    When Lawyers Attack Customers

    Some toy reviewers have been banned from social media because Mattel is mad at them for posting images of toys that were not officially available in the U.S. yet. Imagine…

    Fun little article and video of Mattel trying to drive off collectors and fans.

    I saw that. Mattel has since rescinded those strikes and made peace with the Dino guy. Probably a young lawyer for the company taking action without much forward thinking.

      Not quite the end though...turns out a Mattel lawyer watched and commented on RetroBlasting's video calling Mattel out. He of course attempted to defend Mattel. Pretty creepy that Mattel has their lawyers stalking people who make toy videos.

        Thats ridiculous. Appreciate the update. Mattel needs to reel in their legal team. Not good for the bottom line.

          What made me mad was a doco where some lame toy exec was making on the fly decisions about what toys would sell.
          He discarded everything I thought was cool.
