THE ETHYR

"There are two parts to creation, to what we are… conceptualization and consummation, both fired by inspiration. The best part, the essence, of what we do exists in The Ethyr... The vein, once tapped, is forever changed."

COLLECTIBLES: O'BABYBOT Toys, Educational Games and Children's Books

"O'babybots"... based on O'bots created by Onjena and produced by Carbon-Fibre Media and Gold Mane Entertainment, will soon become a line of collectible toys! Below is a sneak preview of our 2-inch prototype!  

A series of children's books and educational games are also in the works for the O'babybots. The first book, "Re-cyclin'" tells a story about Yobo and his first bicycle... a rusty classic given to him by his father as a reward for winning an art contest. Recyclin' was written by Onjena. Stay tuned for the release!

Many of the O'babybot character designs and personalities were based on the children of close family and friends... each having a unique perspective and multiple stories to share. Here are just a few of them:

Mogo is the youngest of four siblings, who loooves to dance and eat. Her sidekick is Crumple, the hippo who is always hungry. This makes them the best of friends.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next is Opso, a science geek who is obsessed with construction projects and all things related to the stars and planets. She is very competitive but quite absent-minded, so her trusty sidekick, Epo, the ladybug, comes to her rescue more often than Opso would care to admit... that is, if she could actually remember... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Popo is an undercover mathematical and musical genius, and very few know his secret. His best friend is Rawr, a three-legged dinosaur who is his primary confidant, after his brother and sisters, of course. Popo's and Rawr's dedication to righting the wrongs of the world border on superhero-esque.

Many ask how Rawr came to have three legs... he was born that way!

 

 

 

 

 

Yobo is the eldest of his siblings, Mogo, Opso and Popo. He is also an artist who loves to paint, sculpt and create costumes for his family and friends.

His favorite holiday is Hallo'ween.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nom Yum, like her best friend, Mogo, looooves to eat, but she has one problem... allergies! She spends a lot of time in the kitchen experimenting with natural treats that are safe for her and her baby sister, Jo, to eat. Nom Yum and Jo are both vegetarians. They adopted Free, a cow from a local farm and have been inseparable ever since. To learn about Nom Yum's food adventures, visit her blog, Nom Yum & Free.

 

 

 

 

 

Although Bolly is fluent in four languages, English, Hindi, Arabic and Sign, she rarely speaks as she is very shy. She loves to read, play board games and rescue stray animals.

Her best friend is Opso.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New friends are always moving into O'ville...

Other family members and neighbors include Hero'bots and Geo'bots who help guide the O'babybots on their paths to enlightenment. It takes O'village to raise a child...or an O'babybot.

For those planning baby showers, either live or virtual, check out interactive YouTube games Baby Word Scramble 1.0 or Nursery Rhyme Rhetoric 1.0, hosted by the O'babybots. The next game to be released will be for both mommies and babies...

Thanks for reading!

Carbon-Fibre Media's onjena and GoldMane Entertainment have partnered up on the development of a line of toy robots called O'BOTs. Rumor has it, O'BOTs are half robot... half...  

Currently, there are plans for at least three lines of O'BOTs... Geo'bots, Hero'bots & O'babybots. 

GEO'BOTS

Where in the world are robots not loved? Especially robots that adopt the style and swag of a culture, a region or a school...

O'BABYBOTS

Four brothers and sisters make up the primary O'babybots who interact with other family members and friends as they learn and grow together. Several childrens' stories are in the works starring Yobo, Popo, Opso and Mogo and their sidekicks, Deeogee, Rawr, Epo and Crumple.

The O'babybots make their first YouTube debut in a "virtual baby shower" game... Baby Word Scramble. The soundtrack was from the Henny Float album of Asen James of Focomoto. The game can also be downloaded from our Facebook page. 

Here's a sneak peek of an early prototype of the O'BOT.  

O'BOT designs are available on apparel and gifts for the home and office. DIYs will be available too so you can customize your O'BOT to fit your botitude. 

You can see all our O'BOT designs on our showcase.

A very special thank you to GreyEric Nocella, Steve, Kilroy III, Chuck Collins, Nelson XOgi Gogi, T.J.Kimbobot and Nom Yum... for... well... you know...

Stay tuned...
