In this universe, SlugonPlanetU was a successful youtuber who made LegoRebound videos, the longest being a 1 hour video about Rock Raiders, one of the most successful Lego themes that spanned for a decade, saved the company from bankruptcy, and had a short lived and rather disappointing reboot. He collabs with RRNicker, another famous youtuber who makes stop motion reviews of obscure Lego lines like Bionicle or Ninjago that only had one year to them until Lego moved on to other successful lines, like Galidor and Znap.
Say RR Nicker out loud
this is actually really good
@@TheAllAroundMan💀 i mean XD but then again 💀
"Kek Poweriser" is the best Lego toy name ever.
4chan would’ve had a field day with them in 2016.
"Unloved lego toys"
Pic 4: Bionicle, lmao
Payment sent! 😉
Thank you for letting me be a part of LEGO Rewind history, Nick! I'm honoured to have had the opportunity. ❤
You mean thank YOU for letting me be a part of LEGO Rebound history!
I think this might be the crossover of the century @@NickonPlanetRipple
Omg what is this a crossover episode 🤪
Seeing history happening here boy's
Also noteworthy is that the guy who played Nick is still active on twitter and friendly with what little Galidor fandom is out there.
See this is exactly why i like lego rewind so much. He ALWAYS has something original to say. Not following the generalised opinions, expressing his own, showing things at a different angle.
yeah!!!
Lego going all in with the multimedia campaign while everyone was going nuts over Bionicle kinda reminds of chima and ninjago
0:26 “Friendly fire will not be tolerated!”
EDIT: Stop liking, it’s at 69
I want none friendly fire only.
Fun fact, I clicked on this thinking it was on RR Slugger’s channel since he makes such elaborate April Fools videos...THE SHOCK
Galidor is the ultimate example of _"Perhaps I judged you too harshly."_
Prove me wrong, folks.
Hero Factory
@@highsoldier420nah hero factory atleast found some succes. I mean it lasted for 4 and a halv years. I get where ur coming from but galidor certainly gets more hate and negative jokes then hero factory ever did.
Know what? I agree. Maybe we did judge Galidor too harshly. It's not entirely my kind of thing, but it's earned my respect thanks to Nick.
Kinda reminds me of the flack Hero Factory got, except I really enjoyed that line even if it ended on a sour note I call "Great Value Pacific Rim."
That's the nostalgia talking. Galidor absolutely sucks.
@@highsoldier420 ^ see what i mean
You know, if Lego were to do this type of galidor toy construction system with Ben 10… They would had a huge hit.
Yeah and the had the Ben ten IP in 2010, yet they instead just made worse bionicle sets
Is it wrong that I was genuinely interested in seeing a Znap review?
Znap was already in “Dank Themes” to be fair
If Galidor was successful, I can see them using the action figure base as part of expert collectable lines. The huge fancy cars made of Technic pieces would be scaled to fit a Galidor size action figure of the actual driver. Or a new scale about 2/3 the size of standard Galidor if the sets needs to be a little smaller or scaled down more to be economical.
Maybe they can even use Galidor system as 'inner' frame for Bionicle, where the inner frame has the same articulating joints as the Galidor figures, but every segments are lined with Technic holes to build onto. A hollowed torso can be used for minifigure scaled mechs like the Ninjago mechs, but with Gundam level of articulation. Iron Man where Tony Stark is a standard Galidor type action figure, but the Iron Man armor is a separate build that goes on and off the action figure.
an actual galidor episode?? and i thought it would never happen, i loved the slugger cameo, you and him are probably some of my favorite and best lego youtubers around
Glad we got a proper Galidor episode! Seeing slugger here was wild too lol
It's Sluggin' time
Imagine if LEGO took another try at a Galador like Action Figure line with a major licensed IP like Fortnite or something that has TONS of highly recognizable and likeable character!
The only thing that caused Galador to fail is that not many people recognized the IP it was based on compared to others that existed at the same time.
Actually hasbro did do that with Star Wars, marvel and transformers called mashers
@@yellowscarf8812 Ok, now those were cool
I thought the LEGO giant Minion would be the best LEGO April Fool's thing I'd see today
I'm so glad I was wrong
Oh Znap! The episode we’ve all been waiting for!
