The good news is Hasbro has finally gotten back to reporting profits. The bad news is tt is no longer a man's world as the toy maker was lifted by the soaring sales on girls toys such as My Little Pony and the Nerf Rebelle lines.

Stripping out favorable tax adjustments, earnings were 14 cents per share.
Analysts expected earnings of 10 cents per share.
Revenue climbed 2 percent to $679.5 million from $663.7 million, but missed Wall Street’s estimate of $690.1 million.
