DuckBricks Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Hey guys, Does anyone know why Gorzan has an angry, growling face in the sets? It makes no sense as he is always happy in the show... and even in wave 2 he is frowning :( Can anyone from LEGO comment on this? Or does anyone have any ideas? Thanks! legozebra Quote
Godtshep Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Perhaps it's based on a different concept or they thought it would appeal to kids more. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 It is a bit of a head scratcher that one. Now there were a few parts where he fought rather fiercely but still why didn't they create a variant of him with his mellow face? Quote
DuckBricks Posted April 19, 2014 Author Posted April 19, 2014 Perhaps... The only times I have actually seen him with that face was in "Gorillas Gone Wild" and "A Tangled Web..." Quote
krystalKING Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Gorzan in the show is animated, In the sets, he's always fighting. Problem solved. Quote
TheBrickPal Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 If you've noticed, the set storyline always seems to differ from the show version. I would assume that in the LoC set universe, Gorzan is always angry. Quote

I would assume that in the LoC set universe, Gorzan is always angry. I guess so... like in the sets Rawzom is the Raven King, but in the show it is Razar... But I am still a bit annoyed... Quote
Green Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I agree. I love the Gorilla tribe, but Gorzan appears in a LOT of sets and always has that permanent angry face. I wish they'd just release a more neutral version, maybe with just a frown or something. Quote
Yod2610 Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I believe, The Lego Group should create a wider range of Gorilla Tribe sets, but still we have too much of Gorzan. And in the Ultrabuild he has such an angry face... Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 They have released a more neutral Gorzan face in Sir Fangar's Sabre-Tooth Walker and Sir Fangar's Ice Fortress. It looks much better in my opinion. Quote
The Overlord Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 I'm going to have to go with Godtshep's answer. Kids just browsing the store that don't know all that much about the story would probably find a ferocious gorilla more "cool" than a level headed one. Quote
Aanchir Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 It's also entirely possible that the character design in the set was created before his personality was well-established. It's normal in a lot of LEGO media for the product designs to come before the story is completely settled on. It's hardly the only inconsistency between LEGO TV shows and the sets they're based on. In the LEGO Ninjago cartoon, Kai lacks the distinctive facial scar of the Kai minifigure, and Nya has never had the red makeup around her eyes from the original Nya minifigure (the Samurai X minifigure omitted this on its new angry expression, and the new Nya minifigure lacks it entirely). Also, Lloyd's Golden Ninja costume in the show is just that — a new costume — while in the sets his face becomes gold and the shape of his eyebrows becomes more stylized, much like the NRG minifigures from the 2012 spinner sets. Perhaps most strangely, Sensei Wu never wore his costume from the 2012 and 2013 Ninjago sets at any point in the show. Quote
