Jakks Plans Nintendo Toys

"We are eager to offer a robust and comprehensive lineup of products to satisfy our fan base and generations of Nintendo enthusiasts," says Steve Singer, vice president of licensing, Nintendo of America. "This partnership with Jakks Pacific affords us tremendous opportunity to grow the presence of our iconic brands at retail."

The Halloween line will launch worldwide (excluding Japan and Korea) this fall, followed by the toy line in spring 2014.

"Nintendo is a classic brand, rich in content that appeals to today’s kids, parents and collectors alike, and we are excited to partner together to bring their video game heritage to life in the toy aisle,"
