced there was much excitement, a few releases and then silence. Leaving many to question the purpose of the site.

Now is the moment where your patience pays off. Today we reveal the purpose and what the future holds for FansProjectCore.

First and foremost is fan news, this will always be a resource for Fans Project and other related fan news, releases and announcements. If there is information to be had this will be the place to find it.

Secondly, story. We here at Fans Project Core depend on our loyal fan base and we are happy to present you with an ambitious plan to change the model for how a story-based universe is realized. The Fans Project Core fiction will expand upon the story of the Factions and the Crystals as we promised.

What’s more exciting is that stories created for this universe along with the new interesting characters and concepts that may arise, form the basis for ACTUAL PHYSICAL FIGURES and Products produced in the real world.

Third is Membership. For those who have already signed up on the site and chosen an allegiance, you will soon discover what that choice means and how it will influence your impact on the Fans Project Core universe. The Crystals will also factor in but not immediately.

The big news however, is our forthcoming VIP PACKAGE which will be a paid subscription service offering member access to Priority on Exclusive FPC Products, FansProject Freebie Items, Contests and more. (Details to be announced at a later date).

Included in all levels of membership is access to items ONLY available on the Fans Project Core site. This is not a theoretical item that may happen in the future, the first item has been selected and produced, and is a FULL SIZE FIGURE. In addition to this, there will be a complimentary item available as a free gift with the registration of a VIP membership. Both of these items are limited and will not be offered outside of the Fans Project Core website.

Lastly, Influence. How often have you wanted to have a say on what toys get made, which characters designers focus on, what accessories are produced, and what the Exclusives might be? Here we welcome and invite that by using a polling system, voted on by the members, which will determine what items may be produced and where the designers should place their focus.

The most straight forward way to explain the Role of Fans Project Core in the Fans Project world is to say that we are “The Face” of the fans... a separate entity from Fans Project as a manufacturer but an interface between the manufacturing arm and the fan base. Any issues with items will still be handled by the retailers and not directly through this site, but we will provide feedback from the fans to Fans Project and present the designers with the wishes and opinions of the very people who enjoy their products.

Ultimately our aim is to make Fans Project Core a true fan based community."
