GORMITI! SUNOVA. The store had regular painted guys in blister cards and foil packs. The entire assorment they had used only the Series 3 figures despite having the Cartoon series all over the packaging.

I skipped the blisters altogether and felt up the foil packs just to see if there where any interesting molds I could find. When I came across an Obscurio, I went ahead and tore through the packaging in store (no one seemed to mind) and my jaw dropped in disbelief.

Dear lord its a TransBLUEcent Lord of the Darkness. Holy mother of all that is awesome. Seeing as I now had to get all the weird variants this knockoff pile had, I tore through the rest only to come up with 3 more guys as most of the foils had the regular painted ones which BTW are almost indistinguishable with the originals (Buyers Beware).

The foils also came with really random cards that didnt match the figure you where getting. Some of them had the badly translated bios and some where copies of the game cards from Italy with the additional stats. One card had really odd stats going on which seemed like the bootleggers just made it up. The cards where also of the shiny chameleon foil type that had spiraly designs all over.

So far ive only seen these in one store but i'll be surely scouting around for more. Has anyone seen these yet by any chance? If so do post pictures as i'm interested to see what other types of rubber they've been casting these in. I've only managed to get 3 Transbluecent and 1 Clear Glitter figure.

Ive attached more photos for your viewing pleasure taken from my bad camera phone (sorry about that).

BTW, I forgot to mention that each foil costs about 0.50USD. Yeah. 50 flipping cents.

Obscurio and Armageddon are fantastic! What a nice score! The identical-to-real painted figures, not so nice.

I'm pretty sure Professor lives in Singapore or Indonesia - I doubt we'll see any of these amazing bootlegs outside of Asia :(
A shame, because these are sweeeeeeeet!

They look soft and squishy. Are they regular, hard Gormiti plastic? Interested in selling? Can you keep an eye out for some of us here on the board? I know a few of us would love to get some of these. :thumbsup:

I live in the Philippines. Theres probably truckloads more of these somewhere but I havent been able to see any other knockoff shops with them.

As fot the material, they arent squishy at all. I'd say that the consistency of the rubber is almost similar to real Gormiti. The only difference is they smell really funny, and theres a bit of mold flash here and there as with most bootleg rubber guys.

Was around the area where I first picked these up, thought i'd check for more. Turns out that they still have a case left so I picked up everything I saw that I didn't have yet. Little buggers where even marked down to just approximately .30 US Cents each. Odd though that despite the insane number of knock off toystores here where I live, none carried KO Gormiti except for this one really out of the way store :/

I also recently found out that the green ones are glow in the dark :biggrin2:

The things came with really crazy made up cards that I wont bother to take photos of.

Any plans to share to share with fellow collectors? Do you have any doubles to sell? Would you mind picking up extras?

Yeah, it goes without saying that I'd take some off your hands if you had any spares. I'd even trade you real Gormiti for them :lol:

I'll see what I can do but i'm not making any promises. The damn store is really out of the way for me and if I do eventually get there, the one case they had left might already be gone.

Oh and I dont have spares, the ones pictured in the group photos are all of the ones I got. Guess I should've just bought the entire case huh? D'oh :p

WOW !!! Awesome :shok:
I bought some exclusive gormiti figures from Greece last year and found these 3 unknown figures.
I've never understood where they came from...

This is the answer :yes:

I would be interested to buy some of them from you, if possible, please let me know.
Thank you anyway

Finally someone who also has these! Your figure assortment is VERY interesting. I also found those two molds you have that I dont in the case I was sifting through, but they were all fully painted which I did not care for at all. I might need to scout around for some more shops in the outskirts that might carry these.

Sorry about that dude, its just that the shop they were in was really flipping out of the way. I thought I was going to see more of 'em in other shops but I never did. Anyway as I said I will try to pick some more to put up for trade if I can.

Great Professor ! :yahoo:
Hope you can find them.

Last year I bought 2 gold figures from a seller from Athens but I picked up them from a lot.
In the same lot I saw casually these 3 transparents figures, never seen before, so I traded them together.

I often speak with a member of the creative team of gormiti series, but he told me that they were absolutely unknown... until now :woot:

@ SaltLakeToyJunkee... don't worry, I wait my time, I'm 43 and be afraid only for diseases and taxes :yes:

The phillipines in professors little squirrell hole bootleg shop :ermm:

He says if he can make it back to the area he is finding them he will pick up the rest of the case for us. But he has to go back first and it is out of the way for him.

Hopefully one day soon.

Dear lord its a TransBLUEcent Lord of the Darkness. Holy mother of all that is awesome. Seeing as I now had to get all the weird variants this knockoff pile had, I tore through the rest only to come up with 3 more guys as most of the foils had the regular painted ones which BTW are almost indistinguishable with the originals (Buyers Beware).

The foils also came with really random cards that didnt match the figure you where getting. Some of them had the badly translated bios and some where copies of the game cards from Italy with the additional stats. One card had really odd stats going on which seemed like the bootleggers just made it up. The cards where also of the shiny chameleon foil type that had spiraly designs all over.

So far ive only seen these in one store but i'll be surely scouting around for more. Has anyone seen these yet by any chance? If so do post pictures as i'm interested to see what other types of rubber they've been casting these in. I've only managed to get 3 Transbluecent and 1 Clear Glitter figure.

..they used to be some Cartoon-labeled Gormiti foil bags for sale at our (spanish) equivalent of your dime stores..i.e. tienda de 20 duro (AKA "tienda de 100 pesetas" or "tienda de los chinos"), but Mr Bright Sparks didn`t even entertain looking or groping them properly, as they were 1,50 euros/each..whereas I can pick up Cartoons at 1 euro flat... Not sure if they are still for sale or not, worth of all, the mean-looking shopkeeper has the display right next to her, not sure if I get my fingers chopped off for fondling her foils...
