                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                 ---------------------------------



To the Participants and Plan Administrator of the
  Fisher-Price Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan


We   have  audited  the  accompanying  statements  of  net  assets
available for plan benefits of the Fisher-Price Profit Sharing and
Retirement  Savings  Plan  as of June  30, 1994  and  December 31,
1993, and the related statement of changes in net assets available
for plan benefits for the six month period ended  June  30,  1994.
These  financial  statements are  the responsibility  of the  Plan
Administrator.  Our responsibility is  to express  an  opinion  on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits in accordance with  generally  accepted
auditing  standards.  Those standards require  that  we  plan  and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An  audit
includes  examining,  on  a test basis,  evidence  supporting  the
amounts  and  disclosures in the financial statements.   An  audit
also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used   and
significant  estimates made by management, as well  as  evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in  all material respects, the net assets  available  for
plan  benefits  of the Fisher-Price Profit Sharing and  Retirement
Savings Plan  as of June 30, 1994  and December 31, 1993,  and the
changes in its  net assets available for plan benefits for the six
month  period ended  June 30, 1994,  in  conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, effective June
30, 1994,  the Plan was merged and all assets  were transferred to
the Fisher-Price, Inc. Matching Savings Plan.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental
schedules of assets held for investment purposes at June 30, 1994,
and reportable  transactions for the six month period  then  ended
are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a
required   part  of  the  basic  financial  statements   but   are
supplementary  information required by the Department  of  Labor's
Rules  and  Regulations  for Reporting and  Disclosure  under  the
Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of  1974.   The  Fund
Information in the statements of net assets available for benefits
and the statement  of changes in net assets available for benefits
is  presented for purposes of additional analysis rather  than  to
present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes  in
net  assets  available  for  plan  benefits  of  each  fund.   The
supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to
the  auditing  procedures  applied in  the  audits  of  the  basic
financial  statements and, in our opinion, are fairly  stated,  in
all   material  respects,  in  relation  to  the  basic  financial
statements taken as a whole.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           JUNE 30, 1994





1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
    -----------------------

    The  following  brief  description of the  Fisher-Price  Profit
    Sharing  and Retirement Savings Plan  (the "Plan") is  provided
    for  general  information purposes  only.  Participants  should
    refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

    The  Plan is noncontributory and was funded entirely by Fisher-
    Price,   Inc. ("Fisher-Price"  or  the  "Company").   Effective
    November 30, 1993,  Fisher-Price, Inc. merged with Mattel, Inc.
    and  became  a wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Mattel, Inc.  As  a
    result of the merger, each Fisher-Price, Inc. common share  was
    exchanged  for  1.275 shares of Mattel, Inc. common  stock, and
    the  Fisher-Price  Stock  Fund became the  Mattel  Stock  Fund.
    There  was  no  effect on Plan provisions as a result  of  this
    transaction.

    On June  30, 1994,  the Plan  was merged  and  all  assets were
    transferred into the  Fisher-Price, Inc. Matching Savings Plan.
    As a result  of the merger, the Plan will no longer be required
    to  file Form  5500 or  an annual  report on  Form 11-K  or any
    reports  under the  Securities Act  of 1934, subsequent to this
    filing.

    Each  participant's account is adjusted monthly  based  upon  a
    valuation   by   the   Trustee   of   the   investment   funds.
    Participants  may  receive payment  of  their  account  in  the
    following circumstances:

    Hardship Withdrawals
    --------------------

    Upon the application  of any participant, the Company,  at  its
    discretion, may permit the participant to withdraw all  of  the
    value in his or her account less earnings (interest, dividends,
    gains,  etc.) after January 1, 1989, or a portion  thereof  for
    the purpose of:

    a) Alleviating  extraordinary financial hardship  arising  from
       the  sickness  or  disability  of  the  participant  or  his
       or her spouse, children, or other dependents; or

    b) Purchasing real property which is to serve as the  principal
       residence of the participant; or

    c) Financing the cost of education beyond the secondary  school
       level for the participant or a family member; or

    d) Avoiding  eviction/foreclosure  on  property  which  is  the
       principal residence of the participant.

    Termination of Employment
    -------------------------

    In  the  event  of  resignation or discharge  prior  to  normal
    retirement  date, a participant has a nonforfeitable  right  to
    the value of his or her account.  The Plan shall determine  the
    form, time and manner of payment.

    Retirement
    ----------

    Normal  retirement is at age 65.  Participants  may  remain  in
    the  Plan beyond age 65 upon the joint consent of the Plan  and
    the  participant.  The Plan shall determine the form, time  and
    manner  of payment of benefits, which may be either a lump  sum
    or in periodic payments from the trust assets.

    Disability
    ----------

    In  the  event  of  permanent disability prior  to  the  normal

    In  the  event  of  termination of the Plan,  all  participants
    shall  have  a  fully vested and nonforfeitable  right  to  the
    amount  credited  to  their  accounts  at  the  date  of   such
    termination.


                               5

    Loans
    -----

    Participants  of  the Plan may borrow against their  investment
    fund  account  balances.  In general,  the  maximum  amount  of
    individual  borrowings  is  50%  of  the  total  value  of  the
    account,  but  not  more than $50,000.   Loans  are  repaid  in
    installments  over  a  period of one to  four  years,  but  not
    beyond  early or normal retirement.  Interest paid to the  Plan
    on  loans to participants is credited to the borrower's account
    in  the investment fund to which repayments are allocated.


2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    ------------------------------------------

    Basis of Accounting
    -------------------

    The  financial statements are prepared using the accrual  basis
    of  accounting, except that security transactions are  recorded
    on  a  settlement date basis by the Trustee and  earnings  from
    interest  and  dividends  on certain investments  are  recorded
    when  received.   The  effect  of  these  departures  from  the
    accrual basis of accounting was not significant.

    Investments
    -----------

    Investments  are reflected at current market value measured  by
    quoted  market  prices in an active market or as determined  in
    good  faith by the  Trustee.  Investments  held by Metropolitan
    Life  Insurance  Company and Fidelity Investment Managed Income
    Portfolio II are recorded at contract value.  Contract value is
    equal to total contributions to the fund, plus interest earned,
    less benefit payments, withdrawals and fees.  Net realized gain
    or loss on the disposition of investments and investment income
    are determined by the Trustee.  The unrealized appreciation and
    depreciation  of  investments  is determined  from  information
    provided  by  the  Trustee.   Net  unrealized  appreciation  at
    December 31, 1993 was approximately $10,705,000.


3 - TRUSTEE SERVICES RENDERED TO THE PLAN
    -------------------------------------

    Under  the  Trust  Agreement, Manufacturers and  Traders  Trust
    Company  was   appointed  Trustee  of  the  Plan  assets.   All
    trustee fees and administrative costs are paid by the Company.


4 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
    --------------------

    The Plan has received a determination  letter from the Internal
    Revenue Service (IRS),  stating that the Plan,  as restated and
    amended  through May  1991,  constituted a qualified plan under
    Section 401(a)  of the  Internal Revenue Code  and the trust is
    exempt from income taxes under Section 501(a).

    As  long as the Plan is qualified, a participating employee (or
    their designated beneficiary or legal representative) will  not
    be  subject  to federal income taxes on dividends, interest  or
    profits  from  the sale of securities received by  the  Trustee
    until cash benefits are distributed to the participant.
