Since launching, the EyeClops® line of products from JAKKS
Pacific, Inc. (Nasdaq:JAKK) has delivered high end electronics
experiences at mass price points, resulting in a wide array of honors
and awards from industry peers, consumer media and retailers worldwide.
JAKKS Pacific plans to extend the innovation for 2009 with a whole line
of other new EyeClops products for everyone in the household,
including the EyeClops® Mini Projector, which empowers the whole
family to take their favorite media, such as movies, TV shows, music
videos, even video games, and view them almost anywhere, for a larger
than life entertainment experience.
Ever wish you could watch movies on your bedroom ceiling? Play video
games outside in a backyard tent? Project the football game on the side
of your house so the whole party can watch the big game outdoors? Now
it’s possible with the EyeClops Mini Projector, a big screen TV
experience that fits in the palm of your hand.
The EyeClops Mini Projector is pocket-sized and light weight, so
you can take it anywhere indoors, outdoors and on-the-go, and it uses
high-powered LED illumination to project movies, television shows, video
games and more up to 70 inches in size from virtually any multi-media
device: Blu-ray and DVD players, MP3 and video players, video game
consoles – including JAKKS’ own Plug It In & Play TV Games™ products –
and even digital cameras! The EyeClops Mini Projector has
built-in speakers and provides up to 10 hours of entertainment using ‘D’
batteries, or unlimited power with the included DC adapter. Ages 8+,
Suggested Retail Price: $99.99
In 2008, the EyeClops® Night Vision Goggles received multiple toy
awards, including nominations for Boys Toy of the Year and Most
Innovative Toy of the Year. For 2009 EyeClops™ Night Vision
2.0 Binoculars deliver an improved, action-styling handheld design and
the power to see with both eyes! And, of course, the new handheld Night
Vision 2.0 Binoculars allow visibility up to 50 feet in completely
dark environments. Covert operations…nocturnal maneuvers…with EyeClops
Night Vision equipment, kids rule the night! Ages 8+, Suggested
Retail Price: $59.99
Small but powerful, the new and improved EyeClops® Bionic Eye
SE
is a smaller version of the award-winning Bionic Eye. The Bionic
Eye SE is still a simple-to-use handheld device that allows kids and
adults to view everyday objects on the TV at 200 times their regular
size, but now fits in the palm of your hand! Simply plug into the AV
jacks of any standard TV for an eye popping view of the world around
you! Ages 6+, Suggested Retail Price: $39.99
"With our 2009 EyeClops line-up, we are taking consumer
electronics that are typically expensive and out of reach for most
families and bringing them to the toy aisle with fun, playable features
and at an affordable price,” said John Ardell, Senior Vice-President of
Interactive, JAKKS Pacific, Inc. "We are very sensitive to how the tough
economic environment is affecting families. With the EyeClops Mini
Projector, a high end entertainment experience is now portable and
affordable. Now families can have movie nights at home over and over for
the price of a family night out. And we have taken our popular EyeClops
Night Vision and Bionic Eye lineup and made them better and
at a lower price point.”
The new EyeClops products are expected to hit shelves at
specialty and mass retailers in Fall 2009. For more information on the
