njo570 · Ninjago
Prime Empire · 2020
Figure ID
njo570
Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2020
Rarity
Uncommon. While available in multiple sets, it is an iconic variant from a specific narrative arc (Prime Empire) that has since concluded, making it harder to find in new condition.
Head
Double-sided yellow head with green eyes; one side features a determined smirk, the other a focused battle expression. Worn with the Digi-Ninja wrap/helmet in green and white.
Torso
Green Digi-Ninja suit with neon green accents and blue electronic circuitry print. Features a lime green right arm and dark green left arm with white hands. High-detail tech chest plate printing.
Legs
Green legs with hip and front matching the torso's electronic circuitry and strap details in neon green and blue. No side or back leg printing.
Accessories
Includes white shoulder armor (shades of the classic Ninjago shoulder pads) and a white visor element with a blue digital symbol. Usually equipped with a green 'Cyber Dragon' sword or controller hilt (missing in photo).
Color Scheme
A vibrant mix of standard green, lime green, white, and neon 'energy' blue accents, designed to mimic a video game avatar aesthetic.
Printing Details
High precision pad printing. The torso features intricate 'circuit' lines and the Ninjago language script. The visor has a unique digital icon print which is a standout feature of this wave.
Variants
Standard version (njo570) and a version appearing in the Gamer's Market with similar prints but different accessory bundles. This specific figure matches the standard armor variant.
Condition Notes
The white shoulder armor is prone to scratching. The lime green arm is a custom-colored plastic that can show stress marks at the shoulder socket more easily than standard green.

Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the Green Ninja, enters the digital world of 'Prime Empire' to stop Unagami. This 'Digi' version represents his digital avatar within the game's virtual reality.
Design Notes
The Prime Empire wave was notable for its 'cyberpunk' aesthetic. This figure utilizes the new-for-2020 two-part mask system with a transparent or printed visor insert.
Similar Minifigures
Digi Jay (njo563), Digi Kai (njo564), Digi Cole (njo566), and Digi Nya (njo565) share the same tech-armor design language.
Collectibility
High for Ninjago completionists. The 'Digi' variants are widely considered among the most creative and visually distinct suits in Lloyd's long history of variants.
History
Followed the 'Secrets of Forbidden Spinjitzu' line, marking a shift toward more vibrant, experimental color palettes in LEGO Ninjago character design.
Interesting Facts
The symbol on the visor is in the 'Ninjargon' alphabet and represents the first letter of Lloyd's name. This wave marks the first time the Ninjas became 'Video Game' characters.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with other Digi-Ninja on a neon-themed baseplate or inside a LEGO Prime Empire Arcade Pod.
Modification Potential
Excellent for cyberpunk MOCs. The lime green arm and tech-printed torso are highly sought after by custom builders for sci-fi or futuristic soldiers.
Overall Assessment
A solid 8/10 for design. It captures the digital theme perfectly through color and print. A must-have for Ninjago fans, though currently affordable due to high production numbers.
