If Stikfas came first, how can they be the baby brother?
Does not compute!

You're 100% right. The only way I can defend them being the baby brothers is that they're considerably smaller... but still, you're right.
It was late and my mind wasn't clicking on all cylinders, but I'll fix that now.

How about the smaller, but infinitely cooler and more original older brother?

Why not just say "predecessor" or "ancestor"?  |

Infinitely cooler?  Pheh. Stikfas is Disco. Xevoz are the Hip-Hop. Unless you like disco and/or dislike Hip-Hop. No, wait, Stikfas is the pancakes and Xevoz is the waffles. Yeah, waffles are way cooler than pancakes. |

Waffles are more detailed pancakes, so that analogy seems apt.

I have like 42 Stikfas and 3 Xevoz, so I guess you can see which one is better, but I do want to get the Dune Stinger and a couple of Xevoz's.
Stikfas is the BIG brother, don't forgot about the 14 inch Stikfas

Ahh, good point, so it was Nater?
No, but in all honesty I personally do think Xevoz are better then Stikfas. I don't currently have any Stikfas, nor have I ever bought one though I have been tempted on more then one occasion to pick some up. Becuase of this, I dunno if I can really give any sort of fare comparrison, but from what I have heard and seen, the following are my personal reasons for thinking Xevoz are better:
1. Xevoz are more durable. From what I have heard Stikfas are not the most durable of toys and are somewhat prone to breaking with their more brittle plastic. Also, I have heard their clear plastic was and still is not that great when it comes to the joints.
2. Xevoz have more details. I like how they have slight brow indentations and some have mouths and can imply so many different expression with their faces just from posing them certain ways. Extremly cool. Not only this but they have fur coming off their limbs and back and whatnot, and all sorts of other subtle, yet effective detailing. Stifkas just don't have this. They have flat plastic and not much more to the design at all really. Yeah they got stickers (as do Xevoz), but imo, the stickers just don't cut it. I don't want a sticker that you can TELL is a sticker and comes off fairly easy. Xevoz have subtle expressions and details that make them look average enough you can have multiples or whatnot, but at the same time they are unqiue.
3. Xevoz have more variety. Stikfas for the most part, all look the same with the addition of different accessories and color. They all use the same Alpha, Beta, Omega design as their base, and are all just humans save for a few creatures in various sets. Xevoz on the other hand are VERY dynamic imo. You got everything from humans and animal-people, to huge insects and elemental monstrosities. Not only this but every figure in each race is really quite different then the others. Also, there are just so many more Xevoz available now and they havn't been out near as long as Stikfas.
4. Price. Xevoz are cheaper for what you get, hands down. I can pay 5 bucks for a basic Alpha Stikfas figure with very little or no accessories or 7 for a Xevoz booster with extra body parts and weapons. Not to mention Stikfas don't have any paint apps or detail like mentioned above.
Those are MY reasons I personally like Xevoz more. Some other points that could really go either way and I have no opinion about are as follows:
1. Size. This is just a preferance and has no clear advantage or disadvantage for either line imo. Some like 5", some like 3.5", it just depends.
2. Putting em together. Again, this is a personal preference. Some people like putting figures together - cutting them out, trimming them, etc, some don't as much and would rather just snap the figures together and go.
Anyways, these are just my thoughts, take em for what they are worth.[/b]

I like some of the new Stikfas, but they don't hold a candle to Xevoz IMO. To me Stikfas is Space 1999, Xevoz is Star Wars. Both are cool but Xevoz is just more interesting and cooler on a grander scale.
