A huge focus for Hasbro this year will be the ‘Avengers Assemble’ theme with the continuing Iron Man line, and new Captain America and Thor movie lines. This is in addition to the core Marvel Universe line and the Spider-man line. Below are highlights of the Hasbro presentation. Which, this was my favorite part of the Hasbro event, really enjoyed the material the team put together.
- Thor merchandise shelf date of March 1st; Movie arriving May 6th
- A whole wardrobe of Thor role-play toys will be available, including his helmet, which talks and shoots a small projectile
- There’s a slew of Thor figures on the horizon, refer to the galleries for images

- Captain America toys hitting shelves in May with the movie releasing July 22nd
- Several role play shields being released, one shoots foam discs – like the old Millenium Falcon and Tie Fighter toys; another is a frisbee. Two of these were thrown into the crowd.
