ModiBot Character Design System
Imagine, Design, & Animate your own custom Creations
Build & Customize
Design is a form of play and ModiBot was designed to be a fun way to express and explore through play. The Mo figure has hundreds of compatible parts and character kits for a variety of ages and interests.
Character Design
ModiBot is a hands-on building tool, but its also designed to be a 'blank canvas' for your own creative ideas. Start with the Character Design Template and sketch up your next ModiBot creation.
Stopmotion Animation
The ModiBot system was designed to be highly-poseable and visually expressive. This combination is perfect for aspiring animators for hands-on design and storytelling projects.
3D Design & Printing
ModiBot was designed as a 3d model and originally launched as a 3D printed product. See how you can use these tools to make your own character designs or just download some pre-made designs to print for yourself at home.
DIY & Handcraft
The ModiBot figure is a perfect chassis for personalizing with common household craft materials like paper, cloth, fur, washi tape or sculpted poly-clay accents to create your own truly unique designs.
Hands-on Classroom Activities
ModiBot is a great hands-on tool for both technical and creative classroom activities. It's the perfect foundation for storytelling, drawing, photography, animation, 3d printing, or diorama projects.

I use a combination of...
Incoming! Product restock list & availability dates
The influx of new users this past 2 months has been absolutely awe-inspiring! Welcome everyone! Since things have been a bit crazy, I wanted to take a few minutes to give some perspective on product availability. Generally, summer is the slowest time of the year for me, so this huge influx from The Crafsman's awesome ModiBot video created an unexpected amount of traffic so we've been trying to keep up with demand. As many of you have seen, a large part of ModiBot system is created with 3D printing. Creating small batches of our parts has allowed us to provide a lot of variety in kits and accessories. But with the increase in traffic, that 'just-in-time' batch model is being put to the test. We're making...
