i read they are quite popular outside of singapore.
stikfas are a line of simplistic articulated plastic figures.
made in singapore!
actually made in china or some place cheaper... but the company is a singaporean owned one.

I'll have to take pictures, however our office is literallly teaming with stikfas.

glad to know stikfas is so well received in america as well.
it just boggles the mind why nobody thought of it before.

In case anyone is interested, I've found the best place to get Stikfas in the US is an online store called "YouBuyNow" (http://www.youbuynow.com/). They have about the cheapest prices, and if you subscribe to their monthly email list you will get a coupon code for anywhere between 10 to 25 per cent off any order.

I'm a total Stikfa addict.

These are pretty cool, the only thing is that they are a little bland, I guess you could make your own decals and artwork on them. But I am not good at that kind of stuff

Odd, its like action figure but minus all of the details.

The first pictures reminded me of those little army men i used to have.

Dude some of those are Awesome!!! Love the warriors that they made

I also looked at the kits on the home page and they come with decals so thats cool. I would like to mod them like the guys at paintstik.com did (but I am not that good at sculpting

)

PS dont force your stikfas religion on me pal

not everyone can get that excited by peice of plastic that snap together into robotish-human/other shapes.

Heh. Yeah, I'll try not to push the Stikfas too hard. Even if you don't use any of the decals or mod them in any way, they're fun to play with. And here I am, nearly 30 years old talking about how fun it is to play with tiny, plastic action-figures...

no, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again, sir!

You should see my collection of Star Wars Galactic Heroes toys...

That's a great Space Balls reference. *grin*

There are so many cool toys these days. I wish I had been born a few years later so I could have had all this cool stuff when I was a kid.

You called me a Heritic so I had to say something, but dude toys are cool, never lose the kid inside of you... but Star Wars toys are much cooler than these things because they have a back story to them and you can pretend to alter their situation in the movie and shit... I have Star Wars toys toy from my dad, the origanal Melenium Falcon, AT-AS ( the one with two legs), Tie fighters, Tie Bomber, x wing, y wing, b wing, the huge monster from juba's pit... I would go on but its too much and I dont like to brag

PS plus new Star Wars toys still in the boxes

Yeah, the original SW action-figures are pretty cool, but the vehicles are downright awesome. And the mythology behind the SW characters is obviously well fleshed out and incredibly cool if you're a total geek (like me).

But I much prefer to create my own mythology. I think of Stikfas as the Legos of the action figure world. They're a blank canvas. The possibilities are endless.

And with this thread, I've totally lost all my street cred...

yeah stikfas can be compared to lego.
both are so damn appealing.

both expensive also.
a basic figure costs like 4 fast food meals here.
a deluxe one costs like 16 fast food meals.
