Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Schedule of Segment Income (Loss) | The following tables present information regarding segment income and significant expense information for Mattel's reportable segments. Unallocated corporate and other operating expenses include operating costs not allocated to individual segments, including charges related to incentive and share-based compensation, corporate headquarters functions managed on a worldwide basis, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany transactions, and certain severance and other restructuring costs. It is impracticable for Mattel to present net sales by categories, brands, or products, as trade discounts and other allowances are generally recorded in the financial accounting systems by customer.
