Basis of Presentation	9 Months Ended
Basis of Presentation	Sep. 25, 2011
Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	(1) Basis of Presentation In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Hasbro, Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries (“Hasbro” or the “Company”) as of September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The quarterly and nine-month periods ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010 are 13-week and 39-week periods, respectively. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year, nor were those of the comparable 2010 period representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2010. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company filed audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 26, 2010 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes all such information and disclosures and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the financial information included herein. The Company's accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2010. Certain amounts in the Company’s 2010 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 2011 presentation. Substantially all of the Company's inventories consist of finished goods.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for organization, consolidation and basis of presentation of financial statements disclosure.

Earnings Per Share

(2) Earnings Per Share

Net earnings per share data for the quarters and nine months ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010 were computed as follows:

	2011		2010
	-----------------		-----------------
Quarter ----------	Basic -------	Diluted --------	Basic -------	Diluted --------
Net earnings	$ 170,990	170,990	155,164	155,164

Equivalent shares	135,388	138,373	139,773	147,157
	=======	=======	=======	=======

Net earnings per common share	$ 1.82	1.78	1.84	1.76
	=======	=======	=======	=======

For the nine month period ended September 26, 2010, the effect of the Company’s contingent convertible debt was dilutive and, accordingly, for the diluted earnings per share calculation, the numerator includes an adjustment to earnings to exclude the interest expense incurred for these debentures and the denominator includes an adjustment to include the shares issuable upon conversion. During the second quarter of 2010, substantially all of these debentures were converted into shares of common stock, with the remainder redeemed for cash and as such, were not dilutive for the quarter ended September 26, 2010.

For the quarters ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010, 1,851 and 931 restricted stock-based awards and options to acquire shares, for each period, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to include them would have been antidilutive. For the nine month periods ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010, 1,394 and 1,322 restricted stock-based awards and options to acquire shares, for each period, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to include them would have been antidilutive.

(3) Other Comprehensive Earnings (Loss)

Other comprehensive earnings (losses) for the quarters and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010 consist of the following:

	Quarter Ended		Nine Months Ended
	------------------		------------------
	Sept. 25,	Sept. 26,	Sept. 25,	Sept. 26,
	2011	2010	2011	2010

Foreign currency translation adjustments	$(42,789)	36,331	(9,767)	(20,033)
Gain (loss) on cash flow hedging activities, net of tax	20,755	(34,933)	(16,585)	(4,502)
Reclassifications to earnings, net of tax:
Net losses (gains) on cash flow hedging activities	2,900	(6,080)	3,238	(10,975)
	----------	----------	----------	----------
Other comprehensive loss	$(19,134)	(4,682)	(23,114)	(35,510)
	======	======	======	======

At September 25, 2011, the Company had remaining deferred gains on hedging instruments, net of tax, of $2,085 in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (“AOCE”). These instruments hedge certain forecasted inventory purchases and other cross-border transactions through 2013. These amounts will be reclassified into the consolidated statement of operations upon the sale of the related inventory or receipt or payment of other cross-border transactions. Of the amount included in AOCE at September 25, 2011, the Company expects gains, net of tax, of approximately $4,700 to be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months. However, the amount ultimately realized in earnings is dependent on the fair value of the contracts on the settlement dates.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for comprehensive income. Includes, but is not limited to, the following: 1) the amount of income tax expense or benefit allocated to each component of other comprehensive income, including reclassification adjustments, 2) the reclassification adjustments for each classification of other comprehensive income and 3) the ending accumulated balances for each component of comprehensive income. Components of comprehensive income include: (1) foreign currency translation adjustments; (2) gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions that are designated as, and are effective as, economic hedges of a net investment in a foreign entity; (3) gains (losses) on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term-investment nature, when the entities to the transaction are consolidated, combined, or accounted for by the equity method in the reporting enterprise's financial statements; (4) change in the market value of a futures contract that qualifies as a hedge of an asset reported at fair value; (5) unrealized holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities and that resulting from transfers of debt securities from the held-to-maturity category to the available-for-sale category; (6) a net loss recognized as an additional pension liability not yet recognized as net periodic pension cost; and (7) the net gain (loss) and net prior service cost or credit for pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans.

