History
Hasbro was founded in 1923 by brothers Henry and Helal Hassenfeld, Jewish immigrants from Poland. The company manufactured school supplies before entering the toy market. In 1952, Mr. Potato Head sold $100 million in its first year of production. Other successes have included G.I. Joe (for which the term "action figure" was coined, as a masculine-sounding euphemism for "doll"), Lincoln Logs, Lite-Brite, Nerf and My Little Pony. Through the decades, the company has acquired (and sometimes shed) other famous toy manufacturers as subsidiaries, including Parker Bros., Milton Bradley, Tonka and Playskool. -
