EXCITING NEW FEATURES ADD COLOR TO THE DOODLE BEAR® LINE

Play Along® Introduces New ‘First Ever’ Items to the Activity Plush Category

Deerfield Beach, FL – Play Along®, a division of JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (Nasdaq:JAKK), is debuting exciting new brand extensions to their Doodle Bear® line for the 2007 holiday season. Doodle Bear is the brand of activity plush that develops creative imagination through self-expression. The brand’s unique combination of fun activity and washable plush has earned kid approval…and mom’s trust!

The perfect holiday gift for children of all ages is the Magic Airbrush Doodle Bear®, the first and only plush to come with a real, motorized airbrush! This new feature takes doodling fun to a whole new level! It works by placing a stencil in the stencil holder (no messy hands!), pressing it against the bear, and using the airbrush to magically create beautiful designs. Kids can also opt to skip the stencils and just use the airbrush to draw freehand…or they can even use the special airbrush-cartridge markers just like regular markers!  Even if young artists get a bit of ink on their hands, don’t worry -- the ink washes right off! Each Doodle Bear comes with five of airbrush-cartridge markers, lots of stencils, a stencil holder, a removable t-shirt for Doodle Bear, and of course a real motorized airbrush.  Everything’s washable, so kids won’t be afraid to airbrush all over… just wash and airbrush again tomorrow!  
For Ages 3+, SRP $24.99

Color-by-number is an increasingly popular activity for kids of all ages, and this holiday season, the Doodle Bear family will also include the first ever Color-by-Number Doodle Pony™! Color-by-Number Doodle Pony is the only plush friend that girls can cuddle and love…and color by number to create a super-colorful masterpiece! With a printed color-by-number pattern and five color-by-number coded washable markers, this Doodle Pony makes designing easy and fun for even the youngest doodlers. More experienced doodlers will create their own designs – it’s OK to draw outside the lines! Like all members of the Doodle Bear family, the all-new Doodle Pony characters are completely washable for lots of color-by-number fun! For Ages 3+, SRP $14.99