Financial Instruments (Thousands of Dollars) [Abstract]

Financial Instruments

(4) Financial Instruments

Hasbro’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities. At September 25, 2011, the carrying cost of these instruments approximated their fair value. The Company’s financial instruments at September 25, 2011 also include certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value (see Notes 6 and 8) as well as long-term borrowings. The carrying costs and fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings as of September 25, 2011, September 26, 2010 and December 26, 2010 are as follows:

	Sept. 25, 2011		Sept. 26, 2010		Dec. 26, 2010
	--------------------		--------------------		----------------------------
	Carrying Cost	Fair Value	Carrying Cost	Fair Value	Carrying Cost	Fair Value
	-------	------	-------	------	-------	------
6.125% Notes Due 2014	$ 445,176	467,245	444,661	466,225	437,786	462,698
6.30% Notes Due 2017	350,000	402,780	350,000	388,290	350,000	382,830
6.60% Debentures Due 2028	109,895	120,775	109,895	114,148	109,895	110,038
6.35% Notes Due 2040	500,000	547,200	500,000	511,000	500,000	499,900
	-------------	-----------	-------------	-----------	------------	-----------
Total long-term debt	$1,405,071	1,538,000	1,404,556	1,479,663	1,397,681	1,455,466
	=======	=======	=======	=======	=======	=======

The carrying cost of the 6.125% Notes Due 2014 includes principal amounts of $425,000 as well as fair value adjustments of $20,176, $19,661 and $12,786 at September 25, 2011, September 26, 2010 and December 26, 2010, respectively, related to interest rate swaps. All other carrying costs represent principal amounts. Total principal amounts of long-term debt at September 25, 2011, September 26, 2010 and December 26, 2010 were each $1,384,895. The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are measured using a combination of broker quotations when available and discounted future cash flows.

The Company is party to a series of interest rate swap agreements which effectively adjust the interest rates on a portion of the Company’s long-term debt from fixed to variable. The interest rate swaps are matched with a portion of the 6.125% Notes Due 2014 and accounted for as fair value hedges of those notes. The interest rate swaps have a total notional amount of $400,000 with maturities in 2014 which match the maturity date of the related notes. In each of the contracts, the Company receives payments based upon a fixed interest rate of 6.125%, which matches the interest rate of the notes being hedged, and makes payments based upon a floating rate based on Libor. These contracts are designated and effective as hedges of the change in the fair value of the associated debt. At September 25, 2011, September 26, 2010 and December 26, 2010, the fair value of these contracts was $20,176, $19,661 and $12,786, respectively, which is recorded in other assets with a corresponding fair value adjustment to increase long-term debt. The Company recorded gains of $2,040 and $7,390 for the quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2011, respectively, and $7,576 and $22,386 for the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2010, respectively on these instruments in other (income) expense, net relating to the change in fair value of such derivatives, wholly offsetting losses from the change in fair value of the associated long-term debt, also included in other (income) expense.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Sep. 25, 2011
Income Taxes (Thousands of Dollars) [Abstract]
Income Taxes	(5) Income Taxes The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and various state and international jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is regularly audited by U.S. federal, state and local and international tax authorities in various tax jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2008. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. state or local and non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major jurisdictions for years before 2006. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service recently completed an examination related to 2006 and 2007. During the second quarter of 2011, as a result of the completion of this examination, the Company recognized $22,101 of previously accrued unrecognized tax benefits including the reversal of related accrued interest, primarily related to the deductibility of certain expenses, as well as the tax treatment of certain subsidiary and other transactions. Of this amount, $1,482 was recorded as a reduction of deferred tax assets and the remainder as a reduction of income tax expense. The total income tax benefit resulting from the completion of the examination, including other adjustments, totaled $20,477 during the second quarter of 2011. The Company is currently under income tax examination in several U.S. state and local and non-U.S. jurisdictions. In connection with tax examinations in Mexico for the years 2000 to 2005, the Company has received tax assessments totaling approximately $171,900 (at September 25, 2011 exchange rates), which include interest, penalties and inflation updates, related to transfer pricing which the Company is vigorously defending. In order to continue the process of defending its position, the Company was required to guarantee the amount of the assessments for the years 2000 to 2004, as is usual and customary in Mexico with respect to these matters. Accordingly, as of September 25, 2011, bonds totaling approximately $150,260 (at September 25, 2011 exchange rates) have been provided to the Mexican government related to the 2000 to 2004 assessments, allowing the Company to defend its positions. The Company is not currently required to guarantee the amount of the 2005 assessment. The Company expects to be successful in sustaining its position with respect to these assessments as well as similar positions that may be taken by the Mexican tax authorities for periods subsequent to 2005.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Thousands of Dollars) [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels: Level 1 fair values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access; Level 2 fair values are those based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and Level 3 fair values are based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Accounting standards permit entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and establish presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The Company has elected the fair value option for certain available-for-sale investments. At September 25, 2011, September 26, 2010 and December 26, 2010, these investments totaled $20,095, $21,354 and $21,767 respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded net (losses) gains of $(24) and $499 on these investments in other (income) expense, net for the quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2011, respectively, related to the change in fair value of such investments. For the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2010, the Company recorded net gains of $416 and $799, respectively, on these investments in other (income) expense, net, related to the change in fair value of such investments.

