You know, this wouldn't seem so surprising if the Italian web site would update someday.

I love Gormiti, but these are a bit lame.

Could this perhaps be the moment that the Gormiti toyline jumped the shark? It could be all downhill from here...

Well yeah, they are lame, but that's because the kids look lame. These seem to be some sort of previously unannounced addition to Elemental Fusion, though, and Fusion is a pretty cool set.

WTF??? :D I am shocked at this catatstrophe. Definitely a bad move for Gormiti. Who wants to collect cartoonish lame kids? ;)

So is Gormiti going to be the next PokeMeMon?

Really, I don't care for the kid figures, but it won't hamper my interest in the toys, as long as the level of pure awesomeness stays the same, in regards to the non-human characters.

Well I think this could be a bonus for Gormiti. I've only watched one episode of the cartoon and the kids play a key role. We all know that the line could benefit from the show be translated and aired stateside. I don't think it could do anything but be a plus for the line to introduce figures of the cartoon kids. It's not like the toy line focus could switch to Gormiti being a bunch of kid figures and not creatures, that would just not make sense.

I think Pokemon is LAME :D It is bad enough Gormiti is similar to the Pokemon game to a certain extent already. To add little kids, just bites Pokemon style a bit to hard for me ;) Not to mention where do these cheesy kids come from on the Island of Gorm? A separate secluded island? The Island of People? Are they the people of the people tribe? :D The kids do not add anything special to the line except for to make it lame and a knockoff. I vote to drop them from the line completely. I have not seen any of the Gormiti tv episodes so I do not know how the humans would fit in anyway. Does anyone care to explain how they fit in?

i would not even mind them, but they have crappy plastic stands :( :(

even if i had every single gormiti bar these kids i would not have them on account of the stands. Stands shatter the illusion that toys are just toys :)

LOL, yeah.

I saw these in a recent Gormiti Magazine, but they appear to be part of another exclusive set, so of little real impact on the core line.

I think they are just there to capitalize on the popularity of the TV show, while the toylines seems to be moving along separately.

After all, the show still is focused on the same designs it started with, while Elemental Fusion has moved on and has yet (to the best of my knowledge) to be incorporated into the show.

At the end of the Final Evolution storyline, all of the Lords are sucked into a black hole, including Armageddon. Magmion, Lavion, and Deepdownfear were not, or somehow conveniently escaped. That leaves the four good tribes without leaders. That's where the Old Sage and that dinosuar fit in. He makes this dinosaur immortal and tasks it with waiting until it finds four humans worthy to become the new Gormiti Lords.

You know the Lord figures in Cartoon and Elemental Fusion? They're those four children.

Hence the reason why they have names like 'Toby! Lord of The Sea!' :)

Yeah guys, this isn't "THE LINE IS OVER! IT'S NOTHING BUT KIDS NOW!" I mean, we've already gotten two figures of each kid's transformed state, they're just finally making the "normal" ones. The fact that Elemental Fusion is pretty much all non-cartoon (unless they're getting that plot armor) should say everything.
