Explanation of Responses:

1. As reported on a Form 4 dated July 31, 2011 and filed on August 2, 2011, the reporting person received a grant of 7,583 Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs" or "Units") on August 1, 2011. The RSUs vest as to 50% of the Units on the second anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% of the Units on the third anniversary of the date of grant. On each vesting date, for each Unit vesting on such date, the reporting person will receive one share of Mattel common stock (or, at the election of Mattel, a cash amount equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of vesting), subject to tax withholding. On August 1, 2013, the first 50% of these RSUs vested, resulting in the issuance of 3,791 shares of Mattel common stock.

2. Pursuant to the terms of the August 1, 2011 RSU grant, 1,979 shares of Mattel common stock were automatically withheld at vesting to cover required tax withholding.

3. As reported on a Form 3 dated February 4, 2011 and filed on February 11, 2011, the reporting person received a grant of 7,442 Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs" or "Units") on August 2, 2010. The RSUs vest as to 50% of the Units on the second anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% of the Units on the third anniversary of the date of grant. On each vesting date, for each Unit vesting on such date, the reporting person will receive one share of Mattel common stock (or, at the election of Mattel, a cash amount equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of vesting), subject to tax withholding. On August 2, 2013, the remaining 50% of these RSUs vested, resulting in the issuance of 3,721 shares of Mattel common stock.

4. Pursuant to the terms of the August 2, 2010 RSU grant, 1,942 shares of Mattel common stock were automatically withheld at vesting to cover required tax withholding.

5. As of August 2, 2013, the reporting person had a balance of $134,437.71 in the Mattel Stock Fund of Mattel's 401(k) Personal Investment Plan ("PIP"). The number of shares has been calculated by the plan administrator for the PIP.

6. The option was granted on August 1, 2013 pursuant to the Mattel, Inc. 2010 Equity and Long-Term Compensation Plan (the "2010 Plan"). The option vests and becomes exercisable with regard to (a) 33% of the shares granted on the first anniversary of the date of grant, (b) an additional 33% of the shares granted on the second anniversary of the date of grant, and (c) the remaining 34% of the shares granted on the third anniversary of the date of grant.

7. The Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs" or "Units") were granted on August 1, 2013 pursuant to the 2010 Plan. Each Unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Mattel common stock (or, at the election of Mattel, a cash amount equal to the fair market value of such share). The RSUs are accompanied by dividend equivalent rights.

8. The RSUs vest as to 50% of the Units on the second anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% of the Units on the third anniversary of the date of grant. On each vesting date, for each unit vesting on such date, the reporting person will receive one share of Mattel common stock (or, at the election of Mattel, a cash amount equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of vesting), subject to tax withholding.
