I am looking for Xevoz - complete loose figures or even bags of excess parts. If you have some let me know and I'll see if we can work something out.

Xevoz (pronounced: ZEE-vohs) are a line of action figures made by Hasbro. They were developed using a joint design and construction style licensed from the STIKFAS action figure line. The toys are noted for having posable, interchangeable body parts, and for being of generally high quality and aesthetic appeal. Xevoz enthusiasts particularly enjoy the high degree of customization options to which the toys lend themselves. Four waves of figures were released in the United States
Species
The figures in the Xevoz line are divided into 8 species.
* Neo Sapiens (Humans)
* Meta-Beasts (Mammalians)
* Sectoids (Insects)
* Hyperfuries (Elementals)
* Biomechas (Cyborgs)
* Unnaturals (Undead)
* Reptosaurs (Reptilians)
* Arcasters (originally named Runics) (Sorcerers)
A special "gag" piece was included in most of the Xevoz kits. These pieces were usually irrelevant to the kit itself but were humorous nonetheless.
[edit] Wave 1 Gag Pieces
* Bone Cutter: Lightbulb head
* Razorclaw: boxing gloves
* Alpha Ranger: Head with bowtie
* Shadow Blade: SCUBA Diving parts
* Sledge Trooper: Disfigured human hand
[edit] Wave 2 Gag Pieces
* Dune Stinger: Parasite, Sombrero head
* Hemo Goblin: Small bat-wings, Nosferatu head
* Transcorcher: Brain in a jar
* Shock Berserker: Magnet hand
* Sky Grinder: Jester head
Wave 3 Gag Pieces
* Storm Wing: Chicken head
* Shield Breaker: Hockey Stick
* Quick Slinger: "Kick Me" sign
* Crypt Curse: Chicken stick
* Preda Crawler: Teddy Bear head
* Cryro Katana: Snowman head
[edit] Wave 4 Gag Pieces
* Thunder Shaman: Monkey head with Fez hat, Banana peel
* Hyper Guardian: Dumbbell
* Franken' Punker: Guitar
* Fire Drake: Anvil, Chinese dragon head
The toy had sigma 6 like asthetics, applied to all the genres of geekdom. There were fire elementals, Frankenstein monsters, pirate skeletons, cowboys, solders, ninjas, punks, cats, gorillas, ice creatures, vampires, and more.
You could combine the parts, and use the gag parts to create genre crossing fun figures, then use the included game pieces to "battle" enabling your ninja to hit your cowboy with a sword, and your monkey to fling a banana at your 50's style robot. The game was kind of lame, but the toys were awesome.
