Collectible-grade toy electronics · OEM / ODM · Shenzhen
Toy-grade surfaces, electronic insides
A screen-face robot is easy to source. One that a collector turns over in their hands — checking the panel lines, the print registration, the seam where a plated part meets matte shell — is a tooling, finishing and inspection problem before it is an electronics one. We put toy-industry surface craft onto electronic products: textured moulds, pad printing, metallic and rubber paints, light piping, and unit-by-unit inspection tightened to collectible expectations.

The gap between a gadget and a collectible
Consumer electronics are finished for a distance of half a metre and a lifespan of two years. Collectibles are inspected at arm’s length, under a desk lamp, by someone who knows what a bad panel line looks like — and kept for a decade. Same display, same speaker, different tolerances: mould texture instead of gloss, colour matched across batches, a paint spec with rub-test numbers, packaging that opens like part of the product. That gap is not caught by a gadget-grade AQL; it has to be designed in, which is the work we do.
Development directions
Five directions, one finish standard
A robot that gestures on the desk, a companion that rides the dash, a display toy with animated eyes, a theme-edition series, or electronics inside plush and vinyl — the form changes, the expectation does not: it has to survive being judged as a collectible.
Gesture Desk Robot
Head turns, arms gesture — motion tuned for a desk
In-Car Companion Robot
A character that rides on the dash and talks on the road
Expressive-Eyes Display Toy
Dual LCD eyes, an emotion engine, collectible finishing
Theme-Edition Screen Robots
Zodiac and seasonal limited editions on a proven platform
Designer Plush Electronic Core
Voice, sensing and lights inside plush and vinyl
Screen-face shells in production
These are the assemblies already in volume production, photographed as they ship. Zodiac and seasonal editions run on the same platforms — the finish and the box change, the electronics do not.
Full-stack development
All of it, or just one piece — your call
From the outside shape to the server, all six pieces live in our own team. Hand us the whole product, or pick only the pieces you are missing — say you own the IP and the app, and we build the hardware and firmware.
Industrial design
Characters, plush and collectible forms, CMF — the look that makes people want to hold it.
Mechanical design
Servo, turntable and clamp mechanisms, plush skeletons and battery bays, tooling to pilot run.
Hardware design
Main SoC and mic arrays, motor drivers, NFC / radar / PPG sensing, 4G and Wi-Fi.
Embedded software
Offline wake word, sound-source turning, expression and motion engine, dialogue pipeline, OTA.
App & mini program
iOS and Android apps for global markets, WeChat mini programs for China — setup, content, social play.
Server side
Agent and LLM integration, cloud orchestration of device behaviour, content and user back office.
Platforms
Bring the AI stack your market needs
Our firmware is decoupled from any single provider. Depending on where you sell, your data-residency rules and your budget, we connect the device to the right LLM, speech and IoT cloud. These are the kinds of services we have integrated.
For China
- Baidu AI Cloud Solution sales partner Cloud AI and voice services
- Mainstream Chinese LLMs Several to choose from, per project
- Speech recognition & synthesis Major speech engines
- IoT provisioning & branded app Device setup and app under your brand
- Audio / video storage & delivery Audio / video cloud for content
For global markets
- Leading overseas LLMs Chosen per market and language
- Realtime voice dialogue Realtime voice models
- Neural speech synthesis Speech recognition and natural voices
- Device connectivity & fleet management Connect and manage devices at scale
- EU / US data hosting Data kept in the region you sell in

Why toy brands bring their electronics here
- 01
🎨 Finish is engineered, not decorated
Panel lines cut into the tooling, paint that survives a rub test, prints that register across a curved surface — surface craft specified like any other engineering requirement.
- 02
📦 Editions without BOM chaos
Limited colourways planned at the BOM level: sprayed parts versus moulded-in colour, packaging versions, batch records — so edition three does not break edition two.
- 03
🔍 Inspected like a figure, not a gadget
Collectible AQL, tightened; every unit checked for print, paint, light seals and dead pixels. The standard the buyer applies on unboxing is the one we apply on the line. Quantity and price quoted per project.
Show us the character, not just the circuit
A sketch or sculpt of your character, the edition plan behind it, and how you sell — with those three we can spec the shell finish, the electronics platform and the inspection level, and tell you where a collectible grade will actually cost you.
Before you brief a collectible electronics build
- Can you make the surface finish match our figure line?
- Yes — that is the point of the site. Mould texture and panel lines are cut into the tooling; pad printing and decals carry fine marks; metallic, pearlescent and rubber paints are sprayed to a signed limit sample. Bring a figure you consider the standard and we spec the electronics shell against it.
- Do you take on small limited runs?
- Yes, and the economics are built for it: a proven electronics platform with new exterior tooling keeps each edition affordable, and repeated small batches with colour codes and batch records let a series sell across a year. Quantities are quoted per project.
- Is Evaoem affiliated with Evangelion or khara?
- No. Evaoem is an independent manufacturer in Shenzhen and has no connection with Evangelion (© khara) or its licence holders. The domain name is our own. We build original robots and toy electronics — including mecha-styled pieces as one developable direction — for your own IP, and we do not reproduce protected designs or trade dress.
