NEWS – Plastic-Free Packaging Letter From Hasbro

By | |
1 Comment

UPDATE (4/6/2023): This initiative has been cancelled due to fan response. Starting later in 2023, windowed packaging will use bio PET or recycled PET.

Below is a letter we received direct from Hasbro regarding their Plastic-Free Packaging initiatives. For Power Rangers fans, more details will be released “in the coming weeks”, most likely with the next wave of announcements during Pulse Con.

Hello –

Thank you for being a continued fan of Hasbro and its iconic brands. With more exciting reveals to come with this week’s San Diego Comic-Con, we wanted to reach out to share a little more information on Hasbro’s transition to plastic-free packaging.

At Hasbro, we have set a goal to eliminate virtually all plastic from new, single-use product packaging by the end of 2022. The company is currently on track to meet its industry-leading goal, reducing the use of virgin plastic by an estimated 19.5 million pounds annually.

What does this mean for products from fan-favorite Hasbro brands? You may have already noticed the transition to new plastic-free packaging within some kid-focused figures, and most 6-inch figures will transition to plastic-free packaging by early 2023. Today, we wanted to give you an early look at what to expect.

We’ve included a few examples here of what the new plastic-free packaging will look like across several brands. This includes an example of a Stormtrooper figure from the 2020 Star Wars: The Black Series line, as well as the G.I. JOE Classified Series Kamakura, Marvel Legends Series 6 Inch X-Men 90s Animated Series, and Marvel Legends Series Spider-Man Beyond Amazing: Iron Spider & Amazing Fantasy #15, all available now for order or pre-order. The Power Rangers Lightning Collection lines will reveal new plastic-free packaging in the coming weeks.

As part of the shift away from window boxes, you’ll see highly detailed artwork and exciting new imagery on each package featuring iconic characters and their figures inside. This includes new packaging art that will showcase the articulation and poseability of each figure.

Our goal does not include packaging for fan collectible products like 3.75” action figures, where packaging is part of the product experience and typically retained intact for fan display and collections. Those lines include Star Wars Vintage and Retro, as well as other collectible brands such as Marvel Retro and the G.I. JOE Retro. In support of Hasbro’s lower carbon strategy and upcoming science-based targets, our fan collectible blister packaging will continue to be made with either plant-based or recycled PET content.

Hasbro, with the support of its collaborators, is committed to doing what’s right for the future of the planet and looks forward to having its fans along for the journey.

Thank you again for the continued support!

HASBRO ANNOUNCES NEW PERSONALIZATION PLATFORM WITH ITS FIRST INTRODUCTION THROUGH “HASBRO SELFIE SERIES”

Launching Fall 2022 Exclusively on the Hasbro Pulse Mobile App, Hasbro Selfie Series Lets Fans Imagine Themselves as Their Favorite G.I. JOE, Ghostbusters, Power Rangers, Marvel, and Star Wars™ Heroes

PAWTUCKET, RI – July 13– Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS) announced its new personalization platform with its first product introduction through Hasbro Selfie Series. The custom offering allows fans to create a collector-grade 6-inch action figure in their likeness based on classic to current characters seen across popular films, television series and comics. Hasbro Selfie Series figures will debut with fan-favorite character costume designs from G.I. JOE, Ghostbusters, Power Rangers, and Marvel, as well as designs inspired by Star Wars™ heroes. This one-of-a-kind experience will be launching in Fall 2022 exclusively on the Hasbro Pulse mobile app (for fans aged 16 and older in the US only), for iOS and Android devices.

Fans attending San Diego Comic-Con (July 21-24) will have the opportunity to preview Hasbro Selfie Series figures, with a select number of fans being among the first to create and purchase their figures, shipping Fall 2022. SDCC (San Diego Comic Convention) attendees should visit the Hasbro Pulse Info Desk in Booth #3213 to obtain a ticket for an assigned time slot.  Limited tickets available, distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Hasbro Selfie Series figures are Hasbro’s first introduction to its innovative, new personalization platform. Using proprietary software and in partnership with a leading 3D printing company, Formlabs, Hasbro is giving fans a chance to digitally transform themselves into the action figure with the costume from the heroes they see on-screen and imagine themselves as part of the stories they love. From a Star Wars Rebel Alliance X-wing pilot, morphing into a Power Ranger, silently stalking Cobra as Snake Eyes, or swinging through the New York cityscape like Spider-Man, fans can indulge in the ultimate consumer experience with Hasbro Selfie Series figures.

“We are super excited to dive into the world of personalization and customization with Hasbro Selfie Series. We have done extensive research to truly understand the fan’s ask for a personalized product, and the team has done a fantastic job at making that dream a reality,” says Brian Chapman, Hasbro President of Design, Development and Innovation. “The innovation on this proprietary technology is truly remarkable, and we cannot wait to give fans the opportunity to add themselves to their collections.”

“Hasbro Selfie Series is giving us a new way to engage with the fans,” says Kwamina Crankson, General Manager & Senior Vice President, Hasbro Direct. “We are just scratching the surface when it comes to customization, and we’re excited to see where this new, innovative platform takes us.”

Creating a Hasbro Selfie Series figure will be through the Hasbro Pulse mobile app (For fans 16+ – US only).  For updates on the Hasbro Selfie Series project and its launch, opt into our newsletter here.  Follow @Hasbro Pulse on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube for additional announcements about Hasbro Selfie Series.

Unruly Industries Power Rangers Scoops – Designer Collectible Busts

When you need to chill out with your friends after saving the world, reach for a One-Scoops! This Mighty meltin’ Power Rangers — Designer Collectible Bust Sets by artist Erik Scoggan tastes like sweet, sweet victory.

Artist Bio: Erik Scoggan is a graphic artist from Southern California who was raised on superhero cartoons, junk food, and ‘The Far Side’ comics. Utilizing pop art and surrealist influences, the tone of his work gravitates towards the off-centered and humorous.

Artist Statement: “In a continuation of the One-Scoops series, I wanted to bring a surrealist element to the iconic Power Rangers characters in ice cream form. When I was growing up, I always thought they had the coolest helmet designs, and it’s fun to imagine what they would look like if they were melting out in the sun on a hot, Angel Grove, day. I’d like to think they’d sell these at that ‘Gym and Juice Bar’ those teenagers always seem to be hanging out in every episode.”

Each set retails for $250 USD. More details for the busts are available at Sideshow’s website:

It’s time to Ranger Up with @trekkieb47, @secretrangerfan & @ZachLaVoy as they talk all things Power Rangers on the Four Eyed Radio Network with RANGER COMMAND POWER HOUR!

On this episode, hosts Eric and Zach are joined by Josh (@KentuckyJAM) and Kenn (@TheKennGlenn) to discuss Hasbro’s Fan First Tuesday for Power Rangers.

We catch up on the news that wasn’t discussed on Tuesday including BOOM! Studios’ “Charge to 100” event, Lightning Collection Red Ecliptor and the Retro Megazord Wave 2 collection. Then, it’s our reaction to the very short Fan First Tuesday (13 minutes!).

How could Hasbro have better prepared for fan backlash? Were expectations too high going into the event? What was up with Power Ranger’s tweet before the event? What does Kenn have to apologize for?

We talk about all of the products featured on the stream including the Lord Drakkon helmet, Color Swap 2-pack, the final wave of Ninja Rangers, Party City Piñatas, the Power Sword, ZAP Dragonzord and more. We give our predictions of the future and how things could have been done better.

Finally, we read your thoughts about the event.

But for them, it was just a Tuesday…
