Toy Fair 2016: Spin Master's Angry Birds Ready for BATTLE!

Angry Birds...the world wide mobile game sensation SO MASSIVE you'd be hard pressed to find many people on the planet who haven't heard about it. They've melded with the iconic Star Wars universe, and your favorite robots in disguise, the Transformers, taking them one more step forward to being a household name. Now, with a movie on the way this May 20th, it's time for licensees to step forward and celebrate the most important bird vs pig war ever waged.

SDCC 2013: Hasbro's Exclusives

It's that time again! We are about a month away from the biggest geek event on the planet, so let's start digging through all the killer collectibles you'll find on the show floor at San Diego Comic Con 2013, or if you're lucky (and not attending), on sale online, for a limited time. We'll kick things off with Hasbro's initial lineup (Booth #3329). I say initial because there are usually a couple more bits than what we've got in front of us at the moment, so keep watching and we'll update when more drops. Here's the lot...so far...

The OFFICIAL Star Wars Angry Birds Reveal!

I feel like it should have a tag line like "This Time...It's Personal", but the line "Defeat The Pork Side!" on some of this packaging more than makes up for the two hours of editing I just did. This past weekend, we blew young minds with the announcement of Star Wars Angry Birds and teased your wallets with merchandise to come. Today, Hasbro gets in on the action with official pics of their lineup that confirm two things...

1. There WILL BE a Star Wars Angry Birds App
2. They will be merchandising the hell out of it

and as an aside...

3. They sure do love Jabba and the Rancor Monster, as they have featured them in two of the game sets....but no Leia in any, unless you count Leia Bousch. Everybody knows girls don't play Angry Birds. Pish Posh. Sarcasm, ended.

FIRST UP!!  Let's meet the cast of characters revealed so far!

Star Wars Angry Birds Revealed

Well that was quick! From teaser to product in what...8 hours? The reveal was set to be Monday in Times Square, but if you are Star Wars obsessed, you need it NOWWWW...so we sent our robots to storm Rovio Castle and pillage Hasbro Keep and come back with some preview images for you..because we love you. Hugs all around.

In my first article on the subject...I was a bit harsh. Now, I must admit, the designs are growing on me. Feast your trembling eyeballs on the following...





Star Wars Angry Birds Jenga Death Star - Said to feature an exclusive Chewbacca figure. (the pic to the left is not it.) I'm pretty much dying to see this thing in person. The art of the Piggy Dead Star is enough to make me want. Ohh...the wanting. Commence gimme hands.

Angry Birds Assimilate Star Wars

It's the mash up....practically no one asked for...or dreamed about!!!

But there will be toys...and jenga...and most likely a Star Wars edition of the game amid all the plush and T Shirts. .....maybe a game...but after the T Shirts.

The Angry Birds Tumblr says to be at the Times Square Toys R Us at 8am...or 10am..they aren't really clear on the point. I'm betting we'll be seeing some merch when we do drinks with Hasbro right before New York Comic Con 2012 next week. STAY TUNED...if not for this earth shattering announcement...then for stuff you really care about.

Toy Fair 2011 : Mattel Press Release

As the leading toy maker and an expert in creating memorable play experiences, Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:MAT) unveils innovative new products that expand beyond the toy box at this year's New York International Toy Fair. As the leading toy company, Mattel boasts six of the top 10 properties in the toy industry, according to NPD, bringing its expertise in play to new and unexpected spaces, reaching kids and adults where they are, and where they play, today -- like only Mattel can.

"As traditional play evolves and takes on new forms, so does our portfolio of brands," said Tim Kilpin, Executive Vice President Mattel Brands. "One way in which we are continuing to grow our core brands, as well as to develop new franchises, is through transmedia storytelling. We're developing branded content that further shapes play, ultimately driving brand engagement and deepening each play experience. Equally important is leveraging different media to tell each brand story in relevant and unexpected ways." "We know kids are the experts in play and we take pride in providing best-in-class products to further enhance their play experiences," said David Allmark, Executive Vice President, Fisher-Price Brands. "With a fresh new collection of innovative toys and a new multi-media campaign launching later this year that celebrates developmental growth through the joy of play, we will continue to connect with families across the globe." This past holiday season, Barbie reigned as the no. 1 property in the toy industry, maintaining relevance with girls of all ages as well as a strong presence at retail. Barbie continues positive momentum in 2011 as the brand celebrates 50 years of Ken as the "ultimate boyfriend for every occasion" with a series of epic events, partnerships and products.

Mattel is the expert in knowing how girls play and in 2010 developed a successful franchise for girls of all ages with the launch of the Monster High brand. Celebrated as the best-selling new fashion doll of the year in 2010, the Monster High franchise will become truly global in 2011 as it's rolled out worldwide across several categories including toy, publishing, web, apparel and accessories.

The company continues to successfully translate entertainment brands to toys and create long-term, sustainable properties with global product footprints. This year, Mattel adds some of the hottest, theatrical blockbuster licenses including -- Disney*Pixar's Cars 2, Green Lantern, Penguins of Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda 2 -- to its growing entertainment-licensed portfolio.

Growing core brands is an ongoing focus, and this year UNO celebrates a milestone 40th Anniversary with the introduction of a new character, Roboto.

Also, the Fisher-Price Play Lab, a best-in-class facility that was also the first of its kind in the industry, celebrates its 50th anniversary, enabling Mattel to further lead the industry in research and insight into the way kids play.

Mattel's 2011 product line boasts rich transmedia storytelling, can be played across multiple platforms, and delivers an element of humor and fun. Mattel also continues to translate entertainment brands to toys better than anyone in the industry.
