Demonic Toys

Jack Attack first appears when he and the other toys attack Guy Hesse.
Hesse, who's dying, sees a spot of light shining from the ceiling to the floor. Hesse crawls over to the light and rests. But as he bleeds on the ground, the toys that are around him begin to come to life. He gets bitten in the neck by Jack Attack, has his fingers bitten off by Grizzly Teddy, and is shot in the chest by Mr. Static

Jack Attack appears next when the toys attack Charneski. On his way back from calling the police, Grizzly Teddy hits him in the leg with a bat, causing him to trip, and lose his gun. The gun lands in the hands of Baby Oopsy Daisy, who shoots Charneski in the leg. Jack Attack wraps his tail around Charneski's neck to strangle him while Grizzly Teddy bites him and Baby Oopsy Daisy stabs him in the crotch with a knife, with Mark and Judith watching in horror.

Jack makes one more appearance in the film when he attacks Mark and Anne. Mark and Anne finally reach the security office, only to find the entire place trashed. They are attacked by Mr. Static and Baby Oopsy Daisy, until Mark uses bug spray and lighter as a flame-thrower, and burns Baby Oopsy Daisy and Mr. Static. Jack Attack attacks and bites Anne in the neck, but Mark pulls him off and takes the biting. Mark finally gets Jack Attack off his neck, and shoots his head off with a shotgun Charneski had in his locker.

Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys

Jack Attack appears in Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys. In this film, his look is altered. This is do to the fact that neither Charles Band nor Full Moon had anything to do with the movie.

Personal Demons

Several years after the original, the pieces of the toys remain in the warehouse. A pair of gloved hands picks up the pieces and starts stitching up the toys. The only toys the perpetrator could fix correctly were Baby Oopsy Daisy and Jack Attack. The unidentified man then puts the toys in a crate, and is handed over a suitcase full of cash. The other man who gave the money to the perpetrator then leaves with the toys.

Divoletto walks around the castle and finds Baby Oopsy Daisy and Jack Attack. He touches them, his source of life goes through them, and the demonic toys come back to life. Baby Oopsie Daisy welcomes Divoletto to the club and quickly the trio become friends. When Dr. Lorca leaves to go get Lauraline food, it's revealed that Lauraline and Eric are lovers who have brought a replica of Divoletto to the castle to steal the real one, runaway together and make a fortune. Eric is also the one who took away their cars. Eric leaves to go replace Divoletto, and he finds the real toy gone. Eric then sees Divoletto walking around and finds himself locked in the dining room. As he tries to escape, Baby Oopsy Daisy stabs him in the foot with a kitchen knife and Jack Attack pops out of his box and slashes Eric's throat with his tail. Everyone in the castle hears Eric's screams, but David confirms to Caitlin and Mr. Butterfield that it's Eric having sex with Lauraline.

Later Jack Attack enters Mr Butterfield's room and forces him to jump out of bed which causesthe swords on the wall to come down on him, slicing his head off.

The spirit tells them to leave the castle in peace, but take nothing or there will be consequences. Meanwhile, Lauraline sneaks off to find Eric. She goes into the dining room and finds the doll missing from its box, but also finds some jewels and diamonds in the side table drawers. She then cranks Jack Attack's box up, popping him out and he bites her neck. Meanwhile, the spirit of Fiora disappears and Lilith returns to normal, and tells them that the Divoletto doll they have right now is a replica. Baby Oopsy Daisy appears and stabs David in the arm. Dr. Lorca pulls out a small gun hidden in his coat and shoots at Baby Oopsy Daisy. Dr. Lorca then continues to threatens to kill Caitlin if Divoletto is really a replica. David then punches Dr. Lorca in the face and steals his gun. Lilith, David and Caitlin runoff to escape and they run into Lauraline, who survived her attack by Jack Attack. Lauraline grabs the gun off of David and points it at Caitlin, since she's the one who brought them into the castle. David and Lauraline fight over the gun and Lauraline screams she's going to kill him the same way she killed David's father. The gun then goes off and hits Lauraline in the chest, killing her. Dr. Lorca runs in on them and scares them away, and mourns over Lauraline's body. The trio run into the physicians room and head down the staircase. Dr. Lorca grabs a hatchet lying in the hallway and runs into the room, when suddenly Baby Oopsie Daisy jumps on his back and stabs him in the skull, fulfilling Lillith's vision. Meanwhile, David, Lilith and Caitlin run to the Prodigium Abyssus, where Divoletto jumps on Lilith, and the spirit of Fiora possesses her and throws him off her.

David then smashes Divoletto's head with a shovel, but it's revealed that Divoletto was one of Fiora's personal Demons. The Demon then sucks Fiora's spirit out of Lillith and brings her through the portal back to Hell. The Demonic Toys then attack them and David cuts their heads off
