Retirement? Did someone say retirement… as I am in the midst of several 10 – 12 hour days in a row at work that word sounds awful nice right about now…
But enough about real life! Thrust yourself back into your imaginary G.I. Joe filled existence with What’s on Joe Mind Episode 64. We are joined this week by podcasting experts Slick McFavorite and Mrs. McFavorite from the Open Your Toys Podcast where we discuss the critical issues of the day like how to fill your entertainment center with San Diego ComicCon exclusives, whether a gimp suit equals a “vinyl toy”, and where to find the best french-speaking poutine. It’s a live one, folks.

The Associated Press is reporting that Hasbro has posted higher profits than expected, raising 8.8%, buoyed by strong boys toys sales. The article says specifically:
“Hasbro Inc, the nation’s second biggest toymaker, said Monday its profit rose 8.8 percent in the third quarter, helped by lower costs and slightly higher sales of Transformers and G.I. Joe toys.
Hasbro said its earnings rose to $150.4 million, or 99 cents per share, for the three months ended Sept. 27, up from $138.2 million, or 89 cents a share, a year ago.”
While I’m sure Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen played a larger role in the profits arena than Rise of Cobra did, it’s nice to see G.I. Joe getting some credit for raising some capital for parent company Hasbro as well. Read the full article here, as well as a report on WallStreetJournal.com.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. – June 2, 2009 – The Entertainment & Licensing Division of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS) today announced that the combined licensing programs supporting the movie releases of TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN and G.I.

Hasbro will arrive at the Licensing International Expo in Las Vegas on June 2, 2009, with more than 350 licensees on board to bring TRANSFORMERS and G.I.

“Two back-to-back releases of live-action films based on Hasbro’s powerhouse boys action brands has created the perfect global storm from a licensing perspective,” said Bryony Bouyer, Senior Vice President of Licensing, the Americas at Hasbro. “The combination of these time-tested, proven brands supported by major theatrical premieres presents a rare opportunity for licensees to confidently drive new and innovative products into the worldwide market.”
