Yeah, they bought out Kenner in the early ninties, and over the years they phased Kenner out and absorbed them, and their licenses. That's how Kenner ended up with Transformers, and how Hasbro now has Star Wars.

A little known fact, Kenner (Who owned Tonka by that point) was working on a Gobot revival, before Hasbro handed them the dead Transformers Franchise and told them to give it a make-over.
So we *almost* got Beast Wars Gobots. <3

They did do a toy line with X-Men: First class, they just laid it easy with two 2 packs and minimates, but they did have figures for them...

To be fair, the First Class two-packs had nothing to do with the movie (Aside from capitalizing on the name), and the minimates aren't Hasbro (Which I presume by someone's context earlier by discluding direct market toylines that we were talking about standard retail toylines like Hasbro).

To the best of my knowledge Cyclops, Jean, Wolverine, and Sabertooth didn't even appear in the movie.
