JAKK

Jakks Pacific, Inc.

A maker of toys and consumer goods, from action figures and dolls to Halloween costumes and role-play gear, sold under licensed brands like Disney, Nintendo, Sonic, and WWE. Founded in 1995 in California by Jack Friedman and Stephen Berman, the company took the name "Jakks" by blending the two founders' first names. Its early standout was a plug-and-play TV game line that hooked straight into a television without a console.
