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 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011, 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 quarters ended September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011 are 13-week periods. The nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011 are 40-week and 39-week periods, respectively. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year, nor were those of the comparable 2011 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2011. 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 25, 2011 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 25, 2011. 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.

Other Comprehensive Earnings (Thousands of Dollars) [Abstract]

Other Comprehensive Earnings (Loss)

(3) Other Comprehensive Earnings (Loss)

Components of other comprehensive earnings are presented within the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings. The related tax benefit (expense) of gains (losses) on cash flow hedging activities within other comprehensive earnings was $861 and $(1,000) for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012. The income tax expense related to reclassification adjustments of net gains on cash flow hedging activities from other comprehensive earnings was $501 and $1,063 for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

The related tax (expense) benefit of gains (losses) on cash flow hedging activities within other comprehensive earnings were $(3,377) and $2,308 for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 25, 2011, respectively. The income tax benefit related to reclassification adjustments for net losses on cash flow hedging activities from other comprehensive earnings were $477 and $251 for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 25, 2011, respectively.

At September 30, 2012, the Company had remaining deferred gains on hedging instruments, net of tax, of $6,676 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 30, 2012, the Company expects approximately $5,843 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.

Changes in the components of accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011 are as follows:

	Pension and Postretirement Amounts	Gains (Losses) on Derivative Instruments	Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments	Total Accumulated Other Comprehensive Earnings (Loss)
2012	-------------	----------------	----------------	----------------
Balance at Dec. 25, 2011	$ (86,822)	10,081	40,798	(35,943)

The carrying cost of the 6.125% Notes Due 2014 includes principal amounts of $425,000 as well as fair value adjustments of $14,011, $20,176, and $15,977 at September 30, 2012, September 25, 2011 and December 25, 2011, respectively, related to interest rate swaps. All other carrying costs represent principal amounts. Total principal amount of long-term debt at September 30, 2012, September 25, 2011 and December 25, 2011 was $1,384,895.

The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt are considered Level 3 fair values (see Note 6 for further discussion of the fair value hierarchy) and are measured using the discounted future cash flows method. In addition to the debt terms, the valuation methodology includes an assumption of a discount rate that approximates the current yield on a similar debt security. This assumption 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.

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 30, 2012, September 25, 2011 and December 25, 2011, the fair values of these contracts were $14,011, $20,176, and $15,977, respectively, which are recorded in other assets with a corresponding fair value adjustment to increase long-term debt. The Company recorded losses of $651 and $1,966 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively and gains of $2,040 and $7,390 for the quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2011, respectively, on these instruments in other (income) expense, net relating to the change in fair value of such derivatives, wholly offsetting (gains) losses from the change in fair value of the associated long-term debt, also included in other (income) expense.

Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Sep. 30, 2012
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 has commenced an examination related to the 2008 and 2009 U.S. federal income tax returns. The Company is also 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 $195,760 (at September 30, 2012 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 30, 2012, bonds totaling approximately $165,960 (at September 30, 2012 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. At September 30, 2012, the Company has a liability for uncertain tax benefits, including potential interest and penalties, totaling $108,228 which is a component of other liabilities. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that it may make approximately $5,900 of net tax payments and reduce its liability for uncertain tax benefits within the next 12 months related to the resolution of an uncertain tax position.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2012

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 30, 2012, September 25, 2011 and December 25, 2011, these investments totaled $23,403, $20,095 and $19,657 respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded net gains of $1,082 and $1,847 on these investments in other (income) expense, net for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, related to the change in fair value of such investments. For the quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2011, the Company recorded net (losses) gains of $(24) and $499, respectively, on these investments in other (income) expense, net, related to the change in fair value of such investments.

