In this day and age big budget blockbuster films are more and more reliant on children’s toy sales and merchandising in order to maximize profits and increase interest in the brand. Hasbro have now revealed new toys for next years TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER and also the upcoming television series STAR WARS: REBELS.
Ordinarily this sort of thing wouldn’t matter to anyone other than a Hollywood marketing executive or ten year old boy. However these ever important toy sales can not only give story hints for upcoming films but also guarantee the sequels for our favorite franchises. The flashy new toys Hasbro had on show at New York Comic Con gave us our first glimpses at some of next years biggest films and may also reveal some potential spoilers. This is especially true in the case of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 and how many villains Marvel’s favorite wall crawler will really be facing off against. You can see some of the toy images below:
You can head over to Collider for the rest of the images but in the mean time check back at the Hollywood News for updates on next years big releases such as CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION and THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2.
