“2022 has already been such a major year for NERF as we unveiled the brand’s all-new mascot, Murph, and released a bunch of exciting NERF consumer products and blasters, and the excitement continues with MrBeast and Luka!” said Teresa Pearson, Vice President of Global Franchise Strategy & Brand Management at Hasbro. “Partnering with MrBeast and Luka to bring their iconic brands to Nerf has been incredibly rewarding and we can’t wait for fans to see these come to life. We’re honored to work with MrBeast and Luka because we admire the purpose they bring to the world as avid philanthropists and admirable role models for kids and families everywhere. We can’t wait to unveil what’s to come for these two icons who we know will help the NERF brand encourage responsible play.”
