I have no idea. FWIW, I see American Girl dolls everywhere, my daughter is ga ga over them as are all her friends. Still a drop in the bucket compared to Barbie's numbers.

Jill Barad made an open market buy in late August, but whether this was a genuine vote of confidence on her part or a proactive move to save her bacon if MAT disappoints again remains open for debate. I would like to believe the former. We will see.

Barbie actually looks pretty good. Given the disappointments in Avon and Gillette, other branded multinationals scared off investors (DIS, MAT). Mattel may miss the 3rd quarter. At this valuation, I really don't care.
