                                TENDER OFFER 
  
      This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement
 on Schedule 14D-1 filed on October 2, 1998 (as amended and supplemented the

 the Rights Agreement, dated as of January 17, 1990, by and between the
 Company and Mellon Securities Trust Company as Rights Agent (the "Rights"
 and, together with the Common Stock, the "Shares"), of Galoob Toys, Inc., a
 Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at $12.00 per Share, net to the
 seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the
 conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated October 2, 1998 and the

 Dear Galoob Option Holder: 
  
   In connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
 September 17, 1998, by and among Galoob Toys, Inc. ("Galoob"), Hasbro, Inc,
 ("Hasbro") and New HIAC II Corp. (the "Merger Agreement"), and Hasbro's
 related offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value
 $0.01 per share, of Galoob (the "Common Stock"), Galoob has agreed to
 terminate its existing 1996 Share Incentive Plan, 1995 Non-Employee
 Director Stock Option Plan, 1994 Senior Management Stock Option Plan and
 Amended and Restated 1984 Employee Stock Option Plan (collectively, the
 "Option Plans").  The Option Plans shall be terminated effective as of the
 effective date of the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the
 "Merger"). 
  
   In connection with the termination of the Option Plans, each outstanding
 option to purchase Common Stock (each, an "Option") held by you, whether or
 not then vested or exercisable, shall, immediately prior to the Merger,
 automatically become vested and exercisable and shall thereafter be
 cancelled.  In exchange for the cancellation of Options held by you
 pursuant to which you hold the option to purchase shares of Common Stock
 for an amount which is less than $12.00 per share, the Company shall pay to
 you, in cash, an amount which shall be determined pursuant to the formula
 set forth below (such amount, the "Cancellation Consideration").  In the
 event you hold an Option to purchase shares of Common Stock for an amount
 equal to or greater than $12.00 per share of Common Stock, there shall be
 no payment made to you in exchange for the cancellation of such Option. 
  
   The Cancellation Consideration shall be for an amount equal to the
 product of (A) the excess, if any, of (i) $12.00, over (ii) the exercise
 price per share of Common Stock subject to each cancelled Option and (B)
 the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each such cancelled Option. 
 Any consideration you may be entitled to pursuant to this formula will be
 paid without interest and net of any withholding taxes. 
  
   Please return a signed copy of this letter to Kathleen R. McElwee to the
 address set forth above.  No payment will be made unless a signed copy of
 this letter is received by Ms. McElwee by November 2, 1998.  By signing
 this letter, you hereby acknowledge and agree to accept cash payment in
 accordance with the formula set forth above in consideration for the
 cancellation of your Options. 
  
   The cancellation of the Options and the payments, if any, pursuant to
 the description contained herein are contingent on the consummation of the
 transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  If the transactions
 contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not consummated, this notice shall
 be deemed null and void. 
  
   If you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please contact
 Kathleen R. McElwee at (650) 952-1678 (ext. 2210). 
  
 Very truly yours, 
  
 GALOOB TOYS, INC.