NickOPR and Slugger combined is too powerful for my late 90s and 00s Lego nostalgia
For as easy a target of ridicule themes like Galidor can be, there's geniunely stuff to enjoy about it, its character design is strong, the toys of surprisingly great quality, the introduction if ratchet joins and the Kek Powerizer is probably the single most ambitious toy Lego's put out. It might make for a good april fools prank or your typical "imagine if *this* became the standard" comment, but Galidor *had* good in it
I recently found a sealed Galidor figure at my local thrift store for like five bucks. I immediately bought it. My buddy had almost the whole set when we were kids. This line may be kinda wack, but it means a lot to me. I want to get more in the future.
This video was great and i feel stoked to have nexo knight be the next rewind, i really liked it when it was around. My favorite wave was the final one with the cyber like villians the colours were great and this will make me feel real nostalgia.
Also you introduced me to the beautiful world of bionicle g1. Yeah i was around when g2 was around but i didnt really notice it but you have made me a new member of the bionicle fandom. Thank you nick thank you for everything.
Same here. I even got a close friend of mine into it.
same here
Imagine if LEGO dipped their toes into the fashion doll market, but properly this time
The crossover I’ve always wanted!
"unloved" i loved that weird green crab monster dammit
I got a bin of Galidor figures from a yard sale when I was a kid. I didn’t know they were lego until years later but I always had fun playing with them. I had a bunch of the little McDonald guys that were perfect as goons for their regularly sized counterparts
I imagine Galidor would've still very much been as classified as being "that weird non-LEGO line that's somehow made by LEGO" not unlike how Bionicle is treated in some circles of the LEGO fandom to this day had the line proved popular enough to last the typical three year structure LEGO tends to go for barring Bionicle G1, Friends, and Ninjago.
This video is exemplary of why you two are my favorite content creators on RUclips. Forever unexpected but always on point, well researched and well written, professionally produced, chock full of knowledge AND laughs, and always encouraging us to open our eyes, our minds, and our hearts. On behalf of the entire community, THANK YOU for all that do for us!
I snagged a nearly full line-up of Galidor at toy show recently. It was such an iconic moment to have them in hand after all these years of wanting them! They truly got more hate than they deserved!
This is the biggest crossover I've never knew I wanted!
I am genuinely so mad that I didn't even have the chance to be into Galidor as a kid. Was just born too late. Which sucks, because I can say with 110% certainty that Galidor would've been my favorite thing ever; I would have bought every single figure and accessory, probably multiple times over. I would have singlehandedly saved the Galidor brand.
I know Galidor was never that popular, but I loved it so much when I was kid. And Galidor still has a small place in my heart all these years later.
The silence on Znap is very telling
I think their “mostly bricks” philosophy these days can be blamed on the success of The Lego Movie.
I love Gallidor!
I remember having a Nepal and Gorm as a gift, they're some fave toys as a kid!
Imagine what more potential they can be if they weren't cancel that early... what a shame..
Bro I thought I started watching a RR Slugger video, man this is the crossover that we didn’t think we’d get, but definitely needed
Wow I love this years rebound April fools I don’t know how this Rick from planet nibble but I check him out
Honestly, as someone who recently found some old Galidor toys of his a couple years ago.... We share exactly the same thoughts. Surprisingly really solid action figures that really should have been given more of a chance back in the day.
it's so nice to see someone actually give this toyline a nice appreciation, this was my childhood and it hurts that it's just kinda a punchline these days
Omg i had that funny green duplo creature as a little kid! It had claws and a tail and it was very cool.
I already loved Galidor, I wanted to learn about Znap! 😭
I do cover it in the “weird themes” episode, at least
The collab we ALL NEEDED
My experience with Galidor before watching your initial Galidor april fools episode (The paralel universe one) was limited to the Nick and Nepol Mc Donald toys (Being born in 2002, I never saw the initial Galidor boom like my brothers probably did). When I was arond 10 or so (I don't remember) I saw like 1 or 2 episodes of the TV series via reruns in my native french: I mostly remember that Euripides ate the winter clothes he was given thinking it was how they kept you warm or something like that. I didn't even know those McDonald toys in the Lego containers had their own show before that.
I appreciate you did made this more serious video about Galidor to close the book on the subject.
-A fellow autistic artist, not to the point to make an ongoing comic like you do, but I do a lot of art.
The combination gimmick is kind of like the Transformer Hero-Mashers kits that were around a few years back
I always wondered about the clutch power of Galidor feet on studs and so glad someone tested it. And who else but Nick Himself to do the job?
Galidor's marketing was haphazard but the figures themselves always looked cool and interesting to me. Enough for my parents to mail in for an Official Defenders Kit. None of the sets made it to my household, though. Jack Stone was more my thing then. That said I would've loved these chunky guys as a toddler! Even more so now, with your and RR Slugger's reappraisal of theze crazies.
