Network staffer SilverOptimus has popped by with some news on US Patent and Trademark Office filings by Hasbro. He’s spotted updates on Inhumanoids, Micro Machines and Stretch Armstrong. I’ll let him take it from here:
Hasbro has applied for some several new trademarks throughout the past two weeks. Well, when I say “new”, they are technically not new at all.
First on the list is Stretch Armstrong:
You may remember back in 2011, this very site reported that Hasbro has applied for a new Stretch Armstrong toy trademark. It is only now that we find out exactly why (in case you are wondering it took Airachnid three years to go from a Trademark to a Cartoon Character). Yes, it is for a Cartoon or a Movie. In fact we have the name for it as well…
ARMSTRONG AND THE FLEX FIGHTERS
Link to USPTO.
Second is Micro Machines.
Sister Site Hisstank reported previously that Hasbro has applied for a new Toy Trademark titled Micro Machines. Today we found out that it is specifically for an Animated Series.
Finally Inhumanoids. But technically not in that name. Hasbro has applied for a new Toy Trademark titled Primordia.Back in 2011 we found out that Inhumanoids has been rebranded to Primordia.
So, here’s the new Trademark for the Primordia toyline.

So, here's the new Trademark for the Primordia toyline.
Thanks for the update.
Inhumanoids needs to happen.
I'm curious on Primordia. That could be interesting since it does relate back to the inhumanoids aspects of ancient creatures from the depths of the earth. It's the kind of property that'll need a toon to back it though. So maybe that's in the works too. Which might be why it's taking so long.
Micro machines will be great for the SHIELD hellicarriers. I hope all brands like GI Joe and Marvel get their vehicles made in them....
Or maybe we'll be lucky if that happens since it's being spun into a franchise itself. But here's hoping still!
Stretch Armstrong looks like potentially a toyline for a new toon. There'd been talk of a movie before, so maybe they want to build an audience for the brand before attempting a live movie.
id be pumped for new star wars or star trek micro machines.
This news really makes me think that Toyguru (ex-Matty) will be headed here to handle some/all of these Hasbro lines.
Would love to see something along the lines of what Eaglemoss did for Star Trek.
I would part with some decent coin for favourite Star Wars vehicles on that scale.
Aren't they also doing Visionaries as well?
