How would Hasbro react if some groups used their toys for religious purposes?

Say, Hasbro sells MLP at Country X, whose people consider gryphons as sacred animals in their religion.

 

As a result, many customers from that country (not just little girls and their parents, and any local bronies and pegasisters) go to toy stores all over Country X to buy any sets with Gilda figures, to use these plastic images of that particular she-gryphon as idols to worship their gods.

How would Hasbro react to its customers, from that particular country, treating some of its toys like religious items?

 

Would Hasbro stop selling the worshipped toys to preserve its secular image, or to avoid religious controversies?

 

Or would Hasbro not only continue selling the worshipped toys, but also theme those toys after the customers' culture and folktales? Or even use this unusual tradition to promote an event influenced by Country X's local traditions, to promote their toys and entertain their customers?

I don't think they'd care that much, they're getting money and business from the sales of their toys, and I'm not sure it really bothers them what those toys are then used for. And as it would probably make the news, they might get a bit of publicity out of it.

I don't mind the new year  mlp since 2014 was the year of the horse. No harm done acknowledging mlp year. But other like worshipping or a cu(o)lt?....then it would weird.  but I think habro wouldn't care less, as long they make  $$$ out of them.

They wouldn't publicly say a word, especially if the question is limited to fan sites. A comment on this sort of thing would have a greater chance of impacting their bottom line than silence.
