My Little Pony—PANEL SCHEDULE
Thursday
Hasbro Star Wars
Time: 11:15 AM – 12:15 PM
Room: Family 1A24
Join members of the Hasbro team as they discuss the popular Hasbro Star Wars line that hit shelves on Force Friday! Attendees will get an in-depth look at Hasbro’s latest action figure offerings with a look at new product coming later this year.
Notes: I was hesitant to include this panel in this list since it seems to be focusing entirely on Star Wars, however Hasbro dropped this little bombshell earlier this week with no information as to where or when this little reveal is going to occur. And since this is Hasbro's only panel at the con, it doesn't hurt to check it out.
Besides, who doesn't like Star Wars?
Friday
