I am delivering this opinion in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), of 29,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share of the Company (&#147;Shares&#148;),
which are to be offered and sold by the Company pursuant to the Mattel, Inc. Amended and Restated 2010 Equity and Long-Term Compensation Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This opinion is delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item&nbsp;601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act in connection with the
Registration Statement on Form S-8 that relates to the proposed issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Plan (the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;). Such Registration Statement is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the &#147;Commission&#148;) under the Securities Act. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In rendering the opinion set forth herein, I have made such investigations of fact and law, and
examined such documents and instruments, or copies thereof established to my satisfaction to be true and correct copies thereof, as I have deemed necessary under the circumstances. In some instances, I have relied upon other attorneys in the
Company&#146;s Law Department. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to the foregoing and in reliance thereon, I am of the opinion that, upon the issuance and sale of the Shares in
accordance with the terms of the Plan, assuming in each case that the individual issuances, grants or awards under the Plan are duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and duly issued, granted or awarded and exercised in accordance with
the requirements of law and the Plan (and the agreements and awards duly adopted thereunder and in accordance therewith), including, without limitation, receipt of legal consideration in excess of the par value of the Shares issued and, when the
Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the purchasers or when certificates representing the Shares have been manually signed by an authorized officer of the
transfer agent and registrar therefor, the issue and sale of the Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable securities of the Company. In
rendering the foregoing opinion, I have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (&#147;DGCL&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I express no opinion other than on the laws of the State of California and the DGCL insofar as the DGCL relates to corporate formalities, including statutory
and reported decisional law </P>

any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
