SynaCorp was an American toy manufacturing and entertainment company, originally founded in Albany by Nathan Sybel. It was best known for its electronic robotic toys such as the Fluffatron and Syber the Robotic Dog, as well as their handheld electronic games. Although mainly based in the United States, SynaCorp expanded its operations globally, establishing a significant presence in international markets.

Origins
In 1978, Businessman Nathan Sybel established SynaCorp. Not much is known about their early years, but it's thought that they originated as a small-scale enterprise with a focus on electronics.

Their first documented endeavor was Syber the Robotic Dog. It was released in 1983, making it one of the first robopet toys. It was a rudimentary toy, its lines stored on an 8-track cartridge located within its chest cavity. However, Syber the Robotic Dog would prove to be a vital stepping stone in SynaCorp's rise to power.

The "Fluffatron Boom" of 1995
In March 1995, SynaCorp released the first model of the Fluffatron, an electronic robotic toy, not dissimilar to the previous Syber the Robotic Dog in concept, but very different in design. Over 50 million models were sold and were localized into 20 languages.

Synacorp was propelled into the spotlight. Due to this shift, the decision was made to stop producing their previous line, Syber the Robotic Dog, and instead put more emphasis on the Fluffatron.

Various companies tried to imitate the Fluffatron, with varying levels of success. One of these examples was the Furby, released in 1997 by Tiger Electronics.

Merger with Nostromnia Inc.
Although the Fluffatron Boom led to the company's success, it also caused strain on the company. To maintain their newfound status, they agreed to merge with Nostromina Inc., a multinational conglomerate specializing in technology and entertainment. SynaCorp officially became a subsidiary of Nostromina Inc. in late 1999.

Discontinuation
Despite its initial success, SynaCorp faced financial problems at the start of the new millennium. Sales of their toys began to fall, as the Fluffatron slowly began to fall into obscurity. Their last endeavor, a series of minifigures known as Robot Buddies, was released in 2001 and was seen by many as a commercial failure.

In January 2002, the company officially filed for bankruptcy.
