They may also have had access to digital files of the box art. if so tweaking them would not have been hard. By creating a pirated doll they capitalized on a brand Mattel has spent millions to advertise. The difficulty in launching an original product is building that kind of brand recognition. <br /><br />I wonder if Mattel had planned to release the Toys R Us exclusive Wydowna Spider before these fakes showed up. It may be that the pirates forced their hand which is a good thing to my mind.limbe dollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704328250988686700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472391728648822352.post-19778823277938259212014-11-30T15:11:54.399-08:002014-11-30T15:11:54.399-08:00The fake ones are kinda good but my goodness!

Instead they took the low road and attempted to cash in on Mattel's success.
