Here’s a new 3D doodle coming to life. New replacement lipsync drop coming soon. Shall we give it some hair? Perhaps hair options? Who wants one to test for us for free? #

🌎✈️ We’re shipping to the USA again! 🇺🇸

Great news — Animation Toolkit orders are now open for our US customers once more! 💛

To keep things simple and hassle-free, we’ve introduced a 10% import duties fee at checkout. This covers the import duties that USPS applies when parcels arrive in the USA from Royal Mail.

👉 What this means for you:
• The 10% is calculated on the value of your products (not shipping).
• You’ll pay it upfront at checkout — no surprise bills later.
• We’re covering the extra admin fees charged by Royal Mail ourselves, so you don’t have to.

This is a temporary measure while the new US import rules settle in, but it means you can continue to get your favourite stop-motion parts, tools, and kits without the worry of unexpected costs on delivery.

Thanks for sticking with us — we think this is the fairest way to keep everything running smoothly for our US community. 💪✨

‘Wednesday’ Stop motion director, gives us a little lesson in Overlapping Action → Different parts of the body move at slightly different times instead of all at once, creating a wave-like chain reaction through the body in this run cycle. Chris has used our Voodoo Armature set to demonstrate this amazing well. Thanks !!

Stop-motion is a bit Voodoo!? We waggle puppets and bring them to life. Here our OG, fully loaded rig for ya. Comes with a fly rig, super magnets and tie downs. Features are super cool - all silver brazed here in our workshop for a solid performance. #
