Last bonus for the day:  "No magical force in the world matches the strength of the EVOSTONES, and only a true XEVOLVER warrior can access their power. Now the quest of the Xevolvers takes them to strange lands as they race to track down the lost EVOBOOSTERS - ancient weapons powered by those mysterious stones. One thing is clear now: only a Xevolver who masters the devastating power of an EVOBOOSTER weapon can hope to achieve the full destiny of a XEVOZ warrior." |

we had to pose every one of those things for all the various photos. major pain since they were not real plastic at that point, and every joint was filled with tacky wax to try & make them hold. We had about 10 seconds to get the camera in place once posed since the wax would melt under the lights. those were the days...

These pictures are quite interesting. Thank you very much for posting them. I love the design on Net-Geist, very awsome. Wasn't their a drawn picture of it, and Rockahuna at one point?

The picture I think you are thinking about wasn't netgiest but machette mech or maybe they are the same figure. Wacommonkey probably knows but can't tell us.

hey SS,
there were package illustrations done for all the characters, including the unreleased wave that included netgiest & machetemech. I don't know which ones have leaked out. Netgiest is the character nixon posted, machete mech was a biomecha built for jungle warfare.

There were a few leaked images in a Devil's Due portfolio, but they've since been taken off the 'net, I think...

They never had names on them. We just speculated who they were by names the hasbro customer serviced leaked to us over the phones.

Nixon can you take close up or just type in the text of the figure descriptions and info on the character.

yes, thanks i was looking for that, not on my work HD. I guess the head on netgeist is a bit different from the pics. Now if we could only see Machete Mech!

Devil's Due artwork is good but it doesn't due the figures we've seen justice IMO. Ithought this might be a weaker wave when we first saw these but now I think it's wave might have been a favorite. I wonder exactly now this wave would have been... Which one's are the boosters? Which one was the Master Modifiers? Which ones were the 2 pack? Was attacknid and terra crawler supposed to be a full figures in later waves and these were somewhat a preview of them? I have a lot of questions.  |

Do you think the molds for the parts still exist anywhere? Eh, even if they did, they'd probably be unusable by now... Oh, and for those who don't know, here's a link to a few concept sketches of the Stikfas 'Evoloids' line, which may have been the thing that BanYJ was hinting at in that email posted on /toy/... lncmd.com/blog1/2008/01/17/zeta-series-evoloids/ |

That's about what I expected. Those are blocky and somewhat boring variations of a standard no thrills humanoid, nothing stylish and dedicated showing true imagination like xevoz did. Those are likely to be expensive. I'd rather them made themstylied and dedicated at the stikfas scale rather than stripped down vanilla at a larger scale. I think these will mostly appeal to the fans stikfas already have in hand but not to xevoz purists who do not like the current things stikfas offers such as myself. I say this all on my personal opinion as a xevoz substitute and not to insult anyone who will like these for what they are on their own merits. I guess they open up new doors to stikfas customizers and collectors but they do nothing for me.
