Hasbro is collaborating with it's great industry foe, Mattel. We had Transformers on Uno games and now we have them adorning Hotwheels products. As mentioned before, the assumption was that the Hotwheels products would not in any way be the characters but simply licensed art pasted on. And that's exactly what we are seeing with these new Skate toys. They come with a skateboard that has some Transformers art along with thematic shoes for your fingers.

There will be more Hotwheels product coming.

The images come from the Oeschle website.

Feels like Mattel is throwing pity licensing money to Hasbro after it's last financial report.

(Of course I jest, product concept-to-retail cycles take much longer)

Out of all the possibilities of this collab, this one never crossed my mind!

This was definitely not on my 2024 bingo card.

I guess people collect these too...

Hopefully they'll make something actually exciting. Mattel and Hasbro collaborating was supposed to be big news, but if neither brand will share their big brands then what's the point?

We made it big news due to their inagined rivalry, but it wasnt really anything more than a licensing deal like any other. Hasbro wants to be more of a license holder now, so this is their next step.

And we all know how great that worked out with D&D and Magic: The Gathering now, don't we?

Running stuff into the ground doesn't matter if you make money. Disney made 8 Billion off Star Wars since they acquired it for half that.

And Hasbro is making good money from D&D. That, Transformers and Furby are their best performing brands right now.

Bigger than ever? We can only hope that continues with Transformers.

So the only tihng that might tempt me on these would be if a transformer can actually wear their own shoes and ride their own board.

Unfortunately most of the figures have feet too big, so pass.

It is kinda funny that Starscream on the board looks more like Sunstorm despite Hasbro's insistence not to make him.

I find it so interesting that finger skates are coming back. I've been seeing so much Tech Deck product at Target its crazy..I also had no idea that Hot Wheels was starting to do them. It's quite nostalgic but man, do I feel old :lol:
