Nature of Operations [Text Block]	Note 1—Principal Industry JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in the development, production and marketing of consumer products, including toys and related products, electronic products, and other consumer products, many of which are based on highly-recognized character and entertainment licenses. The Company commenced its primary business operations in July 1995 through the purchase of substantially all of the assets of a Hong Kong toy company. The Company markets its product lines domestically and internationally. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in January 1995. Liquidity On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and the resulting impact on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is unable to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity for fiscal years 2021 and 2022. In mid-March 2020, the Company began migrating to a work-from-home model in compliance with local guidance. The Company continues to operate under that model as of the date of this filing. On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer-side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. On December 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (“CAA”), which includes many tax and health components, as well as CARES Act extensions and modifications. The Company continues to monitor and explore any relevant government assistance programs that could support either cash liquidity or operating results in the short-medium term. As of the filing of this document, the Company continues to have no draw down on its credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), aside from utilizing $10.8 million in Letters of Credit. On June 12, 2020, the Company received a $6.2 million loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) within the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan matures on June 2, 2022 and is subject to the CARES Act terms which include, among other terms, an interest rate of 1.00% per annum and monthly installment payments of $261,275 commencing on September 27, 2021. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The PPP Loan is subject to events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The application for the loan required the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further required the Company to take into account its current business activity and its ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The PPP Loan may be forgiven, partially or in full, if certain conditions are met, principally based on having been disbursed for permissible purposes and maintaining certain average levels of employment and payroll as required by the CARES Act. The forgiveness of the loan is also dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan. It remains the Company’s intention to file for forgiveness of this loan. In the absence of knowing whether any funds will be forgiven and how the program may change as the year continues, the Company accounts for the note as debt under ASC 470 and has reflected $0.9 million as short term debt and $5.3 million as long term debt on its balance sheet related to this loan. On April 23, 2020, the Small Business Administration issued new guidance that questioned whether a public company with substantial market value and access to capital markets would qualify to participate in the Paycheck Protection Program. Subsequently, on April 28, 2020 the Secretary of the Treasury and Small Business Administrator announced that the government will review all PPP loans of more than $2.0 million for which the borrower applies for forgiveness. If the Company were to be audited and receive an adverse finding in such audit, the Company could be required to return the full amount of the PPP Loan, which could reduce its liquidity, and potentially subject it to fines and penalties. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company held cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $92.7 million and $66.3 million, respectively. Cash, and cash equivalents, including restricted cash held outside of the United States in various foreign subsidiaries totaled $48.7 million and $27.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash balances in the Company's foreign subsidiaries have either been fully taxed in the U.S. or tax has been accounted for in connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or may be eligible for a full foreign dividends received deduction under such Act, and thus would not be subject to additional U.S. tax should such amounts be repatriated in the form of dividends or deemed distributions. Any such repatriation may result in foreign withholding taxes, which the Company expects would not be significant as of December 31, 2020. The Company’s primary sources of working capital are cash flows from operations and borrowings under its credit facility (see Note 11 - Credit Facilities). Cash flow from operating activities provided net cash of $43.6 million in 2020. Typically, cash flows from operations are impacted by the effect on sales of (1) the appeal of the Company’s products, (2) the success of its licensed brands in motivating consumer purchase of related merchandise, (3) the highly competitive conditions existing in the toy industry and in securing commercially-attractive licenses, (4) dependency on a limited set of large customers, and (5) general economic conditions. A downturn in any single factor or a combination of factors could have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to operate the business. In addition, the Company’s business and liquidity are dependent to a significant degree on its vendors and their financial health, as well as the ability to accurately forecast the demand for products. The loss of a key vendor, or material changes in support by them, or a significant variance in actual demand compared to the forecast, can have a material adverse impact on the Company’s cash flows and business. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $124.5 million (including $4.7 million in payment-in-kind interest) of outstanding indebtedness under a First Lien Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement (the “New Term Loan Agreement”) and no outstanding indebtedness under its amended and extended Credit Agreement (the “Amended ABL Credit Agreement” or “Amended Wells Fargo Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo. The Company also had the aforementioned PPP Loan of $6.2 million secured under the CARES Act program. The New Term Loan Agreement and Amended ABL Credit Agreement each contain negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, pledge assets as security, make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, undergo fundamental changes and enter into transactions with affiliates, as well as cross-default provisions. The Company secured the appropriate waivers from both parties before receiving the proceeds of the PPP Loan. The original terms of the New Term Loan Agreement required the Company to maintain a trailing 12-month Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) (as defined and adjusted therein) of not less than $34.0 million and a minimum liquidity of not less than $10.0 million commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020. On October 16, 2020, the Company reached an agreement (the “Amendment”) with holders of its New Term Loan and Wells Fargo, holder of its revolving credit facility, to amend the New Term Loan Agreement and defer its EBITDA covenant calculation until March 31, 2022. Under the Amendment, the trailing 12-month EBITDA requirement was reduced to $25.0 million, which will not be calculated earlier than March 31, 2022. The Amendment also required the Company to pre-pay $15.0 million of the New Term Loan immediately and, under certain conditions, pre-pay up to an additional $5.0 million no later than the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has classified $5.0 million as short term debt. In connection with the amendment on October 20, 2020, the Company paid $15.0 million of its outstanding principal amount and $0.3 million in related interest and PIK interest. The New Term Loan Agreement contains events of default, including nonpayment of principal, nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of covenants, cross-default to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy or insolvency events, material judgment defaults and a change of control as specified in the New Term Loan Agreement, and cross-default provisions with the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Agreement. If an event of default occurs under either Agreement, the maturity of the amounts owed under the New Term Loan Agreement and the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Agreement may be accelerated. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, projected cash flow from operations, and borrowings under the Company’s credit facility are sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months.
