Toymaker Mattel reported revenues that increased just 0.2% globally in the third quarter. A 5% fall in Mattel-brand toy sales was not surprising given imports to the U.S. fell 19% according to Panjiva data. Hasbro revenues increased 14%, partly reflecting the first time inclusion of Disney toys which themselves experienced a 6% increase in imports in September. Yet, October is the most important month for toy imports ahead of holiday season sales. This should give a new hope for Hasbro’s Star Wars range, where imports fell 39% in the third quarter due to later timing of the new movie.
