Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principal Industry	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. Going Concern and 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, it is extremely challenging for the Company to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity for fiscal year 2020. March year-to-date syndicated market data for the United States shows a number of manufacturers’ sell-through at retail substantially up, and others down, vs. prior year. How long these trends continue, and whether they represent a pulling forward of future sales or a deferment of intended sales remains to be seen. Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, it is likely the pandemic will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s sales expectations for fiscal year 2020. The Company has embarked upon cost mitigating efforts. In mid-March 2020, the Company began migrating to a work-from-home model in compliance with local guidance. In early April 2020, the Company began to reassess its revenue and expense projections for the year in an attempt to anticipate decreases in customer and consumer demand based on the uncertainty associated with the economic impact of the pandemic. In parallel, the Company began a review of worldwide spending to identify both short-term and long-term cost savings measures to preserve both profitability and liquidity in light of the potential for decreased product demand. By late April 2020, the Company had identified new revenue and spending objectives for the year 2020 and synchronized those expectations across the senior leadership team. It is the Company’s intention to carefully monitor the pandemic’s impact across markets, channels and customers and strike the right balance of pursuing opportunity while minimizing risk to the Company’s long-term health. 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. 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. The Company has applied for funds under the Paycheck Protection Program after the period end in the amount of $10.0 million. The application for these funds requires 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 requires 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 receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on its future adherence to the forgiveness criteria. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, the Company held cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $58.2 million and $66.3 million, respectively. Cash, and cash equivalents, including restricted cash held outside of the United States in various foreign subsidiaries totaled $33.9 million and $27.0 million as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 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, 2019. The Company’s primary sources of working capital are cash flows from operations and borrowings under its credit facility (see Note 11 - Credit Facilities). 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, (3) the highly competitive conditions existing in the toy industry, (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. Given the conditions in the toy industry environment in general, vendors, including licensors, may seek further assurances or take actions to protect against non-payment of amounts due to them. Changes in this area could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s liquidity. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has substantial indebtedness including $134.8 million of outstanding indebtedness under a First Lien Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement (the “New Term Loan Agreement”). As of December 31, 2019, the Company has no outstanding indebtedness under an amended and extended Credit Agreement (the “Amended ABL Credit Agreement” or “Amended Wells Fargo Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). The New Term Loan Agreement and Amended ABL 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 their 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. Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020, the Company is also required to maintain a minimum Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA") of not less than $34.0 million over the previous twelve months and a minimum liquidity of not less than $10.0 million. The New Term Loan Agreement contains events of default that are customary for a facility of this nature, 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 was in compliance with the financial covenants under the New Term Loan Agreement as of December 31, 2019. Given the current uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussed further in Note 23—Subsequent Event, there can be no assurance as to our ability to achieve the minimum EBITDA threshold required under the New Term Loan Agreement. Failure to satisfy such requirement would constitute an event of default under the New Term Loan Agreement and Amended ABL Credit Agreement unless the lenders agree to waive compliance with such requirement. The Company’s ability to fund operations and retire debt when due is dependent on a number of factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control and/or inherently difficult to estimate, including the Company's future operating performance and the factors mentioned above, among other risks and uncertainties. To the extent the Company is unable to fund its operations or retire debt when due, no assurances can be given that the Company will have the financial resources required to obtain, or that the conditions of the capital markets will support, any future debt or equity financings, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The Company plans to negotiate waivers or obtain other accommodations to the satisfaction of its existing lenders, inclusive of Wells Fargo, the Term Loan group and the Company’s unsecured creditors. Although the lenders under the existing credit facilities may waive such covenants or provide other accommodations in event of default, they are not obligated to do so. The Company cannot make any assurances regarding the likelihood or certainty in being successful in obtaining these waivers in the event the Company is unable to achieve the minimum EBITDA threshold. Failure to obtain such a waiver would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2019 are being 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. They do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern.
