alrighty, I do not know if there is a thread about this thing but, we might be able to revive it, but we cannot find out the exact reasons they cancelled it without directly contacting the marketing department. all comments are sent to the marketing department, if enough people show an interest in the line it may be revived, as we know they have the molds, they can easily restart it.
-if anyone finds a way to contact marketing, post it
-send messages, live chat, do whatever to send positive comments and concerns as to why the line died. marketing will see them.
-hopefully we can bring these toys back, the deserve to live on.

if you read the old threads, you'll see the many and varied theories and reasons why xevoz is no more.  |

Heh, no. They aren't ever coming back. They sold poorly and they never had a cartoon or anything to make them to even achieve cult status in pop culture to make a comeback worth the endeavor. Just enjoy what we got (4 waves is alot of a failed action figure line) and customize or create in other ways the ones you had wished we had got.

I can think of a way to bring them back. Some upstart toy company needs to buy the whole kit and kaboodle from Hasbroken free an clear.

There's no one who would like to see the line come back more than me, but it's a long shot.
Hasbro would have to see a totally different way of positioning it. It's hard to comprehend the scope of finance that happens when a toy giant creates a toy line -it's millions of dollars. This is why smaller toy companies have a hard time. Who has an extra mil. laying around that they can just gamble on something that may or may not sell? These giant companies have the heft to make those gambles but they do it slowly and with a good amount of research to make sure they see profit. We were lucky enough to be given free reign and take that gamble with Xevoz in 2003, but it didn't pay off.
If anyone wins a big powerball, contact the original Xevoz guys, we'll be glad to work with you to bring it back!!

I can actually think of an even cheaper way to bring them back but it would require lots of work and creativity. Buy the license to just produce an MMO from Hasbro. Everything needed to make the MMO is pretty much built in, factions lore all of it. The character creation would be awesome because you would pick parts and put them on your avatar. It's a huge longshot but if an online game for Xevoz got popular there might be incentive for Hasbro to resurrect the line. Granted actually buying everything from Hasbro would be more sure fire, but it would be hella 'spensive.
