They were an old company that had been taking the same general approach to making products for decades, weathering fads and trends so well some execs might've feared the other shoe was due to drop. Then a rather flashy, dramatic youth culture shift happened as Lego started to do badly. 'Being out of touch' was a logical enough thing to believe had caused their failures. It would've been a tempting theory to believe because it was a simple, neat one and the solution was uncomplicated: just follow the new youth paradigm. But it was a *terrible* idea to lay off Master Builders with decades of practical experience figuring out the aesthetic and engineering potential of _every single brick_ Lego'd ever produced. Their skill would have been just as useful crafting sets that followed the new themes, and Lego needed all the talent it could get to help them power through if they stumbled while reinventing itself. I think their recent themed line of augmented-reality sets is another ill-considered attempt to jump on a bandwagon. The color scheme it employs is dull and unappealing, and if you don't make use of the AR gimmick the whole thing becomes underwhelming. But at least the sets can still make for decent play that way.

I had a Kek Powerizer as a kid and am just now learning it did all of that extra stuff at 26. Shows how successful that was...

As a fun little overlap between Bionicle and Galidor one of the most popular long running bionicle fan sites, BZpower regularly ran themed contests to build the coolest bonkle, at one point this contest theme was mechs and one of the more impressive entries used the galidor egg as a cockpit. People lost their shit over this "cheating" and it led to a massive flame war of people complaining that using a massive non bionicle piece as centerpiece should disqualify it while other people hit back that it was a legitimate lego part.

As far as failures go, Galidor was amazing. Most companies when they fail are from a lack of willingness to change, to experiment and try what's new. Everything about Galidor was filled with a keen want to push and try. And through the process they gained what they needed to continue. Though it may not of been the IP it's self the experience still advanced lego forward. Still though, it's a shame all that creative power was spent on the body horror concept that is glinching.

@TiredEyePilot

Жыл бұрын

Honestly I would have loved galidor when i was little and could still enjoy it now. I love making Lego characters look as ridiculous as possible it's fun.

I think that a big part of why Galidor never took off was its severely limited compatibility with the rest of Lego's products. I was in pretty much exactly the age demographic that Galidor was targeting when it came out, but I never had any interest in the toys specifically because they didn't allow for much building in the way that normal Lego did. Contrast it with Bionicle and it's easy to see why it lost in sales. Bionicle was built on the same proven engineering as earlier Technic themes like Throwbots and Robo Riders, and felt like a natural extension of those themes, except more realized and with a story behind it. The fact that Bionicle's parts were designed to be fully integrated with Technic meant that there were plenty of opportunities for building right from the start. Bionicle was "Lego Technic that you build as an action figure" while Galidor was "an action figure that happens to be Lego". I actually think that this is part of why Hero Factory had a harder time than Bionicle as well. While nowhere near as egregious as Galidor, it's still astonishingly difficult to integrate a lot of HF's parts into System or Technic builds. That kind of limitation really hurts when you're trying to sell a building toy like Lego.

I played the crap out of the Galidor Quest game on the old Lego website when I was a kid. I couldn't find it for years until I downloaded Flashpoint and searched it up again. I vaguely remembered the TV show, and everyone thought I was crazy because no one ever heard of it before.

In an alternate universe where Bionicle had been given all the funding and promotion that Galidor got in our universe, I’m pretty sure it’d still be going today.

@Frommerman

Жыл бұрын

I kinda disagree. Throwing so much money at Galidor was likely detrimental to the project as a whole. Not only did it mean that when it failed, it failed so hard it almost took the company with it, it also meant the designers had no constraints. What I mean by that is that they could have genuinely done anything with this product. Their only limitation was that the end result be made mostly of injection-molded plastic, but that doesn't give you anything to start with. Restrictions breed creativity, and they started with basically none. Furthermore, it meant the project could afford to have multiple, entirely separate teams with few lines of communication, resulting in issues like the toy people having no idea how bad the show was until it was finished, the video game people getting iced out entirely, and the writers/character designers coming up with cringe terms like "glinch" and "kek powerizer," with nobody in any of the other design positions able to question that. Tossing so much money at this produced a too many cooks situation entirely because Lego hired so many cooks, and their output was so stupid because they didn't have any good frameworks to work within. If this had all been the brainchild of one person instead, given creative control over all the different aspects of the project, it would have been both cheaper and less scattered a product line.

