Stifkas Action Figure Fun to Put Together AND Play With

Stikfas began as a concept in a designer's sketchbook not quite 5 years ago, and the company (in Japan, where a LOT of award-winning toy manufacturers seem to be located these days!) have already garnered a LOT of market recognition, earning the 'Best Original Concept' title in Wizard's Toyfare magazine in 2002.

Stifkas For Every Child

In the world of increasingly more high-tech 'toys' that appeal to younger and younger audiences, Stifkas are simple plastic figurines (over 50 of them, each original!) which have captured the hearts of children from the U.S. to Germany and Japan.

Stifkas allow you to build your own action figure -- from a boy on a bicycle to a rock star to a windsurfer to a warrior, and many more. The Stifkas figurines are less than 4" tall, but they each have at least 30 moveable joints.

You can move them all into any poses you want. Then you can add decals or stickers, or paint or color them, and make each one completely unique! Create a play conversation, team or soldiers for war -- the only thing to stop you is imagination!

Stifkas are built with snap-together, customizable technology -- why not collect all of them, or collect any one of them in several colors, and have an 'army' to play with?

Once you've got a collection of Stifkas and you've become a "Stikfan", you can then join the online forums, send photos of your Stifkas to the gallery ("Stikfas across the globe" was introduced by the company to be an international photo gallery for stikfans' to show off their love for their toy).

The forums and gallery allow you to make connections with like minded "stikfanatics" and Stifkas owners are invited and encouraged to send photos of their Stikfas posed in front of their local landmarks.

Stifkas fans, if they really get hooked, can find lots of information online: there are Stifkas blogs, games, contests -- and even sites where you can learn, step-by-step, how to become a Stifkas 'customizer.'
