Same score. I also applied the same heuristic. I wonder what I should have looked for in the MATTEL one.

It's very subtle and more pronounced in the other logos shown, but the horizontal line in the "A" is closer to the baseline in Helvetica than in Arial.

This probably is more to do with recreating the logo imperfectly than the font itself but the kernning was way off on the Arial version.