My exact thought process

I remember being so excited for the Lego Dinosaurs when they first came out. I thought they were some sort of Lego transformer. I was pretty confused when I finally got one, and I still don’t really get what they were going for with those toys. You couldn’t even mix and match parts to make weird creatures, because everything was so specifically sculpted and colored. It’s interesting to get the context that they’d taken on new talent when they started making all these weird sort of action figures. These were adults who had no affection or personal experience with Lego, it’s fascinating to see that they were more interested in making toys that were basically unrelated to Lego. Today, sets are designed by people who obsessively experimented and played with Lego as kids, and it really shows. It’s cool to be able to compare Lego products designed by people who didn’t understand them, to sets designed by people with deep love and experience with them.

To be fair Galidor was the final show to air on the Fox Kids programming block in the United States before it closed down. It aired right at the tail end of Fox Kids life span, so it's understandable why most don't remember it.

These toys were a piece of my childhood that I would trade for something else. I live in the Philippines and my parents bought the complete set since they were being sold EXTREMELY CHEAP despite their apparent "lego quality". That really shows this toyline tanked so bad since it was being sold in bins in a third world country. The bonus was my cousins also was able to buy theirs and were able to play together with four Kek Powerizers. I remember watching the TV Show too, but it was dubbed with local language so the Kek didn't exactly work. While I praise these toy's quality. I admit my little kid brain didn't really have fun with them, except turning that grey robot into a spider scorpion thing my Bionicles would fight against. I just went back playing with my hotwheels a week later, with the Kek occasionally being a "giant robot" prop.

I haven't thought about Galidor for close to 20 years now. I remember watching the TV show a bit as a kid. I wasn't too impressed by it, but remembered it was kinda fun. The thing I remember most is actually those "awful" McDonalds toys. I got some from happy meals and had a lot of fun mixing and matching them. I never knew they were a Lego product! But what you say is true, Bionicle did the buildable action figure thing waaaay better. I was a huge Bionicle fan as a kid, and there's no way I would have bought Galidor toys when Bionicles were on the same shelf. Great video, keep up the good work.

Man, it's like Bionicle's evil twin in every sense. ConstrAction figure line? Yup. But Bionicle (at least in its golden years) had way more space for creativity and MOCs, while Galidor... had swappable limbs and heads. Cool characters? Bionicle has them up the wazoo. Galidor... looks like it was designed by someone who wants to appeal to kids despite never being one himself. Cool setting and out-of-toyline material? Well, I feel like Bionicle got it right with borrowing from Maori culture and others and then coming up with its own vocabulary for stuff that all sounded mysterious and cool. It's not just the masks, it's the Kanohi. It's not just a beast, it's a Rahi. And so on, and so forth. Galidor... had a cringey-looking TV show you'd watch if there wasn't anything better on the air at that time and terms like "glinch" that just make you cringe. No wonder their fates were mirror opposites and yet strangely the same - Galidor almost bankrupted Lego, while Bionicle saved it... and now they both are forgotten and some hack of a writer makes jokes at Bionicle's expense in the Toy Story ripoff movie.

Chima has constraction sets. it has amazing character design. it has a stunning setting, world building, ideas and plot. It just had *bad* execution. Thanks, tommy. After thinking for a little while, I decided to edit this comment, summarizing how amazing Chima is. Chima is a lego theme about anthropomorphic animals living in a distant society. Their society is technologically advanced thanks to Chi, a naturally occuring chemical that can be used as an energy source for oneself or their machines. However, its abundance AND secondary effects, that are similar to drugs, were one of the reasons a civil war broke out in Chima. It is also the reason most villains came to life. Legends of Chima has a very deep story, with amazing character designs and sets, although its writing is unfortunately an abomination because of its writer Tommy, in favor of Ninjago. The fact that anthropomorphic animals were used in this theme is incredible, as not only does it synergize with the story itself, but it helps create this otherworldly feel. Creating new, fictional cultures is very hard; humans have been existing for a long while, and with the abundance of different real-life cultures comes the pressure of either making your story set in stone on said culture (like Ninjago, which failed miserably on setting its world) or mixing real-life cultures to make a new one. With anthropomorphic animals, you have creative liberties with the cultures, because anthros will *never* exist in real-life. It was a smart play, and one that showed how characters CAN and WILL affect the world in itself. The writing may be abhorrent (as a Chima fan, I really do mean it), but everything else about Chima is a piece of art. It tried to do what most themes didn't, but because of circumstance and bad writing, *it was swept away as either f*rry (look at the thread), which is blatant misconception, or as a "Ninjago copy" by children* . Also, please, ignore the bait comment in this thread. I seem a little salty, but this happens a lot because these types of comments are basically used as a way to underappreciate and discriminate franchises, cultures and etc. that use anthropomorphic animals, especially because these types of baits (who sometimes aren't baits, shockingly enough) use an *infamous* fandom as a comparaison, with drama that has nothing to do with the culture that the fandom is based on. I could write a long comment on this subject, too. Sorry for the long comment, but I seriously could ramble on and on about what Chima tried to do, what it is, why is it the best unlicensed theme (some people would say Bionicle is better, but I digress) and etc. Legends of Chima is a work of art, with love and care put onto it. I wished people treated this franchise fairly.