At September 30, 2012, September 25, 2011 and December 25, 2011, the Company had the following assets and liabilities measured at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets:

		Fair Value Measurements Using:

	=====	====	======	====

For a portion 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. 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. In 2012 the Company purchased an available-for-sale investment which invests in hedge funds which contain financial instruments that are valued using certain estimates which are considered unobservable in that they reflect the investment manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company believes that these estimates are the best information available for use in the fair value of this investment. The Company’s derivatives consist primarily of foreign currency forward contracts. The Company uses current forward rates of the respective foreign currencies to measure the fair value of these contracts. The Company’s derivatives also include interest rate swaps used to effectively adjust the interest rates on a portion of the Company’s long-term debt from fixed to variable. 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 instruments consist of warrants to purchase common stock of an unrelated company. 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 2012.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the fair value measurements of the Company’s financial instruments which use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

	2012	2011
	-----------	-----------
Balance at beginning of year	$ 3,724	9,155
Purchases	5,000	-
Loss from change in fair value	(1,335)	(6,275)
	--------	--------
Balance at end of third quarter	$ 7,389	2,880

Derivative Financial Instruments

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 an unrelated company 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 2012 and 2013.

At September 30, 2012, September 25, 2011 and December 25, 2011, the notional amounts and fair values of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments were as follows.

	Sept. 30, 2012		Sept. 25, 2011		Dec. 25, 2011

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 30, 2012, September 25, 2011 and December 25, 2011 as follows:

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reclassified gains from other comprehensive earnings to net earnings of $2,124 and $5,442, respectively. Of the amount reclassified during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, $3,431 was reclassified to cost of sales, $824 was reclassified to royalty expense and $(2,178) was reclassified to sales. Of the amount reclassified during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, $6,372, $1,830 and $(2,821) were reclassified to cost of sales, royalty expense and sales, respectively. In addition, net gains of $47 and $61 were reclassified to earnings as a result of hedge ineffectiveness for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2011, the Company reclassified net losses from other comprehensive earnings to net 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 included a loss of approximately $3,700 in other (income) expense related to certain derivatives which no longer qualified for hedge accounting.

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 30, 2012, September 25, 2011 and December 25, 2011, the total notional amounts of the Company’s undesignated derivative instruments were $184,555, $90,077 and $218,122, respectively.

At September 30, 2012, September 25, 2011 and December 25, 2011, the fair values of the Company’s undesignated derivative financial instruments were recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

	Sept. 30, 2012	Sept. 25, 2011	Dec. 25, 2011

The Company recorded net (gains) losses of $726 and $2,194 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $(1,528) and $1,740 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2011, 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

(9) Segment Reporting

Hasbro is a worldwide leader in children’s and family leisure time products with a broad portfolio of brands and entertainment properties. The Company earns revenue and generates cash primarily through the sale of a broad variety of toy and game products, distribution of television programming based on the Company’s properties, and through the out-licensing of rights for use of its properties in connection with complementary products, including digital media and games and lifestyle products, offered by third-parties. 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 develops, markets and sells both toy and game products in the U.S. and Canada. The International segment consists of the Company’s European, Asia Pacific and Latin and South American toy and game marketing and sales operations. 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 2012, nor were those of the comparable 2011 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2011. 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 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011 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 represents consolidated International segment net revenues by major geographic region for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011.

Subsequent Events	Sep. 30, 2012
Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events [Text Block]	(10) Subsequent Events On October 25, 2012, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit agreement, which provides the Company with an unsecured committed line of credit (the “Amended Agreement”). The Amended Agreement provides the Company with an additional $200,000 to the previous committed borrowing facility, for a total committed borrowing facility of $700,000 under the Amended Agreement. In addition, the Amended Agreement extends the committed borrowing facility through October 2017 and reduces certain fees. The commitment fee to be paid by the Company based on the unused portion of the facility is reduced to 0.15% from 0.225% and the interest rate was amended to a Base Rate or Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.25% from Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.50% on borrowings under the facility. Under the Amended Agreement, the commitment fee and the amount of the spread to the Base Rate or Eurocurrency Rate will continue to vary based on the Company’s long-term debt ratings and the Company’s leverage. There were no changes to existing financial covenants.
