I don't think that there are any failed LEGO themes that I truly hate. Galidor is one of the most despised pre-Bionicle action-figure themes. A true Galidor creation will, by definition, look ridiculous. However, you can take a few parts from that theme at a time and build them into other things well. This bluish pod thing in the middle was apparently a spaceship originally, but now it's the driver's seat of a mecha. Of course, that part is pretty huge and useless - you really need to look at a few of the close-up photos just to get an idea of the scale of this thing. I also love the irony of using other "useless" Technic parts - mostly Bionicle ones in fact - to revive the ridiculous Galidor theme.
