Brainstorm is expanding its portfolio of animation toys for kids with KlikBots, which take the form of posable collectibles that can be used for creating stop-motion videos. The toys are available in the form of Heroes and Villains that can be posed with different limbs and accessories that click into place so that precise and dynamic frame-by-frame scenes can be brought to life from the imagination. With KlikBots, Brainstorm introduces the story of Heroes who are trying to save the world from Modulus and his Minions.
Characters like Thud, Klonk and Slink can be found in assorted packs like the KlikBot Studio Packs, which come with tripods for framing the toys using the free StikBot app’s green screen tech.
