So, started new job. what better way to show how committed I am than to bring in my Xevoz to decorate my drab cubicle? They've been packed up since we moved, so I dug the box out of the garage & took it to work. So much fun. Why oh why did they stop making these. I want more! Nothing but great memories of these toys. Some slight cracks on the translucent ball sockets, but they still work well. And sadly, I broke the arc casters foot when trying to take his genie shoe off.

Good stuff, CBM! I love seeing pics like that. Out of curiosity, what kind of job did you get that they let you put out figures like that? Sounds sweet!
fett411: I believe it's a Skull Jack that has had a dye job. Could be wrong though.
One more thing, have some of you guys' figures not aged well? A few weeks ago I was rebuilding a Shock Berzerker in order to display it again, but one of the ball joints just snapped. It is the plastic in general that is degrading is maybe just Shock B. since he's clear plastic? I've heard horror stories from people who had other older figures made with clear plastic (Transformers in particular). Stuff just breaking for no reason. Hopefully that's not what's happening.

I'm just an office drone, so they aren't picky about what my cube looks like. If I moved up the corporate ladder or worked with customers, it wouldn't be allowed. Yeah, that's a dyed skull jack. I also did a Cryo Katana, but it didn't turn out as well as I would have liked. Oh well, hindsight 20/20 blah blah... So far I have to broken pieces, the arc caster, and an un-dyed cryo katana. So no I can't really attach his left arm anymore. Other than that they are all fine. But now if a joint is tough to move I'm scared it will break so I just leave it be.

Wow, people still post here? Nice, seems like a lifetime ago we all hung out here discussing these figures and hoping and guessing at what new ones would come out next. Good times, to bad the ride ended so quickly.
