| - Mattel, Inc. a toy manufacturing company. In 2008, it ranked 413 on the Fortune 500. The products and brands it produces include Fisher Price, Barbie dolls, Monster High dolls, Hot Wheels and Matchbox toys, Masters of the Universe, American Girl dolls, board games, WWE Toys and, in the early 1980s, video game systems. The company's name is derived from Harold "Matt" Matson and Elliot Handler, who founded the company in 1945. Handler's wife, Ruth Handler, later became president, and she is credited with establishing the Barbie product line for the company in 1959. After the release of the Barbie doll, Mattel revolutionized the toy industry with its talking dolls and toys. Major successes in the 1960s with the talking Chatty Cathy doll in 1960 and See 'N Say toys in 1965 moved Mattel to its position as the number one toymaker in America. Mattel closed its last factory in the United States of America, originally part of the Fisher-Price division, in 2002, outsourcing production to China, the beginning of a chain of events that led to a scandal involving lead contamination. On Friday, September 3, 2010, a small-scale "Flash Crash" appears to have occurred in Mattel shares which plunged 22% in pre-market trade for no apparent reason, only to recover shortly thereafter.

Typically, Mattel launches a product and tracks its popularity for a year before creating games, TV shows and books based on the item. For Monster High, Mattel tested the dolls in its Imagination Center, a sprawling facility with one-way mirrors and hidden microphones where it watches volunteer kids play with new toys. Sometimes these sessions are taped or, if they're important enough, even broadcast live throughout the facility. Mattel wouldn't say how much it has invested in Monster High, but analysts peg the figure at easily millions of dollars. In its fiscal third quarter ending in September, it reported that worldwide sales of "other" doll brands, that is, those other than Barbie, were up 7% over last year, and overall, Mattel's girls and boys brand business was up 8% year-over-year, with $1.17 billion in sales.

In addition to Barbie, Mattel's licensed merchandise lines over the years have included Batman, Superman, and several products based on the Muppets and other Henson properties. In recognition of the extent to which Sesame Street products aided corporate revenue, at the International Toy Fair on February 9, 1998, Elmo was appointed CMO ("Chief Muppet Officer") of the company. The announcement was made by Mattel's then-current CEO Jill Barad and Tyco Preschool president Neil Friedman (now president of all Mattel brands). While Elmo's corporate employment might appear to clash with the non-profit status of Sesame Street, his position appeared to be merely ceremonial, as part of a public relations move and to promote the Walk & Talk Big Bird and Cookie Monster dolls; to date, no info has emerged to suggest that Elmo personally affected any changes in the company's toy line, the recent debut of TMX Elmo notwithstanding. Mattel's Sesame Street merchandise was released under the Fisher-Price label until 2011, when the Sesame license went to .
