Hasbro’s Celebration Booth – First Look

We were able to get an early look at Hasbro's Celebration Orlando show floor booth.  While other than showing off their latest action figure and toy offerings, Hasbro has gone all out in showing their love for the history of the action figure line. The 40th Anniversary of Star Wars and Hasbro's long legacy of creating Star Wars toys is treated with great appreciation and love. While not only displaying large vintage card backs from Kenner, they pay respect to Mark Bordeaux, pay tribute to The Epic Continues, and have a timeline of every action figure line they have produced since gaining the license on June 7, 1977.
