Meet Zing Stikbots: Creative Stop Motion Fun for Curious Creators
Zing Stikbots open a doorway to playful storytelling with four clear, poseable figures that move with fully articulating joints. Each figure features suction cup feet that cling to smooth surfaces, letting kids stage scenes on a tabletop, a window ledge, or a glossy counter. The included tripod with non-slip feet stabilizes your filming setup, so scenes stay steady as you capture each frame. This kit is designed to feel like a tiny movie studio in your hands, inviting kids to explore motion, balance, and character dynamics as they imagine new adventures.
Inside the set you’ll find four distinct characters in lime green, blue, transparent, and sparkle pink. The color variety makes it easy to assign roles, create contrast, and quickly switch between characters mid-scene. The clear figures also provide a great opportunity to layer lighting and backgrounds, adding depth to your stop-motion projects without needing additional props.
What’s Included and How It Helps
- Four clear Stikbot figures (lime green, blue, transparent, sparkle pink) with fully articulating joints and suction cup feet
- One mobile phone tripod with non-slip feet that fits most smartphones

The Stikbots pair with the free Stikbot Studio 2.0 app, which guides aspiring filmmakers through stop-motion workflows, from scripting and posing to capturing frames and editing.

Educational value is a notable part of this kit. The Stikbot line carries official STEAM Toys accreditation from Dr. Gummer’s Good Play Guide, signaling a thoughtful blend of creativity and critical thinking. Kids can practice planning stories, directing action, and refining scenes, while parents can watch confidence grow as narratives take shape on screen.
