Wow! Already?! That was pretty quick!

English names? Niiiiiice.

More info out about these now. The In Thing has details and some pics available.

I think most of the interest here will be in the 6cm figures. Gone, however, are the old 4-packs, to be replaced by 3-packs with a useless little pop-up plastic thing.

Oh, and the RRP on these 3-packs is now up to £8.99! Doesn't seem that long ago when 4-packs cost £4.99

The three Talking Altars come with the same figures as the Italian release (Mutevole Sandis, Pignavex, Mollusco) - I'm guessing that these will now speak in English and will have English names.

There's also 5 Magic Eggs - again, the same as the Italian ones I would guess.

And there's also an "Eye of Life" talking wrist guard - I have NFI what this is, but it looks naff:

The playsets look as though they could be interesting: An Earth Shrine with a golden figure (don't know which one) and also a Tree House which will come with a golden L'Artefatto figure - which I think I am correct in saying will be something new for the UK that wasn't available in Italy.

There's also 6cm figures plus mini creatures, so they'll be on the same scale as the ordinary figures:

One thing that definitely doesn't seem to be on the agenda are the 5 clear-plastic variants that were newsstand exclusive in Italy.

[bronchuseven]

Wow... I never really cared too much for the playsets, but that treehouse looks wicked!

[koppenschevelle]

So what has been all five of the UK series?

I know:

Series 1 - Series Eneghencia
Series 2 - Series 2 Italy
Series 3 - ?
Series 4 - ?
Series 5 - Elemental Fusion

I know that one of the series was the Cartoon series, Lords of Nature Return. What about the other series?

Eric

[BaltanII]

Series 3 was Atomic, Series 4 is Cartoon.

Also, it's Energheia.

Yeah, I was never a fan of the volcano set, but that treehouse is awesome. Reminds me of the Deku Tree: http://usuarios.lyco...ages/z5deku.gif

I have all the figures from this series you can get from the 3 and 2 Packs (None of the magic egg ones and still need the Forest Avatar of Life Figure) but I have not seen a pack with any Lord figure in them do 2 or 4 packs exists with the Lord figures in or do you have to buy Single packs to get those?

[Strontium Dog]

Good question! The lords seemed more difficult to get even in the original Italian series too, I only have one.

I'm sticking a box of foils in my order and will let you know if the Lords make an appearance.

All of the figures I have of this line so far I only got 1 spare (The Turtle one) from geting all the 2/3 pack figures except the Lord that seem lager than the other figures as well. Got to admit the magic egg figure is rather small compared to the rest of the set.







All seven of the Pop Up card thingys is it me or does Deep Down Fear Look Neon green on his?






Did the Gold figures that was on the cartoon series pack even come out they seemed to be Series 3 figures.

[Strontium Dog]

Nice pics, what are those pop-up things about anyway? They look kinda naff to me, I've given them the swerve anyway and ordered a box of foils rather than a box of blisters (worked out cheaper).

So far as I know they came out, they came with playsets, however I didn't bother hunting them down as I already had them, so I might be mistaken. They were all Final Evolution sculpts IIRC.

There called Explosion cards your ment to throw them onto a flat surface so the cardboard Lord flys off it to Land on the game board (Its a giant circle target and is the same size as the posters that come with other 4 packs) and then put a gormiti card in its place. In other words a really stupid game that has nothing to do with the figures or cards at all. The artwork just below the cardboard lord are stickers and you have to apply them your self but they stay in the card holders ok without begin stuck on. That and one side has the copyrights printed inside of it meaning the sticker would not stick well.

The only Gold Cartoon series figure I have ever seen is Cartoon series Bullrock with the Earth Playset that is also in the Elemental Fusion Line.

Well, I got FOUR of the Lords in my box of 24, little disappointing as in the past they've tended to be quite generous with Lord distribution. I got Nick, Deepdownfear, Lucas and Lavion, which means I still need Lords of the Sea and Air, and Magmion (though I already have the first two of those, albeit sans cards).

It's just typical that the one series where a Lords box might come in useful, and not be totally extraneous (insofar as Lords from all the previous series are a dime a dozen in blister packs, and I have them coming out of my ears) is the one series where a Lords box isn't produced.

Once again the quality control in this series is pretty lame. The quality of English on the cards is so-so again (sample: "A fusion of the elements have plated his body with a cocktail of metal and stones" ) and a few of the names are just wrong... Rotten Leaf is called "Rotten Lea" on the card, The Lord of the Forest is called "People of the Forest" (maybe he has multiple personality issues).

