Stako Saal (Tiny Skel)

The Stako Saal (Tiny Skel) is a type of toy commonly found in the Poku Saeruo Degonjo. The popularity of the Stako Yanuto (Exo-Skel) mechs of the Clan in the last few decades has two forms of miniature Stako Yanuto toys.

Homemade Tiny Skel

Craftiness is a valued skill in the Clan, and recycling materials and broken things is a regular activity for Clan members. Baqli (children) are taught to make their own toys at a very early age, in order to begin teaching these valued skills. Young ones may make Qaktoro warriors out of cast-off scraps of plastic, or they may assemble facsimiles of Clan ships from bits of plastic, glue, and sticks.

Stako's are fulfilling toys to build, as young children practice assembling parts intended to move. Ideal Tiny Skel toys use as much metal as possible, to best simulate the true metallic mechs themselves. Children can distinguish themselves by creating toy weapons for their Tiny Skels, and even by painting Afirmugaly (Heraldry) on their toy mechs, or even fake battle damage.

Manufactured Tiny Skel

Some enterprising Jopalelpi (Businesses) manufacture mechanical Tiny Skel toys, complete with some astounding features. Advanced toys can move on their own by remote, walking and jumping and firing foam 'coil gun' darts at enemies. While homemade toys show a young Clan member's ability to build things on their own, an advanced manufactured Tiny Skel toy shows the wealth of their Ruoka (House), reinforcing their social status with other baqli.
