Roller skating remains one of the most popular pastimes which has been brought to the forefront by social media trends. The Rock n’ Rollerskate dolls by JAKKS Pacific (NASDAQ: JAKK) gives kids another opportunity to get in on the roller skating fun when not at the rink. Rainbow Riley and Lightning Luna are operated by a remote control that allows the doll to roller skate forward, backward, in 360 spins and do the splits all while the wheels light up in multiple exciting colors. Music is included in the remote control letting kids toggle through two different songs while skating.

Children learn early the benefits of staying healthy and in good physical condition. Enjoyment is the key ingredient to every sport or exercise program, especially for kids – and roller skating is fun for ALL ages!

Parents who wish to sign their children up to the program can visit www.kidsskatefree.com to get started. Passes are delivered weekly through the MyHownd app. Approximately 200 roller skating centers throughout the country currently participate in the program. In 2018, we reached a milestone of registering one million children to the program.

“The roller skating trend has been wildly popular online and across multiple channels on social media. We are excited to bring our Rock N Rollerskate dolls to kids and parents for early holiday shopping. It’s the perfect gift for any kid that likes roller skating or loves watching it on TikTok,” said Jeremy Sueper, Sr. Director of Marketing at JAKKS Pacific. “These dolls are sure to bring hours of joy and entertainment this holiday.” Rock N Rollerskate dolls can be found at retailers now for $39.99.
