- “The two companies joined forces when Cartoon Network Studios had an interest in creating original content based on the inherent open-ended values of LEGO® play, at the same time that The LEGO Group was exploring a new concept involving small creatures – and Mixels was born.”
- — Official Mixels press release
LEGO Monsters also called Hungry Monsters was an idea for a LEGO theme that later became Mixels.[1] Like Mixels, it would have consisted of different brick-built creatures.
The logo for the theme.
History
Sometime in the past (most likely around 2012), LEGO created a small line of prototype Monsters. Around the same time, Cartoon Network wanted to co-create a theme with LEGO. LEGO and Cartoon Network worked on the Monsters idea and formed Mixels.
Sketch Models
Some of the would-be sets.
Little is known about the actual Monster models besides their similarity to Mixels. The sets appear to have been slightly larger than Mixels. Several of these sketch models look similar to the Mixels that would be released in their place. The original concept seemed to have up to five to a tribe, with much simpler designs.
A possible reference to Monsters is in the book LEGO Mixels: Mixels Vs Nixels! where the description states: "The Mixels are high-energy, monster-like creatures, who can combine with one another to form new warriors."
