Getting back to the OP's original question - it seems that there was a line of modular/buildable figures called STIKFAS in Japan(?) which was then licensed to Hasbro, who used that figure style to create their own line called Xevoz in 2003/4.
The same guys, Tucker Johnson and Wayne Losey from Dynamo Development Labs, developed and designed both Xevoz and, shortly thereafter, Sigma 6.
Thus, some of the similarities of stylization, modularity and accessory styles, between the two lines.
Xevoz:
Sigma 6:
Also, apparently a lot of the modularity and the port holes for plugging in accessories was inspired by the 1980s toy line Centurions:
