                 MATTEL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
                 ------------------------------------


LOS ANGELES, April 18 -- Mattel, Inc. today reported first quarter

net income of $27.0 million or $.12 per share, up 12 percent from

$24.1 million or $.10 per share in 1994.  Net sales were $543.6

million, up 12 percent from $487.3 million for the same quarter

last year.

    "The strong Mattel momentum shown at the end of 1994 continues

in 1995, with consumer and retail trade demand remaining excellent

for our core product lines -- Barbie, Fisher-Price, Disney and Hot

Wheels," John W. Amerman, Mattel's chairman and chief executive

officer, said.

    "In total, these core brand sales that account for approximately

80 percent of Mattel's volume grew 15 percent in the first quarter,

versus the year-ago period," Amerman said.  "We're also benefitting

from outstanding consumer demand for additional products such as

Polly Pocket and Street Sharks, which are currently two of the most

sought-after toys at retail.

    "While the majority of our business occurs in the second half

of the year, the strong early retail trade and consumer response

gives us confidence we will meet our 1995 targets, and Mattel will

achieve its seventh consecutive year of record sales and earnings,"

Amerman said.

    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.
