Dear Galoob Option Holder:

      We are sending you this letter so that you are aware of the treatment
to your outstanding options (each, an "Option") to purchase shares of
common stock (the "Common Stock"), par value $0.01 per share, of Galoob
Toys, Inc. ("Galoob"), which Options were granted to you pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the 1996 Share Incentive Plan or the Amended and
Restated 1984 Employee Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "Option
Plans"), in light of the proposed acquisition by Hasbro, Inc. ("Hasbro") of
Galoob.

      Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as
of September 27, 1998, by and among Galoob, Hasbro and New HIAC II Corp.
(the "Merger Agreement"), Galoob has agreed to terminate the Option Plans
effective as of consummation of the merger contemplated by the Merger
Agreement (the "Merger"). In connection with the termination of the Option
Plans, each outstanding Option held by you shall, immediately prior to the
Merger, automatically be cancelled.

      Please note, however, that the cancellation of the Options is
contingent on the consummation of the Merger. If the Merger is not
consummated, this notice shall be deemed null and void.

      If you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please contact 
Ms. Kathleen R. McElwee at (650) 952- 1678, extension 2210.

Sincerely,


William G. Catron
