CUTEBOTS






2007 IS SHAPING UP TO BE AN EXCITING YEAR FOR CARNIVAL CARTOONS. WE'RE REALLY GETTING INTO THE TOY SCENE. ALONG WITH THE LAUNCH OF THE SECOND FIGURE " HARRIET - THE HORRENDOUSLY HAIRY HOUSEWIFE" FROM OUR CARNEYS CONCEPT LINE OF TOYS...WE'RE HOPING TO LAUNCH ANOTHER VENTURE IN EARLY 2007.

CUTEBOTS WILL BE STANDARD SHAPED FIGURES (SIMILAR TO THE DUNNY, OR MUNNY). CUSTOM GRAPHICS WILL BE SILK SCREENED ON THE SURFACE OF THESE FIGURES. THE HOPE IS THAT WE WILL FEATURE OUR OWN CUSTOM DESIGNS, AS WELL AS THOSE OF GUEST ARTISTS (IN LIMITED RUNS).

CUTEBOTS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED OUT OF 2 PART FOAM, AND FEATURE A LIGHTWEIGHT CORE, WITH A HARD, FLAT FINISHED OUTER SHELL.

THE IMAGES ABOVE ARE SCREEN CAPTURES FROM THE 3D MODEL THAT WILL BE USED IN PRODUCTION. THE SPECS WILL BE AS INDICATED ON THE IMAGES (ALTHOUGH...THE MODEL DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THESE SPECS IT WILL BE ADJUSTED BEFORE THE MOLDING STAGE)

Joe Barbera March 24, 1911 – December 18, 2006



Another one of the great ones is gone.

Joseph Barbera died of natural causes at his home in Studio City, Los Angeles on December 18, 2006, ending a successful seventy year career in animation.

Thanks for all the inspiration Joe. Hanna Barbera Cartoons have greatly influenced my own work and will continue to do so in the future!
