Stop Motion Animation
Because of the "ultra pose-ability" of the Stikfas figures they have also been widely used to create independent stop motion animation films. Stop motion film examples:
- Stikfas: Pirates vs. Ninjas by Jacob Talkington
- Plastic: A Biography by Jacob Kramer
- Fight: A short Kung Fu stikfas animation
The Stikfas company is also hosting yearly stop motion contests at the Comic-Con Convention. The first took place in 2007 and some of the judges included Marc Spess from popular stop motion web site http://www.animateclay.com, and Lionel Orozco from http://www.stopmotionworks.com.
Stikfas also have small square notches on their bodies which allow for rare earth magnets to be inserted. These notches can be found on the upper legs, feet and upper body section. The curved U shaped hands are also the same diameter as the notches. Once inserted into any of these areas, the magnets allow the Stikfas to be posed while adhered to a magnetic surface so they won't fall over.

Famous quotes containing the words stop and/or motion:
“But just as delicate fare does not stop you from craving for saveloys, so tried and exquisite friendship does not take away your taste for something new and dubious.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
“A field of water betrays the spirit that is in the air. It is continually receiving new life and motion from above. It is intermediate in its nature between land and sky.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
