I wish they brought these back, or someone would make em as 3D prints. Love buildable figures, but the skeleton theme really made em nice, especially with the articulation.

I dont get the appeal of skeletons when the appeal of outer layers is better. Also aren't these just Italian Xevoz and they will break eventually?

Skeletons are cool, I don't know about the breakage stuff. Lost my collection a few years back. Never even got the skeleton warrior wave locally I think.

I have several of both, and while some Xevoz parts have breakage issues by now, especially red, yellow and transparent, all of my Skeleflex are still in top condition. With Xevoz it helps today that I often bought doubles back then.

Oh yeah, I should get some. But the art style is a little too cartoony for my taste.

I wonder if the molds for these are even still intact. I'd love to see a total rerelease of the collection with stronger joints.

I loved these, but they do self destruct very easily. If they brought them back I'd make the join system completely different, but the idea itself was fan freaking tastic.
Sucks the t-rex got a shitty fucking jiggle gimmick instead of a full articulated skeleton

Most places destroy molds. They cost too much and are too large to store... So, very, very doubtful.

I had one of those as a kid and I hate that I took shitty care of them and lost them.

Yeah there's a significant chance that they're gone but I'd like to believe they might still be around.
Since we're on the subject, how would one go about purchasing or even seeking out old molds? I keep going back to the Funskool and Goldlok Toys examples from the past 5 years. Both of those toys (the Indian releases of old Kenner Batman product, and the Walmart exclusive rerelease of Trendmasters' Robby the Robot respectively) were manufactured from the original molds used way back when in the 90's. Is it a matter of contacting Chinese factories? Is it just pure luck? I'm dying to know.