Also the name is terrible, "Galidor" does not sound sci-fi at all out of context, honestly it sounds almost Arthurian and would fit a high fantasy series better (honestly something like "The Knights of Galidor" where you had knights taking on aspects of the fantasy monsters they fought would have been a way better concept). Like I wouldn't say Bionicles is a self explanatory name, but it's one that feels right in context, whereas Galidor feels like they came up with the name first and then everything else second.

A small youtuber with good audio quality, solid video editing, and well written scripts? Yeah, you aren't gonna be "small" for too much longer. Great work, loved the transition that used AC/DC.

Good god, this video brought back a memory I have form literally 20 years ago, of me rummaging through a friend's toy box and finding a bunch of parts of these things, specifically the poweriser and the wing arms. I had absolutely no idea at the time what they were from until now.

I feel like the show should have been a cartoon. No rubber suits, no Y2K-level cheap CGI, and cheap cartoons could still look good. That being said, I might have been willing to watch this as a kid, if I had known about it. I did get a McDonald’s toy, and I thought it was actually pretty fun. I had no idea that it was a LEGO product.

Marketing perception back then was that young kids watched cartoons, but older kids favored live action shows like _Power Rangers_ and the like. Since the target market for this toyline was kids 10-14, they consciously avoided an animated cartoon. _The Simpsons_ and _X-Men The Animated Series_ were really the only two cartoons at that time which were considered acceptable for teens and adults to enjoy. Lego would've been taking an even bigger risk by making this an animated series.

Those are perfectly common Danish names and that struck me as odd, being a Danish kid. For what seemed to be a far out sci-fi concept those, to me, quite mundane names seemed out of place.

Thanks for making this video and finally shedding some light on what this toy I played with a lot as a kid was.

I have a book on the history of Lego minifigures. It notably does not include Galidor. It's not because it's limited only to true minifigures- Bellville figures and Friends/Elves minidolls make appearances, as do Duplo figures and even a mention of Bionicle and Hero Factory figures.

Weird. When I first saw Galidor videos being recommended to me, I thought: "What is that? I've never heard of those LEGOS" Then the childhood memories came rushing back! I had a friend at the time, who got REALLY into this franchise... like, immediately. I think he had bought every single one of the sets, and collected all the happy meal toys. To be fair, he was really into LEGO, and did the same with Bionicle. I remember I had the "Ooni" set (had to look up the name) and the "Gorm" happy meal toy (looked that up too). I don't remember if I bought the set myself because he convinced me to try to get into the franchise, or if it was a gift from him. I never watched the show, played the games or kept the toys I had, but I still remember him telling me that the robot wasn't really a robot, but was a sentient plant living inside a robot body. He was quite enthusiastic about it.

Honestly, if they'd stuck with creatures (kind of like a Spore-esque theme) I think it could've been cool.

Just tuned in but wanted to give my 2 cents as a LEGO fan with lots of memories from this era. I never got into Galidor as a kid but over the years Galidor became a more and more prevalent meme throughout the convention scene. At its peak Brickfair Virginia even had the actor who played Nick Bluetooth appear (I met him, he's really nice). I distinctly recall seeing in stores and reading all about it in LEGO Magazine and even got a few Happy Meal toys, but only ever had one friend who got one of the toys for a birthday. Looking back it was surreal how prevalent the franchise was, but how little anyone seemed to care.

I do find it so weird and funny that galidor actually has had one major impact on lego from then. The joints are still used today albeit with tiny updates over time.

I remember seeing the show on YTV around 2001. Didn't know there was a Lego line connected to it. It seemed to constantly be airing in between shows I actually wanted to watch, so decided to give it a chance and found it was pretty alright. Learning the behind-the-scenes about it does explain a lot. I think if Lego did a Galidor revival with a fully CGI cartoon, it might work.

Seriously amazing content. For such a small channel you are putting out stuff on par with the biggest channels out there. Amazing editing and quality, keep it up!!

The executive who saw Bionicle's pitch up and said "let's keep these tribal robots as back up in case Galidor fails" literally saved lego.

I would never have guessed that Lego pioneered on-disc DLC.

I am still steadfast that Galidor got heavy inspiration from Doctor Who. A blue ship that travels to random and new places thats bigger on the inside? Hell, the controll room with the center console is basically a Tardis control room.

He can always be seen in the near or middle distance of things, having changed his name again so others won't recognize him and panic. 😂
