“In 1999 and 2000 the Technic line included a totally new theme called Throwbots in North America and Slizer elsewhere. These were not made from traditional Technic parts, did not have traditional Technic functions, and were not vehicular scale models. Rather, these were... More anthropomorphic robotic dolls. The common function was a printed disc projectile.”

“The Ski Slizer (8501) from LEGO’s 1999 Technic Slizer line is a simple yet charming set that offers a fun, nostalgic build. Featuring a cool blue-and-white color scheme and functional play elements like disc launching from its left hand, it’s perfect for both display and action. The movable limbs and unique gear mechanism that controls the head add some extra versatility, though its simplicity compared to later themes like Bionicle may limit its appeal.”
