You embodied the reasons I loved and hated Stikfas in the first 4 minutes. Easy to assemble, easy to break. What I learned is that some were produced by two different companies, meaning they have two different qualities. For a couple of years, Hasbro had the license to produce Stikfas. They also produced a short-lived action figure series based on them called Xevoz. Xevoz were called up to a 6-inch scale, and were incompatible for Stikfas. Stikfas did have future plans for the action figure line, new molds and bigger figures, as well as getting the rights to produce Evangelion-based kits, but alas, the creator got involved in a sex scandal and all of his plans have gone nowhere.
