Hascon will not only have panels celebrating the 40 year history of Star Wars play and unveiling new products from the Forces of Destiny and famed Black Series collections, but will also feature a Star Wars brand experience with photo ops in life-sized action figure backer cards, toy collections, and the world’s largest lightsaber build from Blade Builders.
Hasbro acquired Kenner and have since taken over releasing the bulk of official Star Wars toys and figures. Star Wars – Every OG Star Wars fan knows that the history of Star Wars merchandising begins with Kenner and the original lines of action figures and toys released in the ’70s and ’80s. Here are the ten things not to miss at the first annual Hascon… Featuring incredible guests from geek legends like Stan Lee to sports legends like David Ortiz, musical performances from Daya, Flo Rida and Stan Bush ( “The Touch”!), and panels and experiences from Star Wars, Transformers, and Marvel to Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering to Sesame Street, My Little Pony, and Play-Doh, Hascon may be the most family-centric and wide-reaching convention ever devised. Hascon will be unlike any convention to date.
In just two weeks, from September 8-10, in Providence, Rhode Island, Hasbro is set to host its first ever convention celebrating the properties and brands that make the RI-based toy company one of a kind.
