Hasbro because GI Joe and Transformers are cool, and He-man is gay

Hasbro owns Beyblade, Transformers, and Nerf. Mattel owns Hot Wheels and recently acquired Megabloks. I think I'm going to go with Hasbro for nostalgia's sake.

Gotta go with Hasbro, G.I. Joe, Transformers, Nerf, Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black and TVC are all fantastic lines more often then not while Mattel only really has He-Man and the various He-Man offshoots. For "boys toys" you really can't beat the company that created the first Action Figure.

Hasbro. Think the last thing I bought from Mattel was this New 52 Batgirl 13 years ago on the right and it was only a few years later I replaced her with the DCC one on the left.

Hasbro has the three really solid action figure lines of Star Wars Black, Marvel Legends and G.I. Joe Classified (and Transformers) plus they own D&D not to mention the board games like Monopoly and art toys like Play-Doh.Mattel owns three juggernaut brands...Barbie, Hot Wheels and Fisher Price. Barbie had a huge movie a few years ago. They also have He-Man, which feels like it should be has big as TF or GI Joe but for some reason just has failed to make a big relaunch.I always get the impression that Hasbro is kind of a whore. Hasbro knows that if theirs an opportunity to make money they'll take it, even if it dosn't really make sense for the brand. Like think about the endless TransformersX[other franchise] toys they make.Mattel is a little different. They treat Barbie with an almost religious amount of seriousness. That's kind of what the Barbie movie was poking fun at. I can garuntee you nobody at Hasbro gives a shit about any of the mythology of GI Joe or Transformers beyond that. It's the same way with Hot Wheels, they're primary function is to look as dope as possible and run really fast on a track (compared to other toy cars that wan to be accurate and realistic)So yeah, Hasbro is a cheap whore and Mattel is a high class escort whore.

I only collect Star Wars and G I. Joe so the answer is pretty easy; Hasbro. Mattel makes great dinosaurs though, I'll give them that but their humans suck major ass. They really need someone from Hasbro's TVC team to come give them lessons.

Both suck and mishandle their best toylines in different ways. 15 years ago I would have said Hasbro without a doubt, now it's a choice between heebs and wannabe heebs. Ironically, I miss Goldner.

https://gameinformer.com/2026/01/20/former-nintendo-of-america-president-doug-bowser-joins-hasbro-board-weeks-after
>Doug Bowser (from Nintendo North America) has been appointed to the board of Hasbro.This guy will either save the company or be the final nail in the coffin. Let me explain: Nintendo got a new phase of pure greed around after the time he got appointed, but it might very well be that he is blameless for it. (Japan got greedy and retarded and they forced him into retirement because he couldn't make good on what they forced him to do). AFAIK, we don't know whether he had a hand in Nintendo's greed or was just a regional head.If he was active part of Nintendo's greed, Hasbro is fucked.If he's not, there might be something else; a lot of the institutional shareholders figured out a year ago that (((Cocks))) was screwing them over. It was so bad lawyers offered to sue the board, but that would hurt the shareholders more than they would gain out of it so they didn't. So Bowser's appointment along with the CEO of The Honest Company may be part of a pushback against Cocks. (Honest Company and its CEO Carla Vernon are ''lefty do-gooders who actually think they do good and want to do good and be happy and blabla''). Meaning; it's a business conflict between shareholder factions, which could have positive consequences.

https://www.golocalprov.com/business/hasbro-ceo-cocks-and-execs-sued-for-alleged-securities-violations>In total, the Company spent an aggregate amount of approximately $125 million to repurchase approximately 1.4 million shares of its own common stock at artificially inflated prices from April 2022 to July 2022.
>“In order to account for shortfalls in other elements of the Company’s businesses, new Magic sets would thus be “parachuted in” to provide additional revenue.
>“The BofA Report observed that ‘Magic sales nearly doubled over the course of the pandemic’ and that ‘Hasbro has kept the growth going with more frequent set releases, more product in each set and wider distribution"
>BofA report further stated that the ‘increased supply’ of Magic had ‘caused distributors, collectors and local game stores to lose money on Magic,’” according to the lawsuit.Let's assume they're found guilty. It's a *civil* federal lawsuit, not a criminal one. So punishment would most likely be ''give the money you unfairly gained and we'll give it to the shareholders''. But that's pennies, so I doubt that's their goal. The real goal is to convince the judge to ban them from having CEO or board member roles ever again, meaning this is a coup to get the board taken over. Appointing Bowser and Vernon right now isn't a coincidence.Why I believe this? I think the shareholders are getting the hint the brands are going to shit.
>The lawsuit says, “As a result of Magic consumers’ 'growing frustration' with the ballooning number of Magic sets, the BofA report concluded, ‘We expect they’ll order less product in future releases.'"
>"As a direct and proximate result of the Individual Defendants’ conduct, Hasbro has lost and expended, and will continue to lose and expend, many millions of dollars."
Translation: "You're chasing the customers away you dipshits"
They could allege this about any brand but the problem is of course proving that.

Mattel won on movie side, Masters of the Universe looks to be agreat film so they already have more better films than Hasbro with Barbie and Motu. Take movies in the works like Jon M Chu Hot Wheels and Megan director Monster High films and Mattel are doing better than Hasbro on Hollywood side.

Mattel never ruined D&D, Magic or took copious amounts of Mousecock. Thus, Mattel wins handily.
