hey! you! yeah you! look under the cut!
surprise! @suzytronics95 (in this post i will be referring to this user as “Little L”) and I (both of us are fans of Cyberchase) somewhat-collaborated and made these concept things! so basically, this whole thing started in early march. Little L had told me about the actimates toys. if you don’t know what the actimates toys WERE, they were interactive plush toys Microsoft of all companies made in the late ‘90s that (moved their head and arms while they) talked. the main gimmick of them, was that they interacted with the user and whatnot. i suggest you look them up, too. they’re cool.) anyway, i told her that i knew what those toys were. she then told me she wondered how cyberchase actimates would’ve looked. after a bit of talking, i then told her that i loved the concept (which i do!) and that i’d make my own “(di)version” of them. of which i did. basically, these are box art mockups (and out-of-box art mockups) for (extremely) interactive plush toys of matt, jackie and inez based on the microsoft actimates toys (explained what those were earlier in the post). i also put in individual descriptions for each, written by the talented Little L. also i was too lazy to draw the arts of the backs of the boxes at the time of writing this post... haha i’m lazy sometimes aren’t i~
anyway, I NOW PRESENT TO YOU, F I N E W O R K S OF ART
we will start with the obvious best cyberchase character,
Inez
"Watch as Inez comes to life! She talks to you, sings songs, tells stories by herself or with help from her pals, plays fun games, tells jokes, and even teaches you math lessons. Talk to Inez, tickle her, hug her, turn her upside down, she blushes, and even takes a nap. Inez says thousands of words, hundreds of phrases and sentences, and understands dozens of fun key words; but don't call her Nezzie." - description written by Little L
we will follow with the artworks and descriptions for...
Matt
"Watch as Matt comes to life! He talks to you, sings songs, tells stories by himself or with help from his pals, plays fun games, tells jokes, and even teaches you math lessons. Talk to Matt, tickle him, hug him, turn him upside down, he blushes, and even takes a nap. Matt says thousands of words, hundreds of phrases and sentences, and understands dozens of fun key words. He loves to laugh with his friends or you!” - description written by Little L
and last but not least, (the award for) best drama queen (goes to)....
Jackie
"Watch as Jackie comes to life! She talks to you, sings songs, tells stories by herself or with help from her pals, plays fun games, tells jokes, and even teaches you math lessons. Talk to Jackie, tickle her, hug her, turn her upside down, she blushes, and even takes a nap. Jackie says thousands of words, hundreds of phrases and sentences, and understands dozens of fun key words. She may act like a drama queen, but she seeks for adventure!” - description written by Little L
Honorable Acknowledgements
The first out-of-box artwork I drew was Jackie’s; the first in-box artwork I drew was Inez’s.
Little L has drawn box mockups of her own (for her (di)versions of the concept(s); if you want to, you could ask her about them (you can use the ask feature or Tumblr DM’s).

Thank you for looking at and reading this post! I will probably blab more about these concepts in the near future... you’ll probably see what’ll happen next as far as these concepts go. ;)
