                                                           (310) 252-3521


          MATTEL REPORTS RECORD RESULTS FOR 1995 SECOND QUARTER;
       DEMAND IS STRONG FOR BARBIE, FISHER-PRICE AND POCAHONTAS TOYS
       -------------------------------------------------------------


LOS ANGELES, July 18 -- Mattel, Inc. today reported record sales and
profitability for the 1995 second quarter.  Net income for the quarter
reached $67.5 million or $.30 per share, up 18 percent from $57.1 million
or $.25 per share in 1994.  Net sales were $763 million, up 17 percent from
$650 million for the same quarter last year.

     "This stellar performance, despite materials price increases and a
sluggish worldwide retail environment, has been driven by excellent
consumer and retail trade reception of our core product lines," John W.
Amerman, Mattel's chairman and chief executive officer, said.  "Worldwide
Barbie and Fisher-Price shipments were particularly strong.  In addition,
shipments of Pocahontas toys during the second quarter of this year
exceeded those of Lion King in the year-ago quarter."

     For the first half of 1995, net income increased by 16 percent to a
record $94.5 million or $.41 per share, versus $81.2 million or $.35 per
share in the first six months of 1994.  Year-to-date net sales were a
record $1.307 billion, up 15 percent from $1.138 billion in 1994.

     "Year-to-date consumer takeaway is growing at a faster rate than
shipments to the retail trade," Amerman said.  "This momentum plus the
second half availability of new fully-articulated Barbie dolls, the Cabbage
Patch Kids product line and new Fisher-Price items reinforces our
confidence that 1995 will be Mattel's seventh consecutive year of record
sales and record earnings."

     Mattel, Inc. is the worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and
marketing of children's toys.  With headquarters in El Segundo, California,
Mattel has offices and facilities in 36 countries and sells its products in
more than 140 nations throughout the world.
