Hasbro Pulse is the current official Hasbro web store for the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada (excluding Quebec). Aimed specifically at adult fans, Pulse's product selection consists mostly of collector-focused toylines, including Transformers: Generations.

History

The Hasbro Pulse name was originally used for the company's collector-focused news website, which launched on June 25, 2015.[1] Visitors who signed up to receive updates from Pulse were sent a free welcome package featuring, among other items, an exclusive variant copy of IDW Publishing's The Transformers vol. 2 #41.[2]

On February 15, 2019, one day before the start of New York Toy Fair 2019, Hasbro Pulse was relaunched as Hasbro's new web store, replacing the Hasbro Toy Shop website that had closed down the previous month.[3]

Fan First Friday

Fan First Fridays are streaming events on Hasbro Pulse's Youtube channel in which Hasbro reveals new product for one of their various toy-lines- typically collector product from franchises like G.I. Joe, Transformers and Star Wars. Transformers products that have been revealed though this event include the Studio Series 86 subline and the Walmart-exclusive Retro Headmasters.
