Galidor is a discontinued Lego theme released from 2002 until 2003. Noted for its departure from traditional Lego bricks in favor of customizable action figures, the theme was poorly received and is credited in part for the financial failure of the Lego brand prior to Jørgen Vig Knudstorp becoming CEO in 2004.
Overview
Inspired by the success of Bionicle in 2001,[1] the Lego Group sought to create a new line of action figures that departed from the system of bricks for which the company had been known. During this period, the company produced a range of themes that did not focus on traditional Lego bricks, such as Znap, Primo, Scala, and Galidor.[2][3]
