XEVOZ'''Xevoz''' is a combination [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|modular action figure slash tabletop game]] created by [[Hasbro]] and launched in 2004.<ref>''[https://xevoz.fandom.com/wiki/Xevoz#History Xevoz]'' (History), Xevoz Wiki</ref>

Despite (or possibly due to) the uniqueness of the action figure-tabletop game concept, declining sales of Xevoz toys led to Hasbro discontinuing this line, and letting go the development team - but it lives on within its strong fandom, and even newer Hasbro productions like ''[[G.I. Joe: Sigma 6]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' utilise some design elements of this unique toyline.
