Gormiti are unarticulated plastic minifigures, sold primarily in blind bags, with accompanying training cards. In this way they are similar to existing blind bag toys like MUSCLE, Monster in my Pocket or Japanese gashapon toys. There have been numerous series released over the years.
The toyline separates the toys into elemental tribes. New tribes have risen and fallen over the toyline's history, but have included tribes like the Forest, Lava and Air Tribes. The tribes are sorted into "good" and "evil" tribes, with the elements fighting for supremacy of Gorm island.
The Gormiti toyline has been divided into several series, each with between 25 and 45 figures released per series (with the exception of Final Evolution which had a massive 84 figures released). Series 1, Series 2, Mystica, Atomic, Series 3, Mythos and Energheia were all released primarily in Italy. Energheia was released in the US, UK and the rest of Europe as Gormiti Series 1, with the other Italian lines then being re-issued in this territories under various names. As well as packaged in single blind bags, Gormiti have also been packaged in blistered multi-packs, boxed released and Mystery Egg blind packaging.
