	Mattel
		Mattel Inc. hopes the dolls are hip enough to take on the "Bratz." The Flavas (pronounced "Flay-vuhs," like "flavors"), a set of six dolls brought from design to production in just three months, represent a striking gamble for the giant toy company.
		Mattel has tweaked Barbie many times since she was introduced in 1959: bronzing her skin during the 1970s, introducing fl and Hispanic counterparts and giving her a band (the fuchsia-clad "Rockers") during the 1980s.
		The Mattel dolls were scrapped in testing, current and former designers say, because Mattel had strict quotas that allowed only one "flanker brand" -- that is, a brand that would compete with Barbie for shelf space -- on the market at a time.

		Mattel was the first toy company to take full advantage of modern technology in the Sixties.
		For example, Mattel GmbH was established in Germany in 1967, Mattel Benelux replaced Ebiex in Belgium around 1969 and Mattel SpA took over from EG around 1968/69 in Italy.
