The couple that will later found Mattel, were on a vacation on Germany when they saw a doll (forgot the name ). At home they literally copied it and it became a huge success, selling worldwide. The CEO of the German toy company didn’t know about it until he saw it being sold on a toy shop. The company was dying, partially due to the barbie doll and so they sold the company to mattel.
Watched a vid about it like two days ago.
that was a scum move yeah. but I don’t know if it counts as stealing it … also the German doll was a doll from an adult comic strip in a newspaper, it wasn’t particularly for children
Am not sure but it was a doll made for kids by a toy manufacturer they copied not an adult kink thing or something. Sot it’s the same product, same demographic.

Why wouldn’t it ?
because they were different markets ? and different products for different target demographics? idk

We talking legally or morally? Because legally, if the toy wasn’t registered, trademarked, w/e in the US then they did nothing legally wrong.
It’s definitely a dick move to just copy someone’s product and sell it as your own though.
