Well Stel and STRIPE are different in some minor ways.

Differences:
STRIPE: Smoother, larger feet, Less Mobile Hands, Fatter Wrists, Colors
Stel: More Robotic, Colors

Similarities:
Connectors: the connectors are the Exact Same

Reasons:
Using the same Base molds will save money in the long Run for Mattel Most C&C's use different.

I have Imperiex, Kilowog, Trigon, Darkseid, Validus, Bane, Anti-Monitor, and Apache Chief DCUC and Arkillo and Stel of the DCUCGLC. and am working on Gorilla Grodd, Kalibak, Atom Smasher, Giganta, Chemo, Ultra-Humanite, and STRIPE most of these are 1 part except Humanite and STRIPE which require 2 peices each (left Arm and Leg and Head and Lower Torso Respectivly)
