Hasbro

, a global branded entertainment brand, have announced PlayMonster will bring the entire Playskool brand to the company’s roster in 2024. The plan is part of an overall global growth strategy delivering innovation and re-imagined classic play to preschoolers and their families. 

Following the launch of the Playskool Glo Friends line last fall, PlayMonster plans to relaunch Weebles next fall with a diverse new lineup of Weebles figures and playsets to inspire children’s imaginations.