I never had Galidor as a kid, I don't even remember it being sold in my country so when I stumbled upon it on the internet I thought it was kinda lame. This episode genuinely changed my opinion, I had no idea these were such high quality (movable eyelids?? That's cool af!) and now I wish I had them back in the day
Allegra - it’s not just for allergies
This is the ultimate crossover!
Imagine if Lego Gave us CCBS pieces with these types of textures instead of 95% of them being smooth like standard Lego bricks... (mainly talking about the shell pieces)
YES! I couldn’t agree more! 👍
Imagine if CCBS expanded it's parts lot beyond the standard she'll pieces. Like giving us back cover so that we have no exposed skeletons, or new torso pieces that allow waist articulation. Looking at some knockoff brands, they are more innovative than Lego ever did. Those CCBS Ultraman builds are quite impressive, and those sets that come with the amazing articulated hands.
Best crossover!
Seeing this I want Hero Factory back, could totally be like ninjago done right new heroes and olders return as legacy figures
Or a Exo Force remake with today standarts mechs
What a great duo!
Can’t wait for the new season of Lego Rebound🔥
If there's one thing I respect the most about Lego is that they really do push quality in their toys and relative products. Yeah, Galidor was a commercial failure but they have the same attention to detail and QC as any other theme. Same for Lego movies, clothes, video games, etc. If it doesn't sell well, it's more of a failure in marketing research or in establishing a presence in that market. Lego as an action figure is about as strange to customers as Lamborghini making pick up trucks. And Hasbro/Matel has the largest share for action figures.
But they continue to try to experiment with new ideas, like with AR in the Hidden Side series. Amazing sets. Not much success with the AR game and the graphics on the box were confusing. So as much as we like to tease about Galidor, it's apparent that Lego can in fact produce action figures as good as Hasbro/Matel, which should make competitors shiver if Lego tries again someday.
The TV show theme sounds like an F Zero GX soundtrack
Perhaps it's possible to 3D print a Minnow figure and glue in some technic parts for replaceable limbs
While Galidor may not have been great, I do wish Lego still made CCBS themes. They were cool.
Galidor was probably the single most ambitious project Lego had ever done, which I feel is why it ended up failing, because they ended up spreading themselves too thin. Even Bionicle took itself more slowly to grow into what we know today.
Wow, something actually new to say about Galidor that isn’t the same as what everyone else is saying, but isn’t just contrarian for the sake of it!!!
Am I the only one that got excited for R.R Slugger review of znap? Totally forgot about April 1 😅.
Great episode
Hey Nick, just wanted to thank you for your work on Lego rewind and Planet Ripple. Just finished my 3rd rewatch of the series, it’s so cozy to come back to. Thank you for all you do, Support from Aus 🇦🇺
All jokes aside, I'm so glad there's a retrospective on galidor that actually acknowledges the strengths and interesting points of galidor. I never owned a glinching set, but as a bionicle fan I loved the sister theme nonetheless. While it deserves much of the criticism it gets, it's simply unfair to say it's just bad. Thank you for allowing child me to heal and feel accepted.
SLUGGER!!!
Lego needs to make a set of this to acomplish their failure
I had a Kek Poweriser back in the day and I thought ut was a pretty cool toy at the time. Also funnily enough I remember The Ninjago City Modula from 2017 had a Minifig that wore a Galidor shirt.
Lego does still sell 'other' stuff than "bricks, bricks, bricks, .... and Technic"!!
They've also got all those plushies and foam cosplay playthings. 🙂
And video games.
A SHED-TONNE of video games!!! 🙂
I forgot what day it was- OH MY GOD IS THAT SLUGGER
brilliant april fools day video
i like this video
I remember getting some of the toys from McDonald’s back in the day. As well as watching a little bit of the tv show on the old ABC Family. This was Doctor Who to me, before it was revived 3 years later. It would be impossible if Lego had a second chance with this series. Like maybe Reboot it, but with real Lego sets, & buildable figures that are just like the ones we have now. And a animated show that Netflix would owned.
Another excellent viddo from P.R snailer, almost on par with his power miners retrospective
Galador is like a legend on the lego community! haha.
Wonderful video!
I love seeing a new take on this theme! And seeing these things on camera I can see what made them unique
(That one figure with the open and closing eyes was cool!) I’m sure the galador fans are happy to see some appreciation 😁😄
Ahh yes, my favourite show
Man you talk about Bionicle so much on your channel, a Lego Rewind about it would be fire!! /j
What goes around...