The guardian mounts look quite cool, you take the legs of the supplied figures and slot them into the creatures - HOWEVER the tail plug on my Magmion snapped as I was removing it from the socket, which isn't great... hopefully I can glue that, but it doesn't say much for the build quality.

Haven't fizzed my Magic Eggs or opened my altars yet, but I'm a little underwhelmed so far.

The altar of Life is ok but it should of been cheaper. Turning it on makes it say Position Your Hero then you insert a figure it makes a sound then says its name then it says Give me your energy or another saying depends on the figure. Then you press the metal bars on the Altar and it says somthing else EG Youve got the Gormiti Power. Then you have to put another figure on or the same one for it to speak again..

The Sound comes out clear but they is only like 5 diffrent voices for the Gormitis the voices are.
Forest Sounds kinda Like Yami Yugi from the Dub of Yugioh
Earth A deep Voice
Volcano Exactly the same as the Earth Voice
Sea sounds like a Dalek
Air Has a Posh British Male sounding voice I bet the Jessica the air Lord uses the same voice

The thing takes 3 AAA bateries not included of course Im sure they could of made it Work with watch batteries as well. The thing is cheaper than other toy lines Chip reading toys outhere. The Secret Saturdays one is £20 and the Yugioh 5ds mini Figure Reader is a insane £25 and all it is has a simple games and tell you the Card Stats of the inserted Monster and all of the Real cards of the Figures are way cheaper as well making this pointless.

I saw the Guardian Mounts today kinda disapointed they did not even make all 4 mounts into the series. The egg figures are rather bad there almost as twice as small and twice as thin as the other figures in the series for some reason .

I wonder what happens if you put a Italian Figure onto the English Altar of Life would it speak Italian or English?

I like them! They are more on the scale of the earlier series Gormiti. I do like the newer Gormiti, but I think they're too damn chunky.

Incidentally, I always wondered how they would get around the chip in the foot issue for the Magic Egg figures, since they need to be dunked in water. Quite simply - no chips in the feet of these ones.

I'll test this out later!

I do not Find the Egg figures that bad but for Their Price nearly the Price of 3 Figures they could of been a bit better. Puting a egg series in this set was Kinda daft though it would of been better if they made the egg figures into regular ones for this series at least then they would of had sound chips in them. Got all 5 Egg ones now just need the Forrest Altar of Life figure to get all of the set Minus the Lords which I only have Deep Down Fear and Lucas the lord of the forest.

My card of Lucas the lord of the forest calls him People of the Forrest as well. Reminds me in america they messed up the 1st Edtion print run of the Yugioh Trap Card Counter Counter that cancles out other Counter trap cards by making the first print run not have a Counter Symbol on it making it a totaly useless card and the Time they Reprint a Old and Powerful Promo card (Blue Eyes Ulltimate Dragon) but Made all the Reprints give it 800 less defence than it was ment to have.

Found A Siligtly Odd thing about the Altar of Life as well. Deep Down Fear on it just says his name but not that he is a Lord Whilst Lucas the lord of the forest just says I am the Lord of the Forrest.

I found this set in my Local Tesco. Never saw this set at full price though that was the same with the Atomic starter sets from Tesco as well. They only seem's to be one version of the set. The figures have no Chips in their feet either.



Is this set a UK only set they is no Spanish on the box anywhere unlike the rest of the Elemental Fusion series in the UK and Spain.

I still need The Lord of Air/Sea and Magion to have the full series.

[Strontium Dog]

Whoa whoa whoa! I've never seen those before at all.

And you only bought the one box?! £5 is insane cheap for that. I am definitely up for a box if you can get any more, and I'm sure plenty others will be too.

[lhssenior]

Put me down for 1 as well if they have extras left. I'll gladly pay the shipping the the USA and give you a little extra for your time

[Strontium Dog]

I can't believe I didn't check Tesco's website earlier, but they have them online too:

http://direct.tesco....R.207-7656.aspx

I think I am certainly placing an order for a few of these, they appear to be a UK exclusive (they're certainly not available in Italy, so all the Italians are going ape for these right now) and they're priced pretty cheap too.

No international shipping though so if either of you could pm me and let me know if you could pick up an extra for me that would be great! Thanks!
