GI Joe Enlisted in Fight For Happy Holidays

November 11th, 2009 Comments Off Posted in Hasbro

As you all know, it’s the time of year when Toys For Tots bins start appearing all over and we the shoppers have a better opportunity to share our hauls with others. This year, Hasbro, Toys For Tots and Dennis Quaid (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra’s General Hawk) have announced a great initiative, pledging to donate one new toy (with a minimum value of $3.99) for every G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra toy sold between Thursday, November 11, 2009 and November 26, 2009. They’ve capped the donation at 300,000 toys, but that’s a lot of smiling faces, and at $3.99 each, almost $1.2 million in potential gifts. So now you have extra incentive to pick up those Covergirl and Agent Helix figures you’ve always wanted, or a good reason to buy another Snake Eyes. Feel free to discuss over on the board.
