Hasbro, Inc. comes to New York's 2005 Toy Fair with "something for everyone" -- for those who enjoy new ways to play, fun interaction with friends and family, and cutting-edge entertainment platforms once offered only by consumer electronics companies.

Hasbro highlights include the evolution of FURBY, which marks the return of the amazingly popular toy of the late 90s; ION Educational Gaming System, the Company's highly innovative entrance into the electronic learning arena; MX DIRT REBEL, an exciting motocross game you plug into your TV and a comprehensive line of toys and games based on the highly-anticipated Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, to name just a few.

"Today's consumers can be entertained in so many different ways," said Al Verrecchia, Hasbro's President and CEO. "As the marketplace evolves, it is Hasbro's job to stay ahead of the curve, and our 2005 product line is reflective of our strategy to provide consumers with the right toys, games and lifestyle products that are relevant and fun, and to have these products available everywhere kids and their families are shopping."

The FURBY creature displays a wide range of emotions and motions, advanced voice recognition, enhanced communication between kids and other FURBY toys, and an impressive "bilingual" vocabulary of "Furbish" and English. In fact, the FURBY creature has six times the memory of the original. Together, these innovations make the new FURBY toy an extremely lifelike, clever, fun, cute and "realistic" creature.

SCAMPS will really respond to your voice - he'll recognize more than 20 voice commands. You can even teach him to do cool tricks. Straight out of the box he will sit, lie down and respond to his name. After a bit more love, affection and training, he'll learn to give a "shake," howl and "speak" on command. And as he becomes your best friend, you'll be able to get him to beg, count, wave, and even add up numbers! SCAMPS also loves to be cuddled -- as you stroke his ears he'll lean in toward you and be happy and relaxed.
