Be as bold at the end as you are at the launch

After the holidays when HotWheels ID is on close out at Target and getting no expansion through the rest of retail, be as boisterous about its failure as you were about its launch. Make Chris “The Clowb” Down publicly apologize for this abomination... — read more

Mattel was the greatest toy company

What happened to new, out of the box thinking and wacky ideas. When you think back on the famous Mattel IP, Masters of the Universe, She-Ra, Hot Wheels, Barbie, Rainbow Brite, Monster High, there was such great imaginative stuff. Now, nothing! What... — read more

Does the place still have running water?

When I think of Mattel I imagine a village of gollums looking for an invisible ring. Jump in the lava and be done with it you poor and unfortunate souls.
