Mattel seems to not be doing well. No, Scott, I'm NOT happy about that. 2000+ jobs lost plus factories closing is not cool. Sadly, this was telegraphed for a long, long, time.
Losing the Disney license, Toys R Us dying... damn Mitt Romney's Bain Capital and the most important reason:
Mattel quarter assing stuff with their" least amount of effort" dogma.
Monster High fans were disappointed when Mattel started cutting corners on the line. Mattel's reluctance to do anything with their catalaog. They had MOTU AND LICENSE TO MAKE THUNDERCATS TOYS... DC DROPS THEM A CROSSOVER COMIC BOOK what does Mattel do?
Cancels both lines and shuts down their adult collectibles division...
They own Dino Riders and have the license for Jurassic Park figures... wouldn't it be a nice time to bring back Dino Riders... if just to keep the molds when the JP license expires?
But Mattel is Mattel and sadly, their "laziness" seems to be their undoing...
Action figures, Movies, Games, TV shows, things I like, Things I hate, weird news old or recent... they're fair game for my rants. DISCLAIMER: OPINIONS POSTED ARE EXAGGERATED FOR COMEDIC EFFECT!! Got it?
