FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Critics Weigh In on the Line-Up

MALIBU, CA – August 31, 2009 –JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (Nasdaq: JAKK) created the Plug-It-In-and-Play TV Games® category in early 2002 and has since delivered a vast portfolio of award winning electronic products incorporating cutting edge technology at mass price points. JAKKS extends the innovation for 2009 with its new and improved EyeClops® Night Vision 2.0 Goggles, its tiny handheld EyeClops® Mini Projector, and an entire lineup of TV Games™ products that incorporate accelerometer-driven motion technology and the latest trends in gaming at low price points.

“With our 2009 Interactive line-up, we are taking consumer electronics that are typically expensive and out of reach for most families and making them available in the toy aisle with fun, playable features and at an affordable price,” said John Ardell, Senior Vice-President of Interactive, JAKKS Pacific, Inc. “We are very sensitive to how the tough economic environment is affecting families. The EyeClops Mini Projector is a big screen entertainment experience that is portable and affordable. Now families can have movie nights at home over and over for the price of a family night out.”

EyeClops® Mini Projector
