Jakks Pacific, Inc. is an American toy company. Jakks is well known for their WWE figure line. They have been producing figures for the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) since the mid 1990s.

After obtaining Pet Pal, Jakks is now pursuing the idea of releasing products in the pet industry. In 2006, they will release a Bark N' Bake oven for kids to make doggie treats; a Barbie line of play toys for pets; a Bratz "Hermit crab world" tank; Fairy Princess and Superman hamster habitats; and a comfort pillow and activity blanket for puppies.

One of their more popular products include Plug-and-Play TV Games. The newest editions are wireless and leave the ability for a new round of games to be added through different $10.00 game keys. Recently, the company has come out with a number of different plug-and-play game controllers, featuring games such as Mortal Kombat and Madden '95 (See also:Jakks TV Games). The company, based in Malibu, CA, has grown from the idea of just two people into one of the top five toy companies in the world--all in just 10 years. They have continued to post amazing profits in an industry that has seen a loss every year for the last four years, and their products can be found in retailers all over the world--including Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Radio Shack, and K-Mart. Dragonball Z has been pulled out of most of these stores and is very rarely found. They are usually found at Toys "R" Us.
