What on Earth is this toy?

[NancyJoan]

Help needed! Friend’s daughter has asked for something she has seen on TV for Christmas. It is the only thing she has asked for. It is called something like Magnetto/Magneto. Is little characters that you can use/move/fit together, to make some sort of stop motion animation. Please, ask your children if they know what it is!!

Is it like Stick Bots?

Yes, but that’s not it. But that may have to be it!

There's also a Minecraft kit which is similar, could it be that?

Magnetix?
Or Geomag?
Or K-nex?
All construction toys.

I have found an old thread about them; but cannot link for some reason. Copy and paste doesn't work. I'll try to send the link separately.

Magno-Z?
