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



To the Participants and Plan Administrator of the
  Fisher-Price, Inc. Matching Savings Plan


We   have  audited  the  accompanying  statements  of  net  assets
available  for  plan benefits of the Fisher-Price,  Inc.  Matching
Savings  Plan  as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and  the  related
statements  of  changes in net assets available for plan  benefits
for  the  years  then  ended.  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, Inc. Matching Savings Plan  as
of  December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in its net  assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

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 December  31,
1993,  and  reportable transactions for the year  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 statements 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

                         DECEMBER 31, 1993





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

    The  Fisher-Price,  Inc.  Matching  Savings  Plan  (the  Plan),
    established  January  1, 1992, is a defined  contribution  plan
    which covers all eligible employees of Fisher-Price, Inc. ("the
    Company") with  at least  six months of service and who are age
    twenty  and  one-half years or older.  Effective  November  30,
    1993,  the  Company  merged with Mattel,  Inc.  ("Mattel")  and
    became  a  wholly-owned subsidiary of Mattel.  As a  result  of
    the  merger, each Fisher-Price, Inc. common share was exchanged
    for  1.275  shares of Mattel 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.  The  Plan
    is  subject  to  certain provisions of the Employee  Retirement
    Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

    Participants  may elect to make voluntary contributions  of  1%
    to   10%  of  their  annual  compensation  subject  to  certain
    limitations.  The Company will match 100% of the first $300  of
    a  participant's contribution, 75% of the next $200 contributed
    and  40%  of contributions over $500 up to a maximum of  6%  of
    annual  compensation.  Additionally, the Board of Directors  of
    Mattel can authorize an additional "discretionary" contribution
    of up to 50% of the  participant's contribution,  limited to 6%
    of his or her annual compensation. Participants are immediately
    vested  in   their  voluntary  contributions,   the   Company's
    contributions, and their share of actual earnings.


    Investment Programs
    -------------------

    The Plan allows participants to direct their contributions,  in
    20%   increments,   to  any  combination  of  four   investment
    accounts.   All investment accounts are maintained by  Fidelity
    Management  Trust  Company.   The  investment  options  are  as
    follows:

      Mattel, Inc. Stock Fund
      -----------------------

      This fund's investments consist of Mattel common stock.  The
      stock  is listed  on the  New York  State Exchange  (Symbol:
      MAT).

      Fidelity Magellan Fund
      ----------------------

      This fund invests in common stock of companies offering long-
      term capital growth.

      Fidelity Growth and Income Portfolio Fund
      -----------------------------------------

      This  fund  invests  in  common stock of  companies  offering
      growth in earnings potential while paying current dividends.

      Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio Fund
      --------------------------------------

      This   fund   invests  primarily  in  guaranteed   investment
      contracts issued by insurance companies and commercial  banks
      and other similar types of fixed principal investments.


                               6

      Employee Loans
      --------------

      Employee  Loans consist  of amounts borrowed by  participants
      less   principal  repayments.   Loans  to  participants   are
      reflected as an increase in Employee Loans and as a  decrease
      in  the equity of the investment fund from which the loan was
      made.   Repayments,  conversely, reduce  Employee  Loans  and
      increase  the respective investment fund's equity.   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.

    Income  earned by each fund, including realized and  unrealized
    gains  and losses on investments, is allocated to participants'
    accounts  based  on  their pro-rata share of contributions  and
    income  earned thereon.  At December 31, 1993 there were  2,121
    participants  in  the Plan of which 859 were  participating  in
    the  Mattel, Inc. Stock  Fund, 1,391 in the  Fidelity  Magellan
    Fund, 1,298 in the Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio Fund  and
    835 in the Fidelity Managed  Income Portfolio Fund.  There were
    259  participants with loans  outstanding at December 31, 1993.
    The Plan  provides the participants  flexibility to  reallocate
    their  account balances among the various investment options at
    certain times stipulated within the Plan agreement.

    Withdrawals, Distributions and Loans
    ------------------------------------

    A  participant undergoing certain types of financial  hardship,
    as  defined by the Plan, may  request the Plan administrator to
    distribute  all  or a  portion  of  his  or  her account.  Such
    distributions may be granted by the Plan administrator  if  the
    participant  meets  certain  criteria  defined  by  the   Plan.
    Distributions  under  the  Plan  commence  immediately   if   a
    participant  dies,  is permanently disabled or  attains  normal
    retirement age.  Upon termination of employment, if the  amount
    in  a  participant's account exceeds $3,500,  benefit  payments
    will  be  delayed  until  a participant  dies,  is  permanently
    disabled   or  attains  normal  retirement  age;   however,   a
    participant  may  request  in  writing  to  receive  his or her
    benefits at  any  time  after employment  terminates.  The Plan
    provides   certain  elections  for   participants  under  which
    distributions from the Plan may be deferred.

    Additionally,  a  participant may  elect  to  borrow  from  the
    accumulated amount of assets in his or her account.   All loans
    are   subject  to  the   review  and   approval   of  the  Plan
    administrator.  Terms and conditions of the loans are discussed
    in the Plan agreement.



                               7

    Administration
    --------------

    The  Plan  is  administered by the Company.   The  Company  has
    selected  Fidelity Management Trust Company to be  the  Trustee
    of  the  Plan.  The Trustee is responsible for maintaining  the
    assets of the Plan and reporting on the earnings and assets  of
    the Plan.  Administrative expenses are paid by the Company.

    Plan Termination
    ----------------

    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.

    For  a  more  complete  description of the  Plan's  provisions,
    participants should refer to the Plan document.


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

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

    The  financial statements are prepared using the accrual  basis
    of accounting.

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

    Investments  are reflected at current market value as  measured
    by  quoted  market prices in an active market or as  determined
    in  good  faith by the Trustee.  Net realized gain or  loss  on
    the  disposition  of investments and investment income are also
    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  and  1992  was  approximately $1,364,000 and
    $44,000, respectively.


3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
    --------------------

    The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan qualifies
    under  Section 401(a)  of  the  Internal  Revenue Code and is,
    therefore, exempt from tax under present income tax laws.
