I'm confused as to the size of the Gormiti. Seems like they vary. Can someone clear that up for me? Also, maybe someone has already said, but how do we get them in the US?

they are a couple of inches tall, the bigger things i have in my pic are the playsets. i think jkaris may be going to sell gormiti on the shop. i can post you some to the us from here in england but it works out expensive.

Hey Gary!

They are a little taller than kinkeshi. More Battle Beast size.

I can't stress enough how cool these figures are!

My box of this series is currenty being held at a post office after some issues with one of our postal services in the UK (again!) but I can't wait to get them!

What I am also looking forward to is getting a copy of the DVD to see what the cartoon is like. I really hope they take off in the rest of Europe like they have done Italy, if they went back to release some of the old series sculpts it would be fantastic :D

It's very strange how so much renewed interest in Gormiti and their new availability in the UK (come on, American distributors!) has helped them erupt in only more popularity. I can even see myself going for a lot of these even though I was underwhelmed by these older sculpts/colors when I first saw them.

On a "I'm greedy and trying to sell my stuff" note, I'm getting rid of most of the Gormiti sculpts I have, so check Got Toys for my thread. Minus Sporius the Terrible, that is. Mushroom with firepower? Hell yeah I'm keeping him. :D

here are my doubles: MAGMION, LAVION and Solitary Eagle.

The other pic shows a muscle gormiti comparison although you do get slightly larger figures, MAGMION and LAVION are bigger than the rest of their tribespeople for example.

Anyone notice that the point values on the feet vary? I have two of the Mimeticus figures and one has a pv of 3 and the other a pv of 2. Craig, do your doubles have different point values?

Holy Lava monsters, Batman your right!

one of my magmion figures has a point value of 2 and the other 8

Lavion has a point value of 7 and another of 4

and Solitary Eagle has a points value of 2 and the other has a 6

but the cards have the same value as each other... how odd?!? i wonder why that is???

The numbers on the feet apparently correspond to the game, but no hint on why they're random numbers. Probably just even more reason to get kids riled up about collecting them, to get better numbers and thus faster characters to kick more enemy Gormiti butt.

Writing a book, I don't think so! B) I guess I should let you in on my secret reason for asking the size! :( I have a gigantic collection of toy soldier-type miniature figurines of all kinds--creatures, ethnic figures, mythological and religious figures, etc.--, most of which are the standard 1/32 scale, or about 54mm. I like to find interesting additions that more or less fit that scale. If they're too small or too big, I can't really use them! Besides collecting them, I use them in a form of Jungian imaginal therapy called Sandplay or Sandtray therapy. :p

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. When the first series came out in Italy I remember posting in another Gormiti thread about the price of figures on eBay sometimes rocketing sky high, other times being lower. Well these were individual loose figures and I reckon the higher price ones were the ones with the higher numbers. I think it's a pretty cool idea to make them random, I'm not one for gameplay but if I was I'm sure it would make it more interesting B)

this is exactly the reason B)
even though between two same figures I would rather choose the one with less paint errors/imperfections, than the one with high number

numbers on feet is for the game, you both pick a character and then add the power number on the card to the number on the feet and the highest is the winner, jo always loses beacuse i know which ones (by the way they are painted) has the higher numbers on the feet. she actually hates gormiti and boglins <_<

yeah i have noticed a lot of the lava leaders, i have four lava leaders two of each and one air leader and 1 earth leader so i need a foresty leader and a water leader.

the problem with the 4 packs you can only buy say 6 to get the leaders you need and then if you keep collecting them for the other figures you dont have you will always end up duplicating your leaders

Hi. The size may vary: the average size is 4 cm (1,6 inches), but the leader from each people is taller (5 cm or more). The first series ones were much more thin, I mean the real first series and not the Energheia resculpts that are out now in U.K.
And they are molded in hard rubber and smell more or less like Mac Farlane's action figures.

I think I'm going to be sick. But for the kiddies, that must be awesome, so good for them. To think Gormiti has become so ridiculously popular, and yet, how many people in the US like or even know about these things?! It boggles the mind.

ToyFare ought to get on this for a future article.
