After my girlfriend and I saw the Blessing of the Animals, we walked over to Chinatown to hit Munky King.
I hadn't bought anything for myself at Munky King during previous visits. The designer toys are all very cool, but almost none of them are interactive. They're more like artwork, and priced as such.
Then I saw a new addition: Stikfas. I'd seen Stikfas around in hobby stores for years, and while they piqued my interest, the basic model never grabbed me. But the Stikfas had evolved. I saw this Alpha Male with Robo-space Claws and I had to have it.
I wanted to document my first Stikfas experience, but the pictures were dark and blurry. Here are a few samples.
Ah ha. Some assembly required.
Ooh, there's stickers and accessories ! Even a cool color postcard included ( but no gum :( )
What a massacre ! Body parts... I think.
"Father, give me arms !"
Ra !
In the Stikfas future, everyone will have a cloned torso for spare parts.
Stylin' in space gear.
Two fisted Laser gun action
The final product
As you can see, you build your own Stikfas like a model, complete with a hilarous and stunning array of stickers.
Then, once you're done, it's a fully articulated action figure !
And if you have extra pieces, you can mix and match them - it's like action figure Legos.
Yep, these things are cool. And addictive. I'm already itching for my next fix.
Here's the Stikfas web site. There is some extremely cool stuff there.
The Stickfas figures really remind me of Scud: The Disposable Assassin, but that's a whole 'nother blog entry. How's tomorrow work for you ?
