Worldwide gross billings, or the amount invoiced to customers, for dolls rose 27%, bringing in $885 million to Mattel in the third quarter.
Meanwhile, vehicles — mainly driven by Hot Wheels — rose 18% to $519 million compared to the same quarter a year ago.
The company reported $146.3 million in net income during the quarter, down 50% from the $289.9 million it reported in the same quarter a year ago.
Customers were also snatching up Hot Wheels toys, which partly offset the declines in action figures, building sets and games.
Mattel said it sold $350 million worth of Barbie products in the quarter.
