Where can I buy this posable robot?

A friend of mine has this neat posable robot, which I've been using to mess around with stopmotion animation. However they don't remember where they bought it. Here's a photo of it. Do you know where I can buy it? Searching Amazon didn't bring it up.

Best answer: Looks like a Stikfa Mechana Segmented Robot. The official site has a list of retailers. I'm not sure about the availability of each model, though.

Best answer: Since your question is answered (I *have* one of those around here somewhere! But it was a gift and I didn't know its name), maybe your robot could use some friends in its next animated feature? While looking around I found Adam and CubeBot.

Response by poster: Yeah, I'm finding trouble finding that specific robot, on a two minute Google search (still looking, no worries, I will find him) but Stikfas themselves look like excellent tools for practicing stop motion techniques/lighting etc.

Adam and CubeBot look intriguing too, so if anyone any other suggestions for these sort of robots/toy things for stop motion, that would be great!
