Hasbro, meanwhile, said growth in its girls category for the period was driven by Furby, My Little Pony and one Direction. Play-Doh helped boost its preschool category and action games such as Angry Birds Star Wars helped fuel growth in the games category.
The company also noted that the Monopoly contest was "tremendously successful" and that it plans to follow up with new versions of the game this year.
The Facebook campaign earlier this year let people vote to eliminate one of the eight tokens that identify the players and introduce a new one. Ultimately, a cat token replaced the iron.
Toy makers are looking to adapt and reinvent old brands as the industry faces a slowdown in developed markets such as the US and Europe, where mobile devices and electronics are stealing attention away from toys.
As such Hasbro has embarked on a cost-cutting programme to maintain profitability. By 2015, it says the programme will result in $100 million in savings annually. For now, the changes are taking its toll in restructuring charges.
For the quarter, Hasbro lost $6.7 million, or five cents per share. That compares with a loss of $2.6 million, or two cents per share, a year ago.
revenue rose more than 2% to $663.7 million despite a hit of more than $3 million from foreign exchange rates.
In North America, revenue growth of 4% was driven by the girls and games categories.
International revenue was flat, or up 1% when excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates. the increase was driven by growth in Latin America and Asia, as well as the games, girls and preschool categories.
