About Hasbro
Hasbro is one of the world's largest toy and entertainment companies, founded in 1923 in Providence, Rhode Island by three Polish-Jewish immigrant brothers: Herman, Hillel, and Henry Hassenfeld. Starting as Hassenfeld Brothers selling textile remnants, the company evolved through school supplies and pencil-making before becoming a toy giant that has shaped childhoods across generations with iconic brands and innovative products. The company achieved its first global breakthrough in 1952 with Mr. Potato Head, which made history as the first toy ever advertised on television. In 1964, Hasbro introduced G.I. Joe and coined the term 'action figure' to market military toys to boys. The company officially adopted the Hasbro name in 1968, reflecting its evolution from a family textile business to a multinational toy corporation. Today, Hasbro's portfolio includes some of the world's most recognizable toy and game brands: Monopoly, Play-Doh, Transformers, My Little Pony, Nerf, Furby, and many more. Through acquisitions and licensing partnerships, the company has expanded into entertainment with films, television series, and digital gaming. The Hassenfeld family legacy continues, with Alan Hassenfeld and The Hassenfeld Family Foundation celebrating the company's 100th anniversary with charitable donations. UK shoppers can find Hasbro toys and games at Argos, Smyths Toys, The Entertainer, Amazon, Tesco, Asda, and toy retailers nationwide.
