Thread regarding Mattel Inc. layoffs

The reputation of failure

Mattel has come to a point where it has “gained’ a reputation of a company that is always failing. We didn’t wait long to see another failure by Mattel, as DC has licensed Spin Master to produce the new line of boy’s action category toys, remote control, and robotic vehicles, water toys and games, and puzzles. It’s said that 2020 will be an active year regarding the licensing of toy production, as many licenses will be open for grabs, but with these practices and with this attitude, honestly, what can we expect?

I’d rather work for Isaac as his pissboy than have to work under SL.

Truth. The only thing SL has ever had a profound effect on is a buffet.

SL is at Gund/Spin with some "new" (more failures) cronies from the NYC office that she brought along. During her power crazed tenure; she did not bring any properties worth a damn to FP when she was in charge (can't speak to MEGA) and most likely did not have anything to do with the DC license. Anyone giving her that much power after failing in the epic way she did would be foolish. Our heartfelt sympathies to the folks at Gund.

The reason Spinmaster is getting the licenses is because Susie is there and she’s still bitter for being (rightly) fired for taking yet another business(FP Friends was first, then Thomas and then Megablocks) and ineptly running it. She’s a spiteful person who even her Jamaican husband wants to run away from.

She’ll bring down Spin too

Mattel has become the NY Mets of toys.

Although only Batman sells for DC in terms of product. Blame their lame movies for that.

DC can see this is a sinking ship from miles away. What choice did they have? They had to run over to Spin to save their business. I wonder how many layoffs will come from this announcement. Mattel has become so good at losing, I don't think anyone can stop them now.
