PAWTUCKET, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) is returning to San Diego, California for 2019 Comic-Con International and is set to reveal an exciting new line-up of products drawn from its iconic brand portfolio. Fans and collectors can also expect limited-edition products from TRANSFORMERS, POWER RANGERS, MAGIC: THE GATHERING, MY LITTLE PONY as well as licensed partners STAR WARS™, MARVEL and DISNEY PRINCESS available for purchase at the newly rebranded Hasbro Pulse Booth #3329.

HasLab is Hasbro Pulse’s fan-driven platform that aspires to put dream products into the hands of fans. The first HasLab item was the biggest STAR WARS™ vehicle Hasbro and Kenner had ever produced - JABBA’S SAIL BARGE – which exceeded the 5,000-backer minimum and became available to fans in spring of 2019. After last year's crowdfunding success, HasLab is back with two exciting new creations – the TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON UNICRON figure and the SESAME STREET COOKIE MONSTER Replica in celebration of the brand’s 50th anniversary.
HASLAB TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON UNICRON
(HASBRO/Ages 16 years & up/Retail Price: $574.99 / Available: 2021 if fully backed)
UNICRON stands alone as the most menacing figure in TRANSFORMERS lore, capable of devouring entire worlds and civilizations. He debuted in the 1986 film TRANSFORMERS: The Movie and his insatiable appetite nearly brought the entire universe to its knees. The gigantic UNICRON would be our largest TRANSFORMERS figure ever created, taking the title from our previous record-holder, FORTRESS MAXIMUS. If this campaign is backed with a minimum 8,000 backers before August 31, 2019 at 11:59 PM EST, fans will be able to awaken the mighty UNICRON. To support this campaign for TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON UNICRON head to the HasLab tab on HasbroPulse.com. Fans can follow along at HasbroPulse.com and by following Hasbro Pulse on social media. UNICRON is available for $574.99 online at https://hasbropulse.com/collections/haslab/products/transformers-war-for-cybertron-unicron .
HASLAB SESAME STREET COOKIE MONSTER Replica
(HASBRO/Ages 8 years & up/Retail Price $299.99/ Available: 2020 if fully backed)
In celebration of SESAME STREET’S 50th anniversary, fans will have the chance to own this realistic Cookie Monster replica by backing the item via HasLab, Hasbro Pulse’s crowdfunding initiative designed to target fans directly by putting dream products into their hands. This cuddly, childhood icon measures 38-inches tall with detail mirroring the original puppet, delivered in premium, retro SESAME STREET packaging. Along with COOKIE MONSTER, participants will receive two collector lithographs and authenticity certificate. Once the campaign is backed with the minimum number of backers (3,000), HASBRO will bring COOKIE MONSTER to life in 2020. It is up to the fans to support the campaign and help successfully reach the minimum number of orders by August 25, 2019. COOKIE MONSTER is available for $299.99 online at https://hasbropulse.com/products/cookie-monster .