At September 25, 2011, September 26, 2010 and December 26, 2010, the Company had the following assets and liabilities measured at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets:

For certain of the Company’s available-for-sale securities, the Company is able to obtain quoted prices from stock exchanges to measure the fair value of these securities (level 1). Certain other available-for-sale securities held by the Company are valued at the net asset value which is quoted on a private market that is not active; however, the unit price is predominantly based on underlying investments which are traded on an active market. The Company’s derivatives consist primarily of interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency forward contracts. The Company uses current forward rates of the respective foreign currencies to measure the fair value of these contracts. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are measured based on the present value of future cash flows using the swap curve as of the valuation date. The remaining derivative securities consist of warrants to purchase common stock of unrelated companies. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value these warrants. One of the inputs used in the Black-Scholes model, historical volatility, is considered an unobservable input in that it reflects the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company believes that this is the best information available for use in the fair value measurement. There were no changes in these valuation techniques during 2011.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the fair value measurements of the Company’s warrants to purchase common stock that use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine months ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010:

	2011	2010
	-----------	-----------
Balance at beginning of year	$ 9,155	6,808
Loss from change in fair value	(6,275)	(827)
	--------	--------
Balance at end of period	$ 2,880	5,981

Pension, Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits (Thousands of Dollars) [Abstract]

Pension, Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits

(7) Pension, Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits

Substantially all United States employees are covered under at least one of several non-contributory defined benefit pension plans maintained by the Company. Benefits under the two major plans which principally cover non-union employees are based primarily on salary and years of service. One of these major plans is funded. Benefits under the remaining plans are based primarily on fixed amounts for specified years of service. Of these remaining plans, the plan covering union employees is also funded. Effective at the end of December 2007, the Company froze pension benefits being accrued for its non-union employees in the United States. Pension coverage for employees of Hasbro's international subsidiaries is provided, to the extent deemed appropriate, through separate defined benefit and defined contribution plans.

The components of the net periodic cost of the Company's defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans for the quarters and nine months ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010 are as follows:

Derivative Financial Instruments

Sep. 25, 2011

Derivative Financial Instruments (Thousands of Dollars) [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

(8) Derivative Financial Instruments

Hasbro uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the impact of currency rate fluctuations on firmly committed and projected future foreign currency transactions. These over-the-counter contracts, which hedge future currency requirements related to purchases of inventory and other cross-border transactions not denominated in the functional currency of the business unit, are primarily denominated in United States and Hong Kong dollars and Euros and are entered into with a number of counterparties, all of which are major financial institutions. The Company believes that a default by a single counterparty would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. Hasbro does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

The Company also has warrants to purchase common stock of unrelated companies that constitute and are accounted for as derivatives. For additional information related to these warrants see Note 6. In addition the Company is party to several interest rate swap agreements to effectively adjust the interest rates on a portion of the Company’s long-term debt from fixed to variable. For additional information related to these interest rate swaps see Note 4.

Cash Flow Hedges

----------------------------------

Hasbro uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of currency rate fluctuations on firmly committed and projected future foreign currency transactions. All of the Company’s designated foreign currency forward contracts are considered to be cash flow hedges. These instruments hedge a portion of the Company’s currency requirements associated with anticipated inventory purchases and other cross-border transactions in 2011 through 2013.

At September 25, 2011, September 26, 2010 and December 26, 2010, the notional amounts and fair values representing the unrealized gains (losses) of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments were as follows:

	Sept. 25, 2011		Sept. 26, 2010		Dec. 26, 2010
	---------------		---------------		---------------
Hedged transaction	Notional Amount	Fair Value	Notional Amount	Fair Value	Notional Amount	Fair Value
----------------------------	--------------	----------	-------------	-----------	------------	----------
Inventory purchases	$ 500,863	965	705,906	(4)	593,953	11,074
Intercompany royalty transactions	164,456	1,616	233,358	2,867	179,308	5,344

Total	$ 725,586	2,828	964,117	3,304	790,308	16,951
	=======	======	=======	======	=======	======

The Company has a master agreement with each of its counterparties that allows for the netting of outstanding forward contracts. The fair values of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at September 25, 2011, September 26, 2010 and December 26, 2010 as follows:

