The first STIKFAS style is called the Classic Alpha Male. This is a male-style figure, standing 3 1/4" tall.
The Omega Male is slightly taller, and has a wider girth.
A Beta Female has a feminine shape, is shorter than the Alpha male, and has a different style waist.
Delta Boy is shorter still. It resembles a boy-sized Alpha male, but smaller. In 2004, STIKFAS introduced the Generation Two (or G2) Alpha Male. It has additional points of articulation in the knees and elbows.
In December 2005 a new G2 was released. The Gamma G2 Male is larger than the 'Omega', and has the same extraposable knee and elbow joints as the G2 Alpha. The Gamma also has a wider and thicker chest than the Omega. The chest consists of two separate halves that snap together.
In 2006 yet another new body style was introduced, the G2 Sigma Male, which is a tall slender-looking figure that has an elongated upper torso as well as the addition of separate knee and elbow joints, making it the tallest Stikfas body yet.

STIKFAS has come a long way. From a brief concept inside founder Ban Y J's sketch book, it is now the brand that has defined a new genre in toys with the concept of Action Figure Kits.
The debut of STIKFAS was through a successful co-branding in 2001 with the world's leading computer game publisher, Electronic Arts. This collaboration provided a proof of concept and Stikfas Pte. Ltd. was incorporated in August. Work begun on the first mass production model of the STIKFAS Action Figure Kit, which was made available to public through online sales at www.stikfas.com in December 2001.
From 2002 to 2004, STIKFAS was licensed to international toy giant Hasbro Inc and this move saw a significant increase in its product range, distribution network as well as market recognition. During this period, STIKFAS has been the awarded the title of "Best Original Concept" in "Best of the Best 2002" by Wizard's Toyfare magazine, the industry's leading publication. That year, STIKFAS came in second for "Most Fun and Innovative Toy" in a consumer's poll by Toyshop Magazine, a revoluntionary achievement for a simple plastic toy to earn its place in a category dominated by high tech electronic toy items.
STIKFAS debut in Japan in the fall of 2003 under the distribution of Tomy Direct Co. Ltd. In February 2005, the very first comprehensive fan book about STIKFAS, its products and the people in the company, was published by Hobby Japan, the nation's leading hobby magazine since 1969. This publication reinforced the cult status that STIKFAS has in Japan.
From a close group of friends led by the vision of one to turn an idea into a product, Stikfas Pte Ltd is now a company driven principally by the human factor and a unique corporate culture. And this drive is not just in growing the STIKFAS range of products, but also in developing more viable ideas for the creative industry, expanding in brands and intellectual property contents. Still, behind the facade of business and brands, the engine of creativity can only be driven by the minds that fuel it. This is a belief that has laid the foundation of our corporate culture and will pave the way for our tomorrow. And our work with the local institutions will enable us to reach out to young talents in Singapore. A field can only grow when there are thriving generations of people to till its grounds. And we hope our work today will ensure that there is a more vibrant future for Singaporean creative talents in the international arena.
