Not sure if anyone else feels this way but I found the Titanium series to be a let down. It seems they were made with a cheaper plastic/materials. The sculpts are kind of basic and less detailed. Also not a big fan of the articulation on these. I got a couple that the legs keep falling off with minimal effort. In fact One of my earth Gormiti came with only one leg. shorting me a complete set. The weapons seem rather cheesy thus far.(As I have not fully inspected every one). The Secret compartments look like they may brake easy if you are playing with them(which is bad for kids). But is probably the best thing this series has going for them.
What do you guys think?

ciao philly... new TT serie is poor than supreme eclipse... less detail for articolated item and whit a secret compartment that hides some accessories like rubber mask, stiks, scepter, glow in the dark gems, rubber rings and much more... gormiti are small statics figures and this serie is different than other... so is difficult to accept for a collector (purist) :-)

What type of plastic is it? Is it hard, brittle plastic? Soft, rubbery plastic?

Yeah, the worst kind of plastic. The Titanium series is a terrible letdown, and honestly they will likely either A: scrap articulation, weapons, and hidden compartments, or B: work out the kinks in budgeting and make better-quality articulated Gormiti (remember how the first normal Gormiti looked?). That said, they look terrible - Magmion, for example, is kind of a featureless blob with a gimp mask.
...I still want an Armageddon, though. I think he turned out all right.

Let me amend it:
If these were a side product or a happy meal giveaway, they'd be great. They just seem horrible as mainline Gormiti. Also, I got Armageddon - definitely my favorite of the Titanium pieces, although for some reason the inside of the foil was soaking wet! No mold or fungus, which implies that it happened recently. It was raining, so perhaps the bag just wasn't sealed. I'm trying to dry his card out because I like the art, but it is rather rippled. Anybody got a scan of it? I do sem to have an odd trend with Armageddon. My Eclisso Suprema one has a bent leg, and can't stand. It's warped enough that if I try hot water, it actually tears the plastic, so I'll just display him leaning on something or grounded with sily putty until I get a replacement (likely when the US series comes out so it's cheaper). I did pick up a 5-inch one, of course. Most of my trip to Rome has involved seeing the sights, ruins, and churches, but who can resist a land overflowing with Gormiti?
I like the fact that the titanium figures come apart, though. It makes for great mix-and-match possibilities. For example, give Armageddon's left arm to Magmion - it makes him look marginally more like Magmion! Likewise, both of Magmion's hook arms look good on Armageddon, particularly when reversed (then they look like mantis pincers). Again, these would have been nice if they were a sub-series like the magnetic figures.
...and dangit. I have Armageddon, and I have the trident head (from, er, Cyclops with two eyes). Who has the stick?
(edit) titanium Magic Egg figures are just like older Gormiti. Sweet!

Two words... Totally agree. I was disappointed with the Titanium Series. I ordered 6 off Ebay for my son, as you like to get the Gormiti his friends dont have
and werent too impressed, although my son was happy with them.