During the quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2011, the Company reclassified net losses from other comprehensive earnings to earnings of $(3,377) and $(3,489), respectively. Of the amount reclassified during the quarter ended September 25, 2011, $(4,424) was reclassified to cost of sales, $535 was reclassified to royalty expense, and $562 was reclassified to sales. Of the amount reclassified during the nine months ended September 25, 2011, $(4,775), $833, and $562 were reclassified to cost of sales, royalty expense and sales, respectively. In addition, net losses of $(50) and $(109) were reclassified to earnings as a result of hedge ineffectiveness for the quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2011, respectively. Other (income) expense for the nine months ended September 25, 2011 includes a loss of approximately $3,700 related to certain derivatives which no longer qualified for hedge accounting.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2010, the Company reclassified net gains from other comprehensive earnings to earnings of $6,930 and $12,786, respectively. Of the amount reclassified during the quarter ended September 26, 2010, $5,444 was reclassified to cost of sales and $1,504 was reclassified to royalty expense. Of the amount reclassified during the nine-month period ended September 26, 2010, $9,294 and $3,562 were reclassified to cost of sales and royalty expense, respectively. In addition, net losses of $(18) and $(70) were reclassified to earnings as a result of hedge ineffectiveness in the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2010.

Undesignated Hedges

----------------------------------

The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the impact of changes in the fair value of intercompany loans due to foreign currency changes. Due to the short-term nature of the derivative contracts involved, the Company does not use hedge accounting for these contracts. At September 25, 2011, September 26, 2010 and December 26, 2010, the total notional amounts of the Company’s undesignated derivative instruments were $90,077, $72,322 and $89,191, respectively.

At September 25, 2011, the fair values of the Company’s undesignated derivative financial instruments were recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets as follows and at September 26, 2010 and December 26, 2010, the fair values of the Company’s undesignated derivative financial instruments were recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities as follows:

	Sept. 25, 2011	Sept. 26, 2011	Dec. 26, 2010
	---------	---------	---------
Unrealized gains	$ 3,234	32	27
Unrealized losses	(1,034)	(431)	(827)
	---------	---------	---------
Net unrealized gain (loss)	$ 2,200	(399)	(800)
	=====	=====	=====

The Company recorded net gains (losses) of $(1,528) and $1,740 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2011, respectively, and $693 and $(816) on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2010, respectively, relating to the change in fair value of such derivatives, substantially offsetting gains and losses from the change in fair value of intercompany loans to which the contracts relate.

For additional information related to the Company’s derivative financial instruments see Notes 4 and 6.

Segment Reporting (Thousands of Dollars) [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

(10) Segment Reporting

Hasbro is a worldwide leader in children’s and family leisure time products and services, including toys, games and licensed products ranging from traditional to high-tech and digital. The Company’s segments are (i) U.S. and Canada; (ii) International; (iii) Entertainment and Licensing; and (iv) Global Operations.

The U.S. and Canada segment includes the marketing and selling of boys’ action figures, vehicles and playsets, girls’ toys, electronic toys and games, plush products, preschool toys and infant products, electronic interactive products, toy-related specialty products, traditional board games and puzzles, DVD-based games and trading card and role-playing games within the United States and Canada. Within the International segment, the Company markets and sells both toy and certain game products in markets outside of the U.S. and Canada, primarily the European, Asia Pacific, and Latin and South American regions. The Company’s Entertainment and Licensing segment includes the Company’s lifestyle licensing, digital gaming, movie, television and online entertainment operations. The Global Operations segment is responsible for manufacturing and sourcing finished product for the Company’s U.S. and Canada and International segments.

Segment performance is measured at the operating profit level. Included in Corporate and eliminations are certain corporate expenses, the elimination of intersegment transactions and certain assets benefiting more than one segment. Intersegment sales and transfers are reflected in management reports at amounts approximating cost. Certain shared costs, including global product development and marketing expenses, are allocated to segments based upon foreign exchange rates fixed at the beginning of the year, with adjustments to actual foreign exchange rates included in Corporate and eliminations. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those referenced in Note 1.

Results shown for the quarter and nine months are not necessarily representative of those which may be expected for the full year 2011, nor were those of the comparable 2010 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2010. Similarly, such results are not necessarily those which would be achieved were each segment an unaffiliated business enterprise.

Information by segment and a reconciliation to reported amounts for the quarters and nine months ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010 are as follows.

(a) The Global Operations segment derives substantially all of its revenues, and thus its operating results, from intersegment activities.

(b) Certain intangible assets, primarily goodwill, which benefit multiple operating segments are reflected as Corporate assets for segment reporting purposes. In accordance with accounting standards related to impairment testing, these amounts have been allocated to the reporting unit which benefits from their use. In addition, allocations of certain expenses related to these assets to the individual operating segments are done at the beginning of the year based on budgeted amounts. Any difference between actual and budgeted amounts is reflected in Corporate and eliminations.

The following table presents consolidated net revenues by class of principal products for the quarters and nine months ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010. Effective at the beginning of fiscal 2011, the Company has reclassified certain of its products from the Boys category to the Preschool category. The table below presents the 2010 net revenues reclassified to reflect the 2011 product category classifications.
