Wow, I'm surprised nobody mentioned Xevoz yet. This has to be one of the best toylines ever. So much possibilities. Anyone who doesn't know about Xevoz should check out this fan website ( Figure Realm- Xevoz ). These figures were awesome. In one toyline you'd get pirate skeletons, sci-fi space marines, steampunk cowboys, animal warriors and much, much more. This line really pushed the ball and socket joint concept. Everything was interchangeable. Many customizers these days still use Xevoz joints for articulation in their works.

So what went wrong? There was a SEVERE lack of support for the line from Hasbro. It was only meant as a filler line while they concentrated on TFs, Joes and Star Wars. Hasbro did try, but they never invested in Xevoz as much as they did and still do in their 'main' lines.

Xevoz lived long enough for 4 waves of toys to come out before it was discontinued and toys massively clearanced in stores.



In short, Xevoz was an excellent idea that was indeed badly excuted. I consider myself lucky to have been able to collect and play with figures from that line.
