StikBot Studio Review

I have a fun Timberdoodle product to share with you today, StikBots!  Remember my review on the Stop Motion Animation Kit from Stopmotion Explosion?  Timberdoodle's StopMotion Explosion 2.0 with StikBots is perfect because you get both the Animation Kit and the bots themselves!

Our StikBot Studio set

StikBots are translucent, plastic action figures that you can pose to create fun stop-motion animation.  Their little, jointed bodies are held together with elastic cords to help make posing easier.  They have suction cups on their hands and feet so they stick to pretty much every smooth surface and also to each other.  They come in a variety of colors and are also available as pets.

They really do stick!

Our set came with a blue StikBot man and a red StickBot dog and has everything you need to begin.  You just download the free App and start creating your very own stop-motion video starring your StikBots.  The tripod is great because it allows your phone to stay still while taking multiple photos, allowing for better animation.  It can be adjusted for different phone sizes.

The back of the box will direct you to the App.

Here is a view of the App after I downloaded it.

The App has some great tutorials for learning how to make your StikBots move and creating videos.

Check out the video of our StikBot man and StikBot dog doing cartwheels that the kids created using the App below.

And here is another of our StikBot dog dancing and then he is joined by a StikBot dinosaur.

StikBots are super fun and a relatively inexpensive way for kids to learn about and make animation!  We really enjoy them.  And my kids also just like to play with them as well, similar to action figures.  These would make fantastic stocking stuffers as we head into the Holiday season.
