Toy Fair 2017: Jakks Pacific – Tsum Tsum, Beauty and the Beast, Star Wars and more!

Moana

Moana made a big splash at the box office and on store shelves. Jakk’s Pacific will continue celebrating Disney’s latest animated masterpiece with a few new items. Currently available, kids can dress up in Moana’s signature look from her adventurous voyage. An accessory set gives them the power to restore the heart of Te Fiti with the same necklace that Gramma Tala presents to Moana in the film. New for Fall 2017 is Moana’s Voyager Outfit from the end of the film.

A new Moana baby doll will also be released just in time for the next holiday season. Giggling Baby Moana laughs when kids put her in water and comes with a seashell and turtle friend that she can hold. This battery operated toy is sure to make bath time lots of fun for young Moana fans.

Elena of Avalor

Two new Elena of Avalor dolls will debut this fall. The Royal Ball Gown doll (displayed in the box) features her crown and regal dress. But the Action & Adventure Doll (displayed out of the box) offers more opportunities for creativity. Elena’s arms are articulated, allowing her to hold her sword or hold the hem of her dress. This battery operated doll also talks and sings, with 20 phrases and 3 songs, including “My Time.”

Kids can already dress up as Elena with two dresses from Jakks Pacific. Her Adventure Dress is pictured here, and a light-up Royal Ball Gown is also available along with accessory sets that include shoes and jewelry. Also pictured here is the forthcoming Elena of Avalor Action Adventure Sword. This battery operated toy features motion activated effects, with light-up elements and sounds that react to your playtime. It also includes phrases of dialogue from the hit Disney Channel series. Other products debuting next fall include a ponytail hair set and an Enchanted Jewelry Box.

 

Whisker Haven Palace Pets

Welcome to Whisker Have, home of the Palace Pets. These characters have been around for a few years now and seem to be steadily growing in popularity, with an animated web series and book collection in addition to the toy line. New this year are blind bag Pop and Stick Mini Surprise Figures. These mystery figures feature a suction cup that helps keep them in place, so kids can bring them wherever they go and securely place them where they won’t get lost. There are 24 characters to collect in this series. Also new this spring are Glitzy Glitter Pets, sparkly figures with fun accessories.

In addition the the Glitzy Glitter line, the Palace Pets are getting ready to take a Pawcation. This collection features color-changing effects and each pet comes with a shaped sponge and towel. The sunscreen bottle can be filled with water and features a spray top so kids can easily mist their pets. When water is applied, each pet’s fur changes to reveal a swimsuit. But where will your pet’s vacation to?

Two new play sets allow kids to take their Palace Pets on a dream Pawcation they’ll never forget. The S.S. Pawcation Royal Yacht is already available and comes with the exclusive Otto figure, one of Ariel’s friends. Later this year, the Pawcation Royal Camper will allow the Palace Pets to take a deluxe camping trip, which comes with Aurora’s pet squirrel, Chipper.

My favorite part of the new Palace Pets collection has to be the Glitz & Style figures, coming this Fall. Each pet comes with two wigs, which can be styled and swapped between pets. I really dig the Tina Turner turquoise look that Sultan is rocking in this display. You nailed it, Sultan!

Frozen

Frozen recently debuted the “Northern Lights” collection of books and the Lego short animated series. Keeping with the theme of that collection, Jakks Pacific has the new Northern Lights Elsa doll, with an interactive snowflake. A magic wand allows kids to interact with both pieces, and the snowflake can be used to project the Northern Lights on Elsa’s dress. The doll itself sings “Let It Go,” lights up, and says 40 phrases. Jakks Pacific also teased that they are working on some products to tie into Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, a new TV special airing this winter.
