Hasbro Investor Day 2011 is now over but there was a few new things announced at this event. Battleship will be the next Hasbro Property to receive the Kre-O treatment.
What is KRE-O?
KRE-O is a new construction brand from Hasbro. The KRE-O brand provides builders ages 6 and up with the unique opportunity to enjoy popular Hasbro brands, like TRANSFORMERS and BATTLESHIP, in a construction play pattern.
How does KRE-O compare to other construction brands currently on the market?
We are proud of the quality and innovation the KRE-O brand brings to the construction aisle. KRE-O products feature the level of quality consumers have come to expect, and enhance construction play as only Hasbro can with the addition of favorite characters, unique accessories, and action figure-inspired KREON mini figures. KRE-O bricks are compatible with other major brick-based construction sets currently on the market.
BATTLESHIP KRE-O on the way!
Battleship Kre-O Announced Hasbro Investor Day 2011
Closest thing to GI Joe KreO so far. Bet we're going to get an F-14, then later on see it rebranded as a Sky Striker should Hasbro ever decide to make GI Joe KreO.
not sure if I get this one, will the battleship brand be enough to sell a series of building block sets? There's no well known characters to get people to collect like transformers or GI Joe would have, just a board game to draw ideas from.
The ship designs would have to be really good to sell these sets to me, cause those minifigs aren't a classic designs like lego and they definitely aren't close to the quality of the halo megabloks figures.
Anything else announced? Did they say if we are getting any other toys for Battleship (i.e. action figures)?
Well, I can honestly say I didn't see this coming...
GI Joe Kre-O might have been kind of exciting. The Kre-O mini figures just seem so bland compared to the Lego mini figures that Hasbro needs some characters if they want that style of mini figure to catch on.
On the bright side it might be fun building the boats and then using my Lego mini figures with them.
Are there any other toys planned for the battle ship movie like IDK maybe a 3.75 inch figure and vehicle line they could make it compatable with G.I. Joe
