Jakks Pacific Announces Deal for Dav Pikey’s ‘Dog Man’

Jakks Pacific and its costume division, Disguise, have partnered with Dav Pilkey to create a line of toys and costumes based on Pilkey’s Dog Man graphic novel series and the upcoming “Dog Man” theatrical release from DreamWorks Animation and Universal Pictures. The license, which includes North America, the U.K. and Australia, was brokered by The Joester Loria Group, exclusive global licensing agent for Dog Man and Cat Kid Comic Club, on behalf of Writers House and Dav Pilkey.
