arf at "lead" a Mattel boycott.......

I'm boycotting. Along with the dastardly powers that be Nestle.

That video is utterly crap, isn't it. It's just increased my resolve to avoid their products at all costs, tbh.

Which is really frustrating as lots of the character franchises ARE done by Mattel

Peppa Pig seems to be made by Character Options - anyone know who they're owned by? (same people seem to make the Doctor Who toys).

My Little Pony is made by Hasbro.
