Galidor(?)

[Rahkshi Lalonde]

Okay so, gonna be quick with this because i honestly have no idea what my life is anymore, I just spent over an hour remaking some Galidor figures in CCBS in LDD:

 

Gorm

 

Jens

 

Ooni

 

Euripides

 

(heads are placeholders, but i tried to get as close as i could.)

 

Obviously i'm not quite done, mostly i was looking for the ones that would tranlate easiest first. (and i totally will be making Makarr because i can't not make Makarr now can i?)

 

also, totally wish i coulda gotten good renders of them but, circumstances have made it so LDD screenshots are what's what currently, sorry!

While I don't have (and never had) interest in Galidor as a theme and a show, I can easily tell how accurate these are to the actual sets in terms of their general, overall appearances. Given some functionality, I'd buy some of these if they were to be official sets. 

 

Anyway, nice job on recreating them.

[Logan McOwen]

Fantastic! All very recognisable.

Now these bring back some childhood memories.

The fact that I haven't seen what their actual counterparts look like in so long, and yet see these as very recognisable, is a testament to the level of detail applied during their design. Spectacular job!

Thanks! while i was never aware of nor followed this particular line in its short lifespan, i have heard the common discussion of how it was sort of a wasted potential stunted by its too-specific and not lego-like moulds. so i was thinking "well now we have a simple and versatile system for figure building so, what would they look like?"

Good to hear! getting them to resemble the originals was tricky beyond just not having the right character heads. I honestly need to figure out how i can link to the LXF files because some of the weird builds these required aren't quite captured in their fullest here. 0:

Good work! It's hard to really remake a lot of the sets (as unique as they were), but you did a stellar job! In particular, I really like Euripides. To be honest, it's more faithful to the show than Lego's variant...

Thanks! i tried. :u

 

and yeah, Euripides reall ended up fairly nicely, even though he's probably one of the simplest. (i did have to mount the chestplate in a new way to get all the armours to fit though. man, i need to figure out how to host LXF files or something because you miss a lot in just these images. o: )

Galidor 2015 confirmed.
 
Seriously though—they're all super-recognizable and remarkably set-like. Now I'm actually legitimately interested to see LEGO being back Galidor in CCBS style.

Yeah, that's the idea, plus at least with this system even if people didn't liek it they'd probably make better part-packs. o:

 

speaking of making a good parts pack:

 

Makarr

jawblade head version

standing upright form

 

something tells me static technic-frame limbs mught have made this more feasible and smoother, but i really wanted it to shift between shark-man and shark-man-bike. y'know?

Did you change some dark green to regular green (or "earth green" to "dark green" in official color-speak) on Euripedes?

 

I'm impressed - these are surprisingly easy to recognize as the old sets. How far do you plan on taking this? As a rare color collector, I tend to think of Galidor in terms of how many rare colors show up in seemingly "useless" parts - there will probably never be CCBS elements in some of the weirder shades of purple there. Gorm looks close enough here, but I can't imagine how Nick Bluetooth or the TDN module might be possible.

[Khromatose]

That's not a shark-bike, that's Makarr. (Hah, pun!)

 

Anyways, these depictions are so good that I couldn't help to drop a comment. Although I honestly didn't have a lot of interest into this theme and show, I must commend you for accuracy and detail.

 

I would actually buy CCBS Makarr to be honest.

Yep! wanted a mix of greens to make the set feel less bleh. o:

 

and yeah, the colors have mostly been stuck to to-date colors, that is, a lot of the metallics n whatnot were changed to colors Lego actually uses today. :u

PUNS! but yeah, i've never seen or bought Galidor, i honestly just wanted to do this because it was a theme that was given a bad hand in a bad time in Lego's lifetime and deserved probs a bit better. o:

 

(i would buy Makarr too, and not just cause i designed it. :u)

[Toa of Ice - 1987]

Definitely very faithful and recognizable depictions.Did you try doing Nepol the blue and white Siktari warrior?

[Kanakalackin]

Euripides is fantastic! A shame we can't re-create them in CCBS without heavy customization.

What is that head used on Euripidies?

a green aquagon head! u:

I have absolutely no clue what that is.

the head from an AQUAGON set, but turned green, and actually the closest of the stand-in-heads i used here. O:

[Xboxtravis]

Wow, had these been the official sets instead of the stuff we got; Galidor might still be around!

[RAMPANT]

These are freaking awesome.  Jens is pretty much perfect.  It would be great to see Nepol, but I don't really see how you could make his head.

You can actually upload LXF files to brickset (Example here).  I did this pretty regularly back when I uploaded LDD mocs a lot.
