Lady Gaga's Foundation, Mattel's Monster High Team to Empower Teens (Exclusive) - Hollywood Reporter

Okay, on one hand, I don't see the big deal. Lady Gaga is the daughter of a mobster after all, so she is technically related to a monster.

On the other hand, yeah, this sounds just like some marketing ploy. However, children are so overly sensitive due to the internet today, so if there is something that can help them have a much better outlook on their lives, I'm okay with it.

My point still remains: Mattel is probably not including those particular POA to keep their cost down/profit per item up.

1. Silver Surfer is the only Toy Biz Legend I have and the finger articulation is stupid. His hands don't look right when you bend his fingers at all, so it makes sense for it to be lost. Plus, finger articulation sucks when the joints go loose.

2. Surfer doesn't have ratcheted knee, shoulder, and elbow joints, so they are growing looser each day.

3. Mattel IS keeping their profits up by being cheap. Sure, Hasbro does stupid **** too. However, I have never seen a company as dysfunctional as Mattel in my life. They blatantly ignore their customers and believe they know what the customer wants. They don't care about customer service, especially when it comes to Matty Collector. They also want people to go all in on their products rather than having a choice.

The fact is, Mattel is not doing anything to show us they can be better. If they can't give us double jointed knees and elbows, or ankle rockers, how about some god damn interchangeable hands?

Oh really? And who would you say is one?

Gaga is a talented actress and singer who actually respects those around her and the medium she is in. She wants people to be who they are and not what society wants them to be. That is far more than those worthless, selfish, ugly, slut lowlifes who get top news headlines every day like the Kardashians.
