One in a Million! On Aaliyah’s birthday, Barbie pays homage to the legendary American R&B singer, actress, and model with our latest Music Series doll.    "We hope the Aaliyah Barbie serves as a powerful reminder to her loyal fans and Barbie collectors everywhere that, like Aaliyah, they can unlock their limitless potential and achieve anything they set their minds to." -- Krista Berger, SVP Barbie and Global Head of Dolls    More: https://lnkd.in/g7gPw37K   #Barbie 

The entire Mattel, Inc. organization grieves with the greater LA community and those who have been impacted by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. Mattel Children’s Foundation is supporting relief efforts led by many of our longstanding nonprofit partners including the American Red Cross Los Angeles Region, The Salvation Army, Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, Good+Foundation, and Baby2Baby. We are grateful to the heroic firefighters and first responders, as well as community leaders and volunteers, including many Mattel team members who have donated their time and opened their homes to their neighbors and colleagues in need. Our thoughts are with all who are suffering during this unprecedented crisis in our headquarter city. Our support will continue.

“Hot Wheels right now, we have so much momentum. We are on track for our seventh consecutive biggest year in a row. We have a team that is incredibly motivated, excited, and proud to be working on the brand, and so the future really is ours to define.” – Mattel’s SVP & Global Head of Design for Hot Wheels & Building Sets, Ted Wu With decades of innovation and driven by a passionate team that explores new frontiers and stays connected to its fans every day, Hot Wheels continues to accelerate, while embracing the challenger spirit.

I'm very proud to congratulate my friend and Mattel, Inc. colleague Michael Moore on his well-deserved appointment to the US Patent and Trademark Office's Trademark Public Advisory Committee. It's great to know that the entire country now will benefit from Michael's skill, dedication and deep knowledge of intellectual property law that we enjoy at Mattel every day. https://lnkd.in/g8H__wSu

In true Barbie style, we rounded out the holiday season in fun and festive flair with our partners at Verizon and Sphere Entertainment Co. The Barbie StreamHouse powered by Verizon was brought to life on the iconic 366-foot-tall Sphere in Las Vegas – helping Barbie and her friends reach great heights – making this the official Barbie debut on the world’s largest LED screen. The Exosphere played groundbreaking creative with fresh storytelling, working with a best-in-class team to adapt our Barbie stop-motion style into CGI animation for the first time ever. #Barbie #Verizon #SphereVegas

Hot Wheels is more than just a toy, it’s a brand that connects car enthusiasts across generations and is a gateway to memories created during childhood. I recently spoke with Jaclyn Peiser at The Washington Post about how adult fans are celebrating their passion for car culture through Hot Wheels collecting. Who still remembers their first Hot Wheels? 🚙

The holiday magic is alive and thriving at Mattel HQ! To celebrate an amazing year of play, purpose, and innovation, we transformed our campus into a winter wonderland. Mattel employees enjoyed the joyful sound of holiday carolers, a merry-go-round, and seasonal treats. Mattel’s afternoon was filled with celebration and connection, reminding us of the power of play – not just in the toys we create, but the moments we share. ⭐️🎠🎶

On Friday, December 6, the East Aurora Leadership team visited John R. Oishei Children's Hospital to spread holiday cheer! Santa, Buddy and the elves visited room to room and handed out toys to patients throughout the hospital. A huge thank you to the Child Life team who helps make our yearly visit a success. On Saturday, December 7, we attended the annual Festival of Trees supporting John R. Oishei Children's Hospital. Our “Countdown to Christmas” and “Race to Christmas” trees were auctioned off during the live auction at the gala and raised a total of $49,500 for the hospital. “Proceeds from this year’s Festival of Trees will directly benefit mental and behavioral health care for kids at OCH and beyond. Our team of pediatric specialists is ready to provide these programs—and hope—for families.” Thank you to our Festival of Trees design team for creating two beautiful displays and thank you to the Mattel Global Trade Show Production team for their help on the Hot Wheels tree! We are already looking forward to next year.
