History Toys / Gormiti

* MixAndMatch: A recurring gimmick seen in extra releases is figures with swappable limbs, either with pegs or magnets. The Titanium toyline was also promoted as such in some countries, while the Morphogenesis line is focused entirely on the gimmick, alongside with the ability of combining characters into larger ones.

** While most of the Legends redesigns are faithful to the original ones, a few stand out for their differences: Gheos lacks his traditional head protrusions and instead has a helmet that makes him look like a humanoid rhinoceros, Tasarau has only two arms instead of four and the Forest Guardian Troncalion is slimmer and looks more like a goat[=/=}deer hybrid instead of the buffalo-like design of the old times.

* CollectibleCardGame: Three were released early on. The first one (''Battle Cards'') covered the first two series and their recolor upgrades (plus a bunch of Series 3 characters released as promos with books), the second one (''Metallcards'') focused on the Mythos and Energheia lines (with variations featuring Series 1, Series 2 and Atomic being released in Greece and Spain) and the third one (''Transparent Plasticards'') was based entirely on Final Evolution (plus a promo set based on The Lords of Nature Return! released as a freebie with Nesquik boxes). Another one came out only in France and was based on the cartoon series.

** The original Series 1 lore never mentioned Magor as a character. Magmion was claimed to be the main BigBad of the franchise instead. Magor was properly introduced in Series 2 and a comic remake of the Series 1 backstory was released to retcon him in the plot.

* CombiningMecha: While not mechs, the Morphogenesis Gorgolems work exactly like that, combining together multiple characters to make a larger one.

* Ambiguous Robots: Series 2 has Dragon, a dragonfly-like Gormite from the Air Tribe. His design is more angular and robotic than any other character in the line (outside of some Evil Gormiti from the Luxion series), the promotional shorts have him talk in RoboSpeak and his bio claims that nobody knows if he's actually made of flesh or metal.

* BodyOfBodies: A few Sea Gormiti, like Series 2's Multiplop or Series 3's Nobilmantis, are referred to be formed of multiple sea creatures with a single hivemind (the latter is clearly formed by five squids in a human-like shape, while the second haves a manta ray on his back and an electric eel on his right arm).

** The promotional short for Series 1 also haves its weirdness: while all the subsequent promotional shorts were made entirely in CGI, the first one used it only for a few establishing shots while using limited 2D animation for the most of the time (including promotional artwork edited with animated mouths and red lights over the eyes).

** The franchise had for years a "secret value" gimmick where every character haves a random value between 1 and 9 under its left foot that boosts the regular power level on the card, but for some reason a commercial for the first series implied that the complete collection required to own ''nine copies'' of each character, one for each value.

*** The main logo features Noctis, Lord of Air, with a completely different face than the actual figure (which looks like an eagle, while the proper design haves him look more like a barn owl with a falcon beak).

* TournamentArc: The Series 2 promotional short, ''The Great Eclipse'', narrates a tournament where the strongest member of each Gormiti tribe fights against the others to decide who ultimately will rule on Gorm.

** The last two series lack the powerup value gimmick that has been part of the franchise since its birth.

** Series 1 designs are very different from what came afterwards, as a remnant of when the line was supposed to be Series 4 of the already extabilished ''Exogini'' franchise, which was already [[CutAndPasteTranslation a bunch of foreign toylines Gig imported and treated as multiple installments of the same series]]: in fact, the lords have bulky proportions and seem to wear trunks as to blend together with the designs and wrestling theme of the ''Manga/{{Kinnikuman}}'' ''keshigomu'' figures that were released as ''Exogini'' series 1, while the skinny frames of the other characters and the "random number under the foot" fighting gimmick are taken straight from ''Fistful of Aliens'' (which was released as Series 3 of ''Exogini'').
