Mattel, Google partner for mysterious product debut on February 13

Google, together with toymaker Mattel, will be unveiling a new product next week on February 13. Some are speculating that the View-Master might be getting a modern spin because the invite to the event says the attendees will “view what’s possible” and there seems to be the outline of a View-Master reel. Or maybe we’re going to see the Google Cardboard being reimagined for the younger set. The announcement is happening a day before the Toy Fair 2015 in Manhattan so perhaps we might be getting a Google-Mattel-made toy. We just have to wait a few more days to find out.
