JAKKS powers up a Holiday list of toys for just about everybody

If you’re looking for something cool to get or give this Holiday Season, then JAKKS Pacific probably has something that you’d be interested in, whether it be Star Wars, Mario Kart, or an RC truck with the Hulk sticking out of it. We also recommend you to check out Sunny sadie solid wood outdoor playhouse because we know for a fact that your kids would be head over heels with it.

“Leading up to the season, these toys have already won the hearts and minds of kids, as well as winning accolades from toy experts,” said Stephen Berman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at JAKKS Pacific. “We have innovative products for both boys and girls, and gift-givers will appreciate that these toys are not only packed with hours of fun, but many also offer extended value-added play with interactive apps that are free to download.”

I best remember JAKKS from some of their licenses past, like WWE. They held that one for a ton of years, making some of the most fun wrestling toys of all time (bone-crunching action!). Since then though, they’ve quietly made a name for themselves making a vast array of toys and action-figures for loads of licenses.

They make some wicked radio-controlled stuff, like the Mario Kart vehicle that you’ll see below, as well as a little line that they call ‘Big Figures’. Big Figures are exactly that, action figures that range from large to massive in scale. I have some of their The Force Awakens Big Figures and they’re super-cool, with not only the same articulation that you find on the 3.75 figures, but also removable weapons and little touches like a cloth cape for Captain Phasma.

While I have figures on the smaller end of the Big Figure scale though, they get up to 48″ in height. These are real monsters and could pretty easily be the centerpiece of a collection- or just an awesome conversation starter in a game room or den. The scope of what’s included in the line is pretty broad too, with not just Star Wars, but also Nintendo, TMNT, Halo and more.

And speaking of ‘more’, there’s plenty more on offer from the company than just that stuff, so scroll on down the page and take a glance through the press release of what JAKKS is highlighting for the Holidays. There’s plenty for everyone.

3DIT™ CHARACTER CREATOR AND 3DIT™ ANIMAL CREATOR:

Kids can have all the fun of a 3D printer for the price of a typical printer ink cartridge. The 3DIT™ Character Creator 3D Molding Machine transforms wax into an array of customizable characters, animal friends and entertainment franchise favorites in four simple steps. First, select the character to create (from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to DC Comics Super Heroes, to koalas or puppies) and place the skeleton into the mold form. Next, select the wax stick and insert it into the top of the machine. Third, place the molding pod into the mold maker to heat and set. Last, decorate the character with accompanying stickers and accessories for a traditional or truly original creation that’s only limited by your imagination. Ages 8+/SRP $39.99

For added design inspiration and instruction, kids can download the 3DIT app to their smartphone and other devices. In the app, kids can create characters, drop them into their own world to see how they interact with each other, and use the timer to track their 3DIT creation’s progress.
