There's no indication whatsoever that Paramount wants to buy a toy company. So no...probably not.
Chances are Hasbro is just going to remain Hasbro for the time being. God forbid. |

This whole Disney buying Hasbro conversation is kind of like a "What I would do if I won the Lottery" conversation. Alot of dreamy what ifs to a situation that has a 1:258,890,850 odds of ever happening.

DreamWorks Animation Deal Talks Sabotaged by Anonymous Letter
Sources confirm that incensed Disney executives conveyed to Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner that they would deem the toy manufacturer a competitor should it acquire DWA, imperiling huge contracts involving Marvel, Star Wars and, per a very valuable agreement set to begin in 2017, princess merchandise from Frozen and other titles. Deals with Disney are estimated to generate nearly a third of Hasbro's business. A source with knowledge of events says Disney execs had "a nuclear-level reaction" to the talks with DWA. Both Disney and Hasbro declined comment. The company was rattled to learn of an anonymous, highly detailed, lengthy letter recently mailed to several press outlets — including THR — apparently with the goal of derailing the Hasbro deal. |

"Certainly the leak did damage, as Hasbro's stock slid nearly 5 percent (and DWA's stock spiked)...Even after the Hasbro talks leaked, shares rose only 14 percent and remained 37 percent below what is believed to be Katzenberg's target price of $35 per share, indicating investors weren't confident a deal would close at that price. The median price target of Wall Street analysts who cover the stock is just $22, or 59 percent below what Katzenberg seems willing to accept."

WOW! Disney nixes the deal. Guess someone at Disney, smelled competition and decided to remind Hasbro they own the rights to Hasbro's two best selling licenses (Star Wars and Marvel).
That is just plain big business at its worst. That merger would have been GREAT for Hasbro's original lines. (So much for new Joe media) |

And again, had this merger gone through, we probably wouldn't have seen any real impact of it for 18 months or so after the fact. If Hasbro has any GI Joe initiatives in the works, the merger would not have had any significant impact on that.
