Collectible robots · Toy finish on electronics
Collectible robot OEM — a desk robot your buyers inspect like a figure
A screen-face robot judged by figure-collector standards: panel lines and texture in the tooling, prints that register on curves, paints sprayed to a limit sample, and unit-by-unit inspection before boxing. Developed on an electronics platform that already ships.
Who usually comes to us
Designer toy brands going electronic
You have a figure line and a collector audience; the next product has a screen, a speaker and a battery. The electronics are the part you cannot art-direct — until the shell is specified like a paint master.
IP holders licensing a robot
The licence review will judge the sample, not the deck. Expression sets authored to the character bible, colours matched to the guide, packaging the licensor can approve in one pass.
Blind-box operators adding a "grail" tier
A screen-face robot as the top tier of a series: limited, numbered, finished above the plastic tier. Small multi-batch runs matched to drop calendars.
Retail exclusives and channel editions
Store-exclusive colourways and anniversary editions on a proven platform: new exterior tooling, reused electronics, colour codes and batch records per run.
Reference designs
Reference designs, shown for illustration. Each project is customised to your brand: the shell, the colourway and the feature set are all yours to change.
What makes a robot collectible-grade
Tooling texture, not spray-on texture
Panel lines, engraving and surface grain are cut into the mould, so the finish is part of the part — it survives handling, and every unit inherits it for free.
Prints that register on curves
Pad printing and decals are engineered around the parting line and the curvature: artwork split across surfaces, fixtures per shell, registration checked unit by unit.
Paint with test numbers
Metallic, pearlescent and rubber-touch paints are specified with rub and alcohol tests, and sprayed against a signed limit sample — so edition one and edition one thousand match.
Light as a design material
LED accents and light piping through plated or transparent parts are planned at ID stage: where the light escapes, how it breathes, and how it looks in a dark showroom.
Unit-by-unit inspection
Collectible AQL, tightened: print registration, paint, light seals and screen dead pixels checked on every unit before boxing — the buyer’s unboxing standard, applied on the line.
Electronics that stay invisible
Sleep behaviour, screen brightness at night, speaker quality behind a shell — the engineering that decides whether the piece feels inhabited on a shelf when it is doing nothing.

Two ways to develop with us
OEM on a production shell
A screen-face shell already in production and not committed exclusively to another channel: your colours, print set, voice and packaging, with the proven electronics untouched. The fast way to test a channel.
Best for: channel editions and first tests of the category
ODM: new collectible shell, proven core
A new exterior moulded and finished to your design on an electronics platform that already ships: your sculpture language, your editions, your box — none of the board-level risk. New appearance is project development; the core is not.
Best for: original collectible robots under your own brand or IP

Questions buyers ask
Is Evaoem affiliated with Evangelion or khara?
No. Evaoem is an independent Shenzhen manufacturer with no connection to Evangelion (© khara) or its licence holders. We build original robots for your own IP — mecha-styled pieces are one developable direction — and we do not reproduce protected designs or trade dress.
Can you match the finish of a figure we already make?
Bring the figure. Mould texture and panel lines are specified from it into the tooling, paints are matched against it as the limit sample, and the inspection standard is written from how you would inspect it.
Do you hold CE / FCC / EN71 certificates?
We do not publish certificates we cannot show. Products are designed to the standards of your target market, certification is applied for by the client or jointly, and we support the testing throughout — including toy standards such as EN71 and ASTM F963 where they apply.
Where is production?
We are an engineering and programme team in Shenzhen; assembly runs on partner lines in the same region. The specific line is named before an order is placed, and a factory visit can be arranged.
Tell us what you want to build
The category, your market, a quantity and whether an IP is involved is plenty for a first answer. Samples available; proven products are available as OEM, custom ones as ODM. Development and sample arrangements are agreed together once we understand the project.