I'm glad you finally had not just a taste, but a full-course meal of Galidor parts and figures. As a kid, I was excited for Galidor as I was for any other LEGO toy, including Jack Stone. I still remember holding the box for Ooni at Christmas with my cousins or going to ToysRUs for a Galidor event and walking away with a neatly colored page of Nick and Gorm fighting. And somehow when signing away for 2 Galidor Defender Kits (for my brother and I), I received 3 Defender Disks instead of 2! While I remember little of the TV show nowadays, the creature designs seemed intriguing like they really felt like parts of a bigger universe, err, dimension.
As for as the toys, I can attest that they are highly durable. My childhood parts still hold up to this day after swapping and posing for a long time. The flexible pin-axles of some parts like on the TDN feet, Allegra's hair, and the McDonald's toys is bothersome for what would have been a better system, but not a defect to the base system that was influential in the long run. I only found the arms easy to pop off if they connected to the shoulders directly lined up, elbow touching the arm sleeve. And the variety of texture makes sense to praise for the same year; BIONICLE also had changing textures based on their wave, but you can tell some didn't work together, like the dotted Inika pattern mixed with grid-like Metru joints.I understand how and why they made that work in CCBS all being the same, but it lacks originality between characters and clashes with designs typical of superheroes or Star Wars (especially more organic ones like Chewbacca). I like the nickname of "Ick". Heh, "nick"name. Pun not intended.
Nice video
Sometime back in 2023 found some Galidor characters that was for sale at a fle market, person had only 3 an it was Nick, main villain an I think the green alien dude an all 3 still in their packages.
vidyo was so weird its been completely memory holed by everyone
4:52 This guy was already, imo, the best looking of the lineup. But I've never seen that play feature before! That's sweet!
When legends collide!
The names for things in this line just feel too much like a parody. I just can’t shake the feeling of it being toys that don’t really exist
I was into Galidor back in the day, kid me was really into the show, and REALLY into all the ARG and game stuff Lego was doing on their website, which I believe you can still find fully working on the Internet Archive and other places. But I never got any of the toys, from what I remember stores in my area did not carry them. Though having never gotten my hands on any Galidor toys, other than one or two of the McDonalds Happy Meals setts, they remind me of the classic Masters of the Universe toyline. In they took the thing fans did, taking limbs, heads, accessories, etc, apart and then making new figures and characters from it. But as the toy line's main official gimmick. It's neat.
Honestly the most bizarre intro I have ever seen😂😂😂😂😂
These April Fools videos usually start here then cut to some AU. This time we flipped the script by STARTING an an AU and jumping back to this timeline.
@@NickonPlanetRipple that was good, saw the vid on sluggers community page and decided to watch it, but did NOT expect slugger to start the vid.😂🤣🤣🤣 best April fools day video yet! Totally caught me off guard!🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's time.
I had the egg ship basic nick his female friend I think basic Nepal or the "deluxe" i had the basic green guy a few glitch nicks & the basic BBEG I loved the show & toys but never got to see the site or games as a kid tho I regret getting rid of my galidor toys
What are you all talking about Galidor for? Was Slugger's comparison about Znap at 19:98 really that controversial?
Nick Bluetooth noticed me on Twitter for saying the word Galidor yesterday.
Another awesome rewind Nick! It’s nice to see Galidor get a little bit of love.
On a different note, have you ever considered doing a rewind episode on Lego Dimensions?
I..... that would have to be a patron funded thing. I just don't have much to say about it.
Oh, I get it now
I found a bag of Galidor at the thrift store a few years ago and still regret not buying it
thats a sluggo
Sure is! 😆
I forgot what day it was for a second. 😂
The galidor game on the lego site introduced me to bionicle before they took it down. Which I only found out from the tv series I accidently found looking for another similar show on the BBC. (It was a weird 3d only series about a kid turning into a hero alter ego).
Anyway Galidor wasn't great imo but the potential was there and it showed me to try new things I might not like. It spurred the moment I went on a closed/open beta mmorpg search during the early 2000's.
Tbh I miss the days lego took risks on original franchises. Granted we had hiddenside and monkeykid which did try, but how ofyen do they try a non-system set?
I hope Eljay doesn't alter the plot of the Galidor TV show.
I loved Galidor growing up.
The only way to use the Kek Powerizer is to put Euripides in there. It's just common sense
