Whilst at Mattel, Ross also failed to see the shift in consumer preferences of the "tween" segment: i.e. girls between the age of 9 to 12 years old.

This caused a U.S. toy company named MGA Entertainment Inc. to launch a competitive series of dolls named Bratz.

2001

After the introduction of Bratz in 2001, sales of Barbie declined rapidly, whereby Bratz outsold Barbie for the first time in December 2003.

From that moment, Bratz became had number one marketshare position.

As a consequence of the significant drop in sales of Barbie, Mattel had to take drastic measures to be able to further lose marketshare.

Ross left Mattel just after Barbie lost its number one market position.
