🎉 StikBot is 10 Years Old! 🎉

A whole decade of creativity, imagination and movie-making magic!

One of the world’s first social-sharing toys, StikBot revolutionised play by combining physical figures with digital storytelling. With its dedicated stop-frame animation app, kids can create, edit and share their very own movies.

Pause your StikBot in countless poses, build epic scenes, and bring stories to life frame by frame.

Here’s to 10 years of inspiring the next generation of creators — and many more to come! 🎬✨

We are delighted to share some exciting news — our new Zing Pop Rocketz has been recognised in this year’s Outdoor Toy Awards! 🚀🎉

This air-powered rocket toy is perfect for on-the-go fun — easy to pack for holidays or park trips, and incredibly simple to launch. Just pop a soft foam rocket into the launch tube, give it a good squeeze, and watch it soar up to 50 feet into the sky!

We’re thrilled that both the expert toy testers and our toughest critics — the kids themselves — had a blast trying them out. Thank you to the Outdoor Toy Awards for celebrating play that takes children outside, sparks imagination, and keeps them active.  Read all about it here as published in Toy World.
