Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War recently got a bump, moving into an April 27 release date for the much-anticipated film… the biggest comic book movie ever. With that, the toys started hitting retail a little earlier as well, and Hasbro has been leading the charge as the master licensee, bringing forth new ways to play as the Marvel #UniverseUnites. In celebration of the new toy launch, Hasbro sent over a special delivery to Rock Father HQ – a box packed with a sampling of new items from across their product lines – a little of everything that will excite families from kids to collectors. While I’ll be sharing formal reviews in the days and weeks ahead, here’s a quick edition of UNBOXED in which I crack open the case to find new Titan Hero Power FX figures, Nerf Assembler Gear, Marvel Legends 6′ action figures, characters from the basic figure assortment and the new Iron Man Hero Vision – an AR experience that was really being touted at the recent 115th North American International Toy Fair in New York City. Check this out…
As always, some of these toys will be set aside to be added to my annual #RockFatherSanta Holiday Toy Delivery Program, which serves families here in our local community. Last year’s event was the biggest ever, providing 72 children across 25 families with some much-needed holiday cheer. As part of the Avengers: Infinity War celebration, Hasbro also took part in Disney’s new charity initiative – Marvel: The Universe Unites, in which related companies shared #HeroActs alongside cast members from the film. Hasbro donated $1 million US worth of cash and products to Give Kids The World, an organization that fulfills the wishes of children with critical illnesses and their families by providing them with an unforgettable trip which includes a visit to their village in Central Florida and access to Walt Disney World Resort.
