Plush and electronics must be developed together
The character construction must accommodate the module, speaker, controls, power source, wiring and any movement mechanism. Access for assembly, battery service and product testing should be planned before the sample is approved.
OEM and ODM customization
- Character shape, size, color, fabric and surface decoration
- Audio content and interaction sequence
- Trigger position and user-control layout
- Module, speaker, power and movement configuration after technical review
- Logo, labels, instructions and retail packaging
Buyer considerations before sampling
Define the intended user, interaction flow, acceptable sound level, battery access, cleaning expectations, drop or squeeze exposure, destination market and required labeling. These inputs affect the plush pattern, module placement and test plan.
Frequently asked sourcing questions
Can one plush toy combine sound, touch and movement?
Potentially, yes. The functions must be reviewed together because space, power, controls, construction and cost are interdependent.
Can EmotiToy work from character artwork?
Yes. Artwork, sketches, dimensions and brand guidelines can be reviewed as the starting point for a custom plush and electronics project.
Are sound modules removable?
That depends on the construction and service requirements. Removability, battery access and closure design should be specified before sampling.
How is production timing set?
A schedule is provided after the character, functions, revisions, quantity and packaging scope are reviewed.
