Manufacturing reference
What this reference shows, and what you would decide.
A compact round body built around the eyes, with everything else kept deliberately simple.
The two lens bezels are the only rigid parts on the front, and they set the whole face layout: mouth, cheeks and stem all have to work around a fixed interpupillary distance. Short stub limbs and feet keep the silhouette round, which protects the sealed volume behind the face and keeps the toy stable when it is stood up. Because the body is a single colour field, a colourway change is a fabric change and nothing else.
This is the reference to point at when the brief is about expression through the eyes rather than through the sculpt. The decisions that follow are the bezel diameter and whether the eye is a lens over a display or a moulded part. Then settle how the fabric is finished at the bezel edge so it does not fray in a pull test.
Decisions this product type puts in front of you
- Where the speech is handled Decide early whether responses are held on the device or come through an app and a service. That one choice reaches the board, the memory, the privacy paperwork, the retail claims and the cost of every unit after the first thousand.
- Module and mounting The board, speaker and cell need a housed pocket inside a soft body, a cable route that survives being squeezed, and an access point an adult can open but a child cannot. Place the module before the pattern is cut, not after.
- Power and charging Choose between replaceable cells and a rechargeable pack. The choice changes the enclosure, the label artwork, the instructions and the shipping paperwork, and it is expensive to change once the sculpt is approved.
- Safety and certification Set the destination markets and the age grade first. They decide which of the toy safety, chemical and radio test routes apply to a soft toy with electronics inside it, and which of them has to be repeated when you change a fabric.
- Content and language Scripts, voice casting, recording and file naming are a project of their own. Agree the language list, who owns the recordings and how a corrected line reaches production before the first sample is built.
