Review:8311 Gorm/Mr. Bimple

(Images coming soon.) I have always wanted a Galidor set. I find their unique parts fascinating, and the story-line is well developed. But none of these are really true. I was however able to pick up 8311 recently. Gorm was released sometime in 2002 and sold for $10. He has 12 parts, which make it be nearly a dollar per part.

The Build[edit | edit source]

There is really nothing that hard about connecting 12 parts, however no instructions come with the set. Even If I could do it without the instructions other's might have trouble. After the build, 4 peg holes are left open without any known reason. (these are only on the back.)

Parts[edit | edit source]

This set has a "large" amount of parts, I will start with the arms. A very short oddly shaped part connect to the torso. It looks nothing like an upper arm when connected to Gorm. The lower arm is just as short, but skinnier. A slightly deformed and un-moving hand is connected to it. The hands look like they could hold something, but nothing comes in the set.

The torso might be the oddest part in the set. Towards the top is an odd purple printing that seems to look like angry eyes. Near the printing Gorm's shoulders seem to be too big. A purple printed "cloth" piece hands from his torso. In the back there are 4 unused holes.

Gorm's head looks a bit like something out of Star Wars. On the right side, he has some kind of cheetah spots. These spots seem out of place on a space overlord. On the left he has purple tubes. Gorm's right eye looks to be robotic. The left is green. We can see that Gorm has pale grey skin, which makes him seem dead. That might explain the deformed hands. Altogether his head is just strange.

Gorm's upper leg is pretty much a longer version of his upper arm. His lower leg is wider and has a very flat foot on the end.

Gorm is not life like at at all and is not proportional.

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

Galidor is really as bad as I thought. Don't get any of the sets. It is a waste. The set has no custom-ability whatsoever, but if you know the Galidor story line you might like these.
